Alcoholic drinks can be found anywhere. But sometimes its the special attractions that draw us in. These include the Best Patio, Sports Bar, View, bartender and DJ. Also the best places to place to hook-up, see fast and cool people, get a quiet drink, and get hammered. Benchwarmer’s Sports Bar – with 80% of our readers in agreement, Ulsan’s Best Sports Bar is the Bench. Sure, there are other sports bars, but being Korean they aren’t likely to play...
