Gwangalli Beach & Millak Waterside Park

Gwangalli Beach & Millak Waterside Park

Nighttime is when this beach truly shines: it starts with the spectacular sunset, followed by an unobstructed view of the nightly Gwangan Bridge light show (8, 9 and 10pm Fri-Sat and 8 & 10pm Sun-Thu), which is sometimes complemented with firework displays. There are street performances along the promenade and dozens of inviting eateries. Unsurprisingly, the beach tends to get quite busy after sundown and is especially popular with local youths who particularly favour the area. If you feel up to a genuine local nightlife experience, pick up some picnic food (sashimi and soju are usually the local combinations of choice) and join the crowds at Millak Waterfront Park.

Gorilla Brewing Co.

Gorilla Brewing Co.

A popular craft brewery with a couple dozen varieties of beer on tap; order by flight or individual glass. The roomy interior follows an industrial theme and can feel somewhat empty outside of peak evening hours, so plan your visit for somewhere around 9pm.

HQ Gwangan 4F

HQ Gwangan 4F

This Gwangalli Beach staple is a bar especially popular with expats: affordable drinks, live music, great vibes, and a spectacular night view of the Gwangan Bridge are a few of its unbeatable USPs.

Haeundae Ogtap Rooftop

Haeundae Ogtap Rooftop

A lively rooftop bar with a view of the sea, Haeundae Beach and its surrounding high-rises, which light up beautifully at night. Order a beer and take it all in from the panoramic outdoor terrace; a snack and food menu is also available.

The Bay 101 Yacht Club

The Bay 101 Yacht Club

This buzzing waterfront development is a popular venue for an after-sundown excursion, whether it be to enjoy the spectacular cityscape that unfolds from here or indulge in some expertly cooked dishes of world cuisine (try the beef noodles at Daedo). There are both high- and low-end dining options available, as well as a coffee shop that also sells desserts like ice cream and Korean shaved ice.

Boksoondoga F1963

Boksoondoga F1963

Located at the F1963 cultural centre is Boksoondoga, a fine dining restaurant celebrated for cultivating a revival of "makgeolli", a traditional variety of carbonated Korean rice wine that is fermented with "nuruk" and served unfiltered. Historically, this particular variety of wine was held to be a farmers' drink, but has now gained a following among the younger generations and brought into the realm of "hip" by enthusiasts such as the founding Kim brothers. The restaurant serves an excellent menu that straddles Korean and western influences. After a meal, explore on and browse through the book store and gallery space of F1963.
