Twelve screens hang around the rooms so every seat has a view of the game, and a bartender with four years of experience mixed a Blue Sapphire cocktail and poured a Jack Daniel's shot with zero-sugar cola into cups that stayed cold for a long time. Open from 9pm until 7am the next morning, The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae works well as a second stop on a night out in Hongdae. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1F, 65 Wawusan-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 21:00 to 07:00 the next day - **Screens**: 12 in total (2 of them on the 2nd floor) - **Things to play**: Darts, beer pong, table football - **Good for**: Groups / drinking alone - **What we drank**: Blue Sapphire (likely) cocktail, Jack Daniel's shot + zero-sugar cola - **Smoking**: Only outside the venue *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* When I want to have a fun time drinking with friends in Hongdae, I tend to look for a place with more atmosphere than a regular bar — especially on days when there's a match to cheer on together, like soccer or baseball, a sports pub just fits better. This time, while passing through Hongdae's club street, The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae caught my eye. Its hip vibe matched the energy of central Hongdae, and the sheer size of the place grabbed my attention right away 👍 ## Where is The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae, and what are the hours? The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae is a large sports pub on 1F, 65 Wawusan-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, in Hongdae's club street area. It's open daily from 21:00 to 07:00 the next day, and works for both group visits and solo drinking. - 📍Location: 1F, 65 Wawusan-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 🕖Hours: Daily 21:00 – 07:00 the next day - ✔️Good for groups / solo drinking First of all, the space itself is quite spacious. You'd usually picture a sports pub as a small place with tables crammed together, but The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae is large overall, so it looked like a good fit even for a bigger group of friends. ![Entrance view of The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae on Hongdae's club street](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-01-py6fa-m-900.webp) There's a menu out front too, so you can pick what you feel like drinking before heading in, right? ![Drinks menu displayed outside The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-02-2g8pd-900.webp) ![Menu board at The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-03-c02y4-900.webp) ## 12 screens: can you see the game from every seat? What stood out the moment I walked in was the large screen and the multiple monitors around the place — The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae has 12 screens in total, arranged so you can comfortably watch the game no matter where you sit 👍👍👍👍👍 ![Large screen and multiple monitors installed on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-04-11r1n-900.webp) You know how sometimes you go watch a match and the screen is small, or only faces one direction so you have to keep twisting your neck? Here you can check the screens from all over the place, which is great for a group of friends who can each watch from whichever seat is comfortable 🥳 ![First floor seating with screens visible from multiple angles](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-05-sz1jk-900.webp) ![Interior of The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae's hall with screens visible](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-06-or4g3-m-900.webp) So it's great for cheering on soccer or baseball with friends, and it also suits anyone looking for a large sports pub in Hongdae to take a foreign friend to. ![Neatly arranged tables and lighting in the sports pub](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-07-1xbjr-900.webp) The place is clean and pleasant too, giving off just the right hip mood for a drink. ## Darts, beer pong and table football when no match is on The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae also has games you can actually play with friends, like darts, beer pong, and table football. Personally, I think the charm of a sports pub isn't just about watching a match. ![Dart machine at The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-08-rxu7e-m-900.webp) ![Beer pong table for friends to play](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-09-14pct-900.webp) ![Table football machine set up in the pub](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-10-3g1ut-900.webp) There are games set up on the second floor as well — darts are good for before a match starts or during a break, and if you're with a group, beer pong is a great way to naturally get the mood going 🥳 ![Games area set up on the second floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-11-1phzn-900.webp) ![View of the game area on the second floor of The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-12-1wip3-1200.webp) Especially when visiting Hongdae with foreign friends, a lot of people prefer this kind of sports pub over a more traditionally Korean bar — being able to enjoy games and sports together makes it easy to spend time without any pressure 👍 ![Interior of the pub where games and sports can be enjoyed together](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-13-1raqx-900.webp) Having things to watch and things to do, rather than just sitting and drinking, definitely felt like an advantage. ## The private 2nd-floor space for group gatherings The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae's 2nd floor also has a slightly more private space, which looked good not just for hanging out with friends but as a venue for group parties or gatherings with more people. ![Private second-floor seating good for group gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-14-sv9qj-900.webp) Since the place is so large, it was also nice that there are several different types of seating. And of course, the second floor also has two screens for watching sports, ![Sports broadcast screen installed on the second floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-15-svqui-900.webp) and you can look down over the first floor from up there too 👍 ![View of the first floor hall from the second floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-16-bm8jk-900.webp) ![Wide view of the spacious first floor seen from the second floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-17-ncr67-900.webp) When you make plans with a group in Hongdae, the bigger the group gets, the harder it is to find a seat — so just having this much space is genuinely convenient. I thought this would be a great place to visit for a birthday party with friends, for a special night out with foreign friends in Hongdae, or when you all want to gather and cheer on a match together. ## Blue Sapphire cocktail and a Jack Daniel's shot with zero-sugar cola At The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae you can enjoy a wide variety of cocktails and draft beer! Drinks and snacks are of course essential at any sports pub. ![Bar counter set up with cocktails and draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-18-w4knk-900.webp) I heard a bartender with four years of experience makes the cocktails and handles the draft beer tempering himself, which seemed like it would appeal to anyone who loves a proper bar atmosphere! ![Bartender mixing a cocktail](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-19-onpx4-900.webp) When you're not sure what to order, he's happy to recommend a cocktail. I think it was called Blue Sapphire — genuinely refreshing and sweet, the kind of cocktail that wins women over. And then there was a Jack Daniel's shot with zero-sugar cola! ![Recommended Blue Sapphire cocktail](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-20-ow78s-900.webp) ![Jack Daniel's shot paired with zero-sugar cola](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-21-1ggzp-900.webp) A nice touch was that the drinks came in cups that keep things cold for a long time! ![Drink served in a cup that stays cold for a long time](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-22-14oaw-900.webp) Sipping a cold draft beer while watching a match is great, but if you want to go for a bit more atmosphere, choosing a cocktail works well too! The mix of Hongdae's free-spirited, lively energy with the pub's casual vibe made it easy to blend in even on a first visit. ![Lively table atmosphere at the Hongdae sports pub](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-23-ju83o-m-900.webp) ![Clean interior of The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails-24-8oxn6-900.webp) Of course, smoking is only allowed outside. I liked how clean the interior was, and with those big screens, it made me hope I might get to watch South African rugby here someday. With a free-spirited atmosphere, a clean space, and good drinks all together, there's really no reason not to visit! ## Is The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae worth a late-night stop? - ✔️A sizeable sports pub you can find right on Hongdae's club street - ✔️12 large screens mean you can watch sports comfortably from anywhere in the place - ✔️Cocktails and draft beer from a bartender with four years of experience - ✔️Plenty to do — darts, beer pong, table football — so you can play games together and enjoy the vibe - ✔️Above all, the place is spacious with a private space on the 2nd floor, good for anything from small get-togethers to group parties If you're looking for a sports pub in Hongdae or want a different kind of night out with friends, The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae — where you can watch a match, enjoy the pub atmosphere, and play games all at once — is worth checking out 👍 ## Where it is - The Pub Sports Pub Hongdae (더펍 스포츠펍 홍대) - 1F, 65 Wawusan-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 와우산로 65 1층 - 37.5504115, 126.9228866 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8D%94%ED%8E%8D%20%EC%8A%A4%ED%8F%AC%EC%B8%A0%ED%8E%8D%20%ED%99%8D%EB%8C%80/@37.5504115,126.9228866,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@plates-and-glasses/hongdae-sports-pub-screens-cocktails/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
