near Texas Street and Busan Station

Located across from Busan Station, Texas street is a sleazy area of Russian bar-girls. The street runs several hundred meters and has many bars, small hotels, and shops. This is a dirty and somewhat dangerous areas as it is frequented by rough-and-tumble sailors and soldiers out for a good time.

My favorite place in Busan/ haeundae beach to be more accurate is rock n roll bar its located in haeundae right above burger king right across from the beach, it was beautiful views and on the weekends it had great drink specials. it has 2 pool tables and a ping pong table, which is my favorite part to play beer pong or whatever you like to play. the staff is great its a hot spot for westerners and koreans.

Its right down the street from Novahotel

If you walk down the street about 500m you'll hit another bar U2 which is another great place to drink and if you go right when you hit U2 bar about another 500m you'll end up at Club maktum which is a great dance clubs that place a mixture of songs and located close to Club Elune which is also a great club similar to Maktum, All in all haeundae beach is a great place in busan to have a great time

The "Basement" is a small venue, but nice nonetheless. It is a typical hangout of both locals and foreigners. They have live music typically on Fridays and Saturdays.

Following the map that is linked below, it is a ~8 minute walk from the PNU subway stop.

Dress Code: Dress code is completely casual.

PIFF SQUARE & TEXAS STREET

3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Piff Square

The area has many bars, singing rooms, night clubs, and restaurants that stay open late, so many people head here before or after catching a movie. The trendier shops also stay open to cater to the younger generation crowd. Many street vendors serve snacks and drinks

Texas Street is to Busan what Itaewon-dong is to Seoul. Located near the harbor and Busan train station, many stores here cater to foreigners, selling blankets, hand bags, shoes, clothes, and leather goods. During its popularity as a red light district for military men based in Busan or passing through, it was called Texas Street due to the image of Texas in America as a wild, frontier area.

Soemyeon Area

Ewingjr98 4734 reviews

Soemyeon is a very popular area for Busan residents for nightclubs, bars, restaurants, and shopping. My favorite nightclubs are New York, New York and Hollywood, but there are many others. I have eaten at a few good restaurants in Soemyeon including a Japanese restaurant on the corner just down the block from NY, NY. Soemyeon also boasts the ritzy Lotte Hotel with rooms around 200,000 won a night.

New York, New York is a very popular nightclub located in Busan's Soemyeon area. It is a huge room, with a long rectangle bar, and a modest dance floor. NY, NY stays open until the wee hours of the morning. Word is that NY, NY is now Korean-only, but you should be able to get in if you are a Westerner with Korean friends.

Hollywood Club is located across the street from New York, New York in Soemyeon. It has a similar layout to NY, NY, just a little smaller and darker.

Busan club

A classy place to have a night out. Everything you would expect for a hotel bar inthe Marriot. Great place to and have a few drinks and get away. A little pricey but atmosphere seems to be nice!

Dress Code: Even right near the beach, no shorts or tank tops.

The Basement: The Basement

amambaw 176 reviews

The Basement is a funky little spot in the PNU area. It is located in the same building as Crossroads, Busan's infamous foreigner chill out spot. The Basement has a very different atmosphere, very cool, great music (think Roots, Beastie Boys, and other hip hop or R&B), and a decent drink menu. If you visit on Friday or Saturday night, you'll find tons of expats chilling, and very few military types. There is internet available in the corner!

Chilling with my students!

Crossroads is a great place to just chill with friends. The atmosphere is very laid back and tempers never seem to flare here. Located in the PNU area, this little club will see a healthy mix of locals and expats on any given night. The music is usually folky or old rock/pop, such as John Lennon, Janis Joplin and Bob Marley, along with contemporaries like Dave Matthews and the like. There aren't many seats in the house, so if you prefer to sit and chill, get there early. Lots of opportunities to mingle here. There is internet available. Usually, there is live music on Saturday nights, and drink specials all week.
