[KS] RE: Etymology of "Hof"?

It is from German as in "Adlerhof" etc. and first appeared in such
combinations.  Late in the 80's it became a generic name for places to
drink, and the latest development is that "hof" is used as a synonym of
"draught beer."

Could someone enlighten me regarding the etymology of the Korean word
"Hof" (as in English "bar / drinking place")?

Thanks.
