Pocha 32

"Whether you’re a K-town veteran or a relative newcomer, the green fishnet with fairy lights reinforces the fun easygoing vibe. Its watermelon sawa (hollow watermelon half filled with soju, fruit puree and ice) went viral — and rightfully so. Pair it with some great anju (drinking foods) like seafood pancak, ramyeon, and tteokbokki." - Caroline Shin

"While karaoke often involves plenty of drinks and some ill-advised boy band dance moves, it rarely involves food. So after an encore performance of “Backstreet’s Back” at a karaoke spot in K-Town, get a late meal at Pocha 32 (open until at least 2am every night). You won’t be the only ones here, and many of the tables in the second-floor space will be topped with hollowed-out watermelons filled with soju. Share one of these and definitely get the budae jjigae, a big metal cauldron of ramen stew loaded with spam, rice cakes, kimchi, and hot dogs." - team infatuation

"Koreatown is one big outdoor dining party. A lot of the spots on this stretch have coverings, including one of our favorite places to drink soju, Pocha 32. Stop by and get a hollowed-out watermelon full of soju in addition to a big metal cauldron of ramen stew loaded with spam, rice cakes, kimchi, and hot dogs." - Hannah Albertine

"Pocha 32 is a party spot where we’ve historically enjoyed soju cocktails from a hollowed-out watermelon. Bring a few friends to this Korean spot’s outdoor area to try the budae jjigae,a big metal cauldron of ramen stew loaded with spam, rice cakes, kimchi, and hot dogs." - Hannah Albertine

This one is less hip, but honestly still pretty good, like the other ones, it's as much meant for drinking as it is for eating, and not in a bad way!
