Along Anmok Beach, particularly near the famous Coffee Street, there are numerous cafes that stay open later, some transforming into more relaxed lounge-like spaces in the evening. While not a traditional nightlife district, it's a popular spot for after-dinner drinks with ocean views. Some establishments here offer craft beers and specialty cocktails.

For a more local experience, the area around Wolhwa Street and the traditional markets often has smaller, more intimate eateries and 'pojangmacha' (street food stalls) that operate into the night.
