Koreatown Pub Serving Soju in a Hollowed Watermelon Until Late
Ladle watermelon sawa in a second floor room with soju cap ceilings, open until 5 AM on Friday and Saturday.
🍉 Pass The Ladle
Pocha 32 gives your Koreatown night a centerpiece that arrives with its own rind. The Korean pub serves fresh soju from a hollowed watermelon, with a ladle ready for pouring. Its watermelon sawa mixes Sprite, fruit purée, and soju, turning the drink into the center of a table of Korean bar bites.
A K pop soundtrack runs through the colorful room, where the ceiling is decorated with soju bottle caps. Melon soju is another option for sharing. This is an energetic room, and service can be slow and spotty. Keep that pace in mind when planning a stop here, rather than squeezing the pub between tightly timed plans.
Head to the second floor at 15 W 32nd St for the watermelon ritual. Doors open daily at five PM, with closing at two AM on Sunday through Wednesday, three AM on Thursday, and five AM on Friday and Saturday.
