As evening falls in Seoul, the city comes alive with friends gathering over sizzling Korean barbecue, soju, and beer—a convivial drinking culture you can now experience at Pocha Bar by Fire Fox at Andaz Bali, Sanur.

Evenings in South Korea have a rhythm all their own. Rather than slowing down after work, the city slips into a different kind of energy. Side streets and bustling restaurants fill with friends and colleagues sharing hearty meals, clinking glasses of soju and beer, and stretching conversations long after the sun has set. Now, that after-hours ritual has arrived in Bali.

Located within Fire Fox at Village Square, Andaz Bali has introduced Pocha Bar by Fire Fox, a new dining concept inspired by South Korea's iconic pojangmacha, better known simply as pocha. These casual street-side establishments have long been a cornerstone of Korean social life, offering comfort food, affordable drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere where the night is never in a hurry to end.

Bringing that same spirit to Sanur, Pocha Bar offers a relaxed setting for everything from post-work drinks and casual catch-ups to leisurely evenings with family and friends. The atmosphere is lively, inviting guests to settle in, order another round, and enjoy the simple pleasure of sharing good food.

No Korean night out would be complete without Somaek (소맥), the country's beloved combination of soju and beer. A staple of Korean drinking culture, the refreshing mix, its name derived from so (soju) and maekju (beer), has become synonymous with celebrations, after-work gatherings, and spontaneous nights that stretch well beyond dinner. At Pocha Bar, it's the perfect companion to the menu of bold, shareable dishes.

Among the highlights is the Foxy Bossam Set for Two, where tender braised pork belly is paired with fresh oysters, radish kimchi, lettuce, and ssamjang, encouraging diners to assemble each bite the traditional Korean way. Equally tempting is the Galbi Smashed Burger, a playful fusion of Korean flavours featuring marinated minced beef layered with melted cheddar cheese.

While Pocha Bar introduces a fresh late-night dining concept to Sanur, it also complements Hansik Korean BBQ, Andaz Bali's existing Korean dining destination. Together, the two venues offer guests a broader glimpse into Korean food culture, from interactive barbecue feasts to the charm of Seoul's late-night streets.

Open daily from 5 pm to 11 pm, Pocha Bar offers something different from the typical evening out in Bali. Whether stopping by for a quick drink, sharing comfort food with friends, or winding down after a day of exploring Sanur, guests can expect an experience centered on good company, generous flavours, and the unhurried pace that defines Korea's cherished after-hours tradition.
