The encore just ended, the crowd is pouring out of Goyang Sports Complex, and you're not quite ready to go home. This guide is for that moment — where to find a relaxed drink nearby in Ilsan's La Festa, how to get there, and what to order once you sit down.
Where do you go for a drink after Goyang Stadium?
The short answer: head to La Festa in Ilsan. It's the most walkable cluster of bars and restaurants near the stadium, so instead of chasing scattered spots you get one lively street to choose from. A few reasons it works after an event:
- It's compact — an open-air pedestrian strip where restaurants, cafes and bars sit side by side, so you can wander until something feels right.
- It's still busy late — concerts and matches let out at odd hours, and La Festa keeps its energy well into the night.
- Easy to reach — it's built around Jeongbalsan Station, so you're never far from transport home.
In other words, it's the kind of place where a post-event drink doesn't take any planning.
How do you get from Goyang Sports Complex to La Festa?
The simplest route is toward Jeongbalsan Station on Subway Line 3, which sits right at La Festa's doorstep. From the stadium you can hop on the subway or grab a short taxi ride in that direction; either way La Festa is an easy trip rather than a trek.
Once you're at Jeongbalsan, take exit 2 and walk into the La Festa strip. It's a bright, open street at night, so it's easy to find your way even if it's your first time. If you're aiming for a specific bar, AZIT is in La Festa's F building, unit 121, beside the central stage — about 675m from that exit.
✦ Quick tip
Big events empty out all at once, so taxi lines and platforms get crowded for a while. Drifting over to La Festa for a drink first lets the rush thin out before you head home.
Is La Festa good whether you're solo or with a small group?
Both work. Ilsan has a strong honsul (solo-drinking) culture, and its bars are set up so a single guest never feels out of place. That same setup is handy after a show, whether you came alone or with one or two friends:
- Bartenders greet you, point you to a seat and ask what you're in the mood for — no awkward hovering over a menu.
- Shared U-shaped tables mean a solo guest and a small group can sit comfortably in the same room, and it's easy to strike up a chat.
- Some spots keep light icebreakers around — balance-game cards, a novelty "lie detector" — which turns a random night out into a fun one.
- And if you'd rather just decompress, nursing one drink in a corner while the music plays is completely normal here.

Why do the late hours matter after a concert?
Because events rarely end on a tidy schedule. An encore runs long, a match goes to extra time, and suddenly it's late and half the neighborhood is closing up. That's exactly when a bar with real late hours earns its keep.
AZIT, for instance, runs from 8pm until 3am every day, and until 4am on Fridays and Saturdays — so there's no scramble to arrive before last call. You can take your time getting out of the stadium, let the crowd thin, and still settle in for an unhurried drink.
What should you order once you sit down?
There's no wrong answer, but a couple of easy moves after a long night on your feet:
- Not sure what you want → tell the bartender "something light and refreshing" and let them pick. That's the whole point of a small owner-run bar.
- Ease in → a highball or a fruity cocktail is the classic post-event choice — cold, easy, celebratory.
- Curious about whisky → try a single glass on the rocks. It's smoother than you'd expect and kinder the next morning.
- Not drinking tonight → non-alcoholic options are on the menu too, so no one at the table is left out.
And since outside food is allowed at AZIT, the chicken or snacks you grabbed on the way over are welcome company for your drink.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I get a drink near Goyang Stadium after a concert?
The easiest place to unwind is Ilsan's La Festa district, a compact strip of restaurants and bars a short ride from Goyang Sports Complex. It has plenty of late-night spots, so you can keep the night going after an event. AZIT, a small bar in La Festa's F building, is one example, with U-shaped shared tables that make it easy whether you arrive solo or with a small group.
