Korean rice wine? Cheongju is korean rice wine, but I've never had it. Most definitely downtown. If you're asking about makkeolli (a brewed rice booze beverage) it's pretty good to drink but definitely not a great thing to get drunk on. If you're asking about baekseju, it's more like half-strength soju that's cleaner.

Some will, some won't. The only places I know that serve makkeolli are HongMi (Red Chicken), Sura, and MaDangCoel. As for Baekseju...it's not worth it for me (more than soju, and half as strong), so I haven't got a clue.
