Things to do in Busan at night, 2024

1. Gwangalli M Drone show – every Saturday night

Busan’s Gwangalli Beach is the place to be every Saturday night with the weekly Gwangalli M Drone display over the night sky. Seriously for us, this has to be one of the top 5 things to do in Busan at night, not just Gwangalli.

Every Saturday night at 8pm and 10pm (October- December 7pm and 9pm), over 300 aerial drones take to the skies of Gwangalli Beach and create an incredible skyborne spectacle, with various scenes and characters created.

The characters and images created by the Gwangalli M drones vary weekly so you never know what to expect from the aerial display. One of our most memorable things about the Gwangalli M weekly drone show is the audible gasps and sighs from the audience gathered on the beachfront.

2. Seomyeon nightlife

Akin to Gangnam in Seoul, Seomyeon is the mecca for late night entertainment in Busan, a hustling and bustling area packed full of clubs, street performers, craft beer bars and restaurants that stay open until very late – you can also find late night shopping here too.

Known for its bright lights and late nights, this is where a lot of the younger generation in Busan head out – bars and late night venues such as Thursday Party (cos Thursday is the new Friday), Moma, Savoy and Output are all popular venues.

For the best mix of bars, restaurants and shoppings, head to Seomyeon shopping street and the surrounding alley-ways as you likely stumble across something to suit all tastes.

Easily one of Busan’s best beaches and one of South Korea’s most colourful coastal getaways, Haeundae Beach has a whole lot going on in the evening too. Busan’s beaches at night provide some of the best evening entertainment.

From beachside bars to the cool coffee shops of Haeridan-gil and the nocturnal delights and street food bites of Haeundae Traditional Market, there is much to enjoy in Haeundae Beach once the sun has gone down.

Some of our favourite craft beer bars in Busan at night include:

Galmegi Brewing (multiple Busan brewery taprooms)

A Busan brewery born and bred, Galmegi Brewing started life almost 10 years ago in 2014 as a small microbrewery pub.

Galmegi Brewing now has several taproom and craft beer bar locations in Busan including Haeundae Beach, Gwangalli Beach, Seomyeon and Nampo – late night bites including Detroit style pizza are available to enjoy with your beers.

Gorilla Brewing Busan

Gorilla Brewing is a Busan based British craft beer brewery with two locations open until late at night – Haeundae Beach and this Gwangalli Beach taproom.

Gorilla Brewing Gwangalli Beach has a huge brewery taproom with around 20 different craft beers on tap – as well regular craft beer styles like dark lager and IPAs. It is open daily until midnight; cheers!

If you aren’t sure what to have, you can try a tasting tray of several beers plus free prawn crackers are provided – alternatively, their bar menu includes damn fine Korean fried chicken.

Abnormal Taphouse and Cantina, Haeundae

An ‘Abnormally’ good place to visit in Busan at night, Abnormal Tap House & Cantina is a good way to spend the evening after a day on Haeundae Beach or doing coastal walks.

Located literally just a few yards away from the beach, Busan’s Abnormal Taproom has 12 taps plus free popcorn – so ‘pop’ along to Busan’s Haeundae Beach in the evening.

5. SPA LAND Centum City

Located in the Shinsegae Department Store Centum City, this is an authentic South Korean spa and sauna experience which stays open in the evening. Spa Land Centum uses hot spring water full of sodium bicarbonate, which is pulled up from underground wells.

There are almost 20 different hot springs and 13 theme spas to choose from including the Ice Room and Pyramid Steam Room. We recently visited Spa Land Centum as part of the ‘Visit Busan’ pass – find out more about it here >

6. Gwangalli Beach

One of the best beaches in both Busan and South Korea, Gwangalli Beach is a sandy shore stretching almost 1.5km along the Busan coastline – whilst a great place for sunbathing or coastal walks by day, Gwangalli Beach comes alive at night.

Along the seafront at Gwangalli Beach, there are numerous bars, pubs and restaurants looking out over the water. At night, you can also enjoy the Gwangan Bridge light show from the beach plus the weekly Gwangalli M drone show every Saturday (more on this in a mo).

Gwangandaegyo Bridge in Gwangalli Beach is one ‘lit’ bridge – literally, Gwangandaegyo Bridge (AKA Gwangan Bridge) has the world’s largest set of LED lights and thumping sound equipment; it shines so bright it has been nicknamed Busan’s Diamond Bridge.

South’s Korea’s sublime suspension bridge in Busan is the second longest bridge in South Korea (after Incheon Bridge in Seoul) and spans over 7 km (one BIG bridge – and ‘daegyo‘ literally means ‘big bridge’ in Korea).

Gwangan Bridge in Busan lights up every evening, with different times depending on the year. Generally, Gwangan Bridge becomes a beacon of light every evening from sunset until the early hours (usually 1am on weekdays and until 2am on weekends and public holidays).

Around 40 cabins (of which a dozen are totally transparent) run back and forth over the ocean on a 2 km line, from Songdo Beach (Songrim Park) to Amnam Park with lots of themed attractions to enjoy.

Overlooking the harbor at Gwangalli Beach with huge bay windows facing towards the ocean and Millak Port, Millac the Market is a modern food market that opened in 2022 on the site of the old fish market.

Thousands flock to Millak Waterside Park to see the Gwangalli sunset every evening (it can accommodate up to 40,000 people) and you’ll find benches, shade huts, flower gardens and a colorful pathway with rainbow blocks – you can even dip your toes in the ocean at high tide.

16. Haedong Yonggungsa Temple AKA the Busan temple by the sea

A short bus ride from Haeundae Beach, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is described as the most beautiful temple in Korea (well so says the sign on the wall).

Incredibly popular (especially with coach groups), the original temple was built in the 14th century but later destroyed by bombing and rebuilt in the 1930s.

Haedong Yonggungsa Temple looks out over the sea and is open until 8pm most evenings, meaning it is a unique way to ‘sea’ in..sorry see in the sunset over the ocean in Busan.

17. Lotte World Adventure Busan

Busan’s biggest and newest theme park and following in the footsteps of Lotte Adventure World in Seoul, Lotte World Adventure Busan opened in 2022.

21. Pojangmacha food stalls in Seomyeon at night

Head to the night-life district of Seomyeon in Busan at night to enjoy an epicurean experience in these street-tents, open until the wee small hours.

All manner of South Korean street food is served in these Pojangmacha food stalls plus alcoholic beverages like soju and beer. Given Busan’s proximity to the coast, seafood pojangmacha stalls are popular – chicken and pork trotters are other typical Korean dishes available.

Pojangmacha food stalls in Seomyeon Busan at night

Such is there popularity, these late night Busan stalls often appear in Korean dramas and TV programmes – they are also popular in Jeju and Seoul.

There is a dedicated street in Busan nicknamed Seomyeon Pojangmacha Street (just to the rear of the Lotte Hotel Busan) where these types of stalls are set up from the early evening (usually around 5pm to 6pm).

A word of caution – sometimes the prices aren’t displayed at Pojangmacha food stalls or if they are, they might be based on weight, not per dish so make sure you know what you are buying.

Located in Lotte Hotel Busan, Seven Luck casino is a late night Seomyeon venue and gambling palace that is only able to be used by overseas visitors to Busan. The casino is open 24 hours a day and there is a bar and restaurant area.

Unlike say Las Vegas or Macau, gambling isn’t that big in South Korea with only a handful of casinos operating in the country. Games available at Seven Luck Casino include Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat and Tai Sai plus over 100 slot machines.

26. Busan Games Arcades

Love some night-time gaming? Some of the best places for games arcades in Busan are Seomyeon, Gwangalli Beach, BIFF Square / Nampo and Haeundae.

A very ‘amusing’ thing to do with kids in Busan or at night, Seomyeon has the best choice of Busan late night arcades, including an Alice in Wonderland themed branch of Zzang Games.

Most Seomyeon arcades have at least two floors of amusement arcade games, from air hockey to video games, claw machines to driving simulators.

We dropped by to play the Japanese Namco Bandai drumming game ‘Taiko no Tatsujin’ (Master of the Drums) – so much fun!

Open until the early hours, the games arcades in Jeonpo and Seomyeon are free admission with games charged individually.

27. Haeundae Pojangmacha-chon (Haeundae Food Cart Village)

In addition to Haeundae Traditional Market, the other brilliant Busan late-night place to eat seafood in an unusual setting is the Haeundae Pojangmacha-chon.

Essentially, this is a small area of seafood stalls in tents that opens at night right on Haeundae Beach.

Drink soju, beer and makgeolli until the wee small hours as the kindly Korean ladies (‘Ajummas) create incredible stews and fish dishes.

The fish and street food stalls at Haeundae Pojangmacha-chon are generally open from around 5 pm until late (some remain open until 2am but many shut around 11pm to midnight).

Try this – Korean home cooking in Haeundae Beach >

28. Seomyeon Food Alley

Seomyeon Food Alley can be found hidden away in the back streets behind Seomyeon Metro Station and comes alive at night.

Lots of Korean restaurants offer a variety of South Korean foods, including knife-cut noodles and Jokbal, a speciality Busan dish of braised pig trotters – there is even a dedicated area in Seomyeon called Jokbal Alley.

Other dishes to try whilst in Seomyeon Food Alley include tteokbokki and deep fried pajeon (Korean pancakes). It is also a popular place to enjoy soju and rice wine.

29. Go Shooting at night

After a busy day of shopping, go shooting – it might be time to relieve some stress in Busan! You might be surprised to hear that amongst all the stores and street-food, there is a very popular shooting range in Seomyeon called Busan Real Shooting Club which is busy in the evenings.

Similar to the shooting ranges you find in Ikseon-dong and Hongdae in Seoul, these are popular indoor shooting galleries where you fire at targets. However, in Busan, you can fire real live bullets. Assistants will train you on how to fire a gun if you’re a novice and you can try different types of weapons.

Busan Shooting Club is popular with the younger crowds who often hold mini competitions in groups to see who is the sharpest shooter.

30. Olive Young Busan

The K-beauty shop Olive Young has become so well known all over the world that many flock to Busan and Seoul with empty suitcases just to fill them up with ‘miraculous’ moisturisers or blinged body scrubs.

BIFF Square and Seomyeon at night are a super shopping destination if you are looking for some skincare products and the newest K-beauty trends.

There are several flagship K-beauty shops to check out in the neighbourhood but perhaps the best known is Olive Young, whose Gwangbok store overlooks the food stalls on BIFF Square and is open until 10:30pm every night.

From beauty masks to chemical peels, bath bombs to hair dye, Olive Young is your one stop K-beauty shop.

31. Seomyeon Samjung Tower

Seomyeon is not short on shopping malls (there are ‘LOTTE’ of them etc!), but one of the best is the Seomyeon Samjung Tower, a modern metropolis with brands such an Olive Young, Starbucks, Animate and even a huge Uniqlo in the basement.

It is open until 10:30pm and has bars, restaurants, e-gaming and a massive CGV cinema.

Samjung Tower shopping center in Busan has over 13 themed floors including the Fun Zone on level 9, local food street on level 5, a CGV cinema on levels 11 through 13 plus the Busan E-Sports Arena on the top floor.

We particularly liked the Q Lounge food and drink area on floor 8 of Seomyeon Samjung Tower, as it has some rather stylish bars (like the Sol Tap House), several open plan restaurants and even an art gallery.

32. 7-Eleven & CU Convenience stores

7-Eleven in Busan is big business – there are now over 11,000 (!) 7-Eleven stores in South Korea. In fact, worldwide, only Thailand and Japan have more 7-Elevens than South Korea. Or try CU Convenience Stores which we actually prefer, because the fresh section is better.

Most (but not all) convenience stores in Busan are open 24 hours so if you want a late night snack or oodles of instant noodles, 7-Eleven or CU are the best place to cure your midnight munchies (or GS25 is you are desperate).

From banana milk to bento boxes and fried chicken to fruit sandwiches, read our guide to all the food you can buy at night in South Korea’s 7 Eleven stores or CU stores.

Our final thing to do in Busan at night

33. Dadaepo Sunset Fountain of Dreams

Music and water in the evening – children will love this free night time activity in Busan, especially splashing in the fountains.

Dadaepo Sunset Fountain of Dreams is a musical fountain set-up with lots of LED lights and K-pop tunes that usually runs from April to October.

We’d rate Dadaepo Beach as one of the best 5 beaches in Busan >
