Those who come to Ulsan are predominantly here to work for the large conglomerates or heavy industries Hyundai Motors being one of the most notable and to teach English as a foreign language. Old down-town, Seongnamdong, is good for shopping at low, local prices there are brand goods shops too however. Ulsan Nightlife Ulsan nightlife is still Ok and various as they are so many foreign expats and teachers work in Ulsan. If your are out for fun in Ulsan, go to some korean clubs or bars in old downtown or the new downtown.
The two mentioned bars here are just for teachers. As there is thousands of other expats in Ulsan - and if you are one of them, I recommend to stay away from these two lame holes and instead just pick any other. These are the two main bars for foreign teachers and some brave Korean teachers in Ulsan.
Great food, great atmosphere. Large screen TVs and foosball at each, Tombstone has a pool table, Bench has darts. Bench has open mic every Wednesday night, which is great fun.
