Vietnam Nightlife

Hanoi Nightlife

Ho Chi Minh City Nightlife

Ho Chi Minh City’s entertainment industry is growing fast, though it’s still not a city for round-the-clock entertainment – most places close soon after midnight. But what’s available is quality fun. Read More...

Hue Nightlife

Nightlife in Hue can hardly be described as scintillating. It's been said that the raciest thing about it is when the police show up and the illegal street vendors disappear like dust into thin air.  Read More...

Mui Ne & Phan Thiet Nightlife

Mui Ne and Phan Thiet are small towns, so most visitors know they should not expect anything very sophisticated in the way of nightlife, yet most holidaymakers still find there is enough in the way of entertainment to keep boredom at bay.

The most popular hangouts tend to be the bars run by expats, such as Jibes. Others worth checking out include Beach Break (Tel: +84 [0] 62 384 7032) in Phan Thiet, which has lively music; Mellow, also in Phan Thiet (Tel: +84 [0] 62 374 3086), where new faces and backpackers tend to assemble; Wax (Tel: +84 [0] 62 384 7001) and Sand Dollar (Tel: +84 [0] 62 384-7409) in Phan Thiet which both have great music.

Pogo Bar (Tel: +84 [0] 90 62 947 9346 ) at 138 Nguyen Dinh Chieu, Phan Thiet, which has pool tables and is popular with kite-boarders. Pogo donates part of its profits to a charity for Vietnamese children, so a drink here can also give you a warm moral glow.

Dalat is famous for its rich colonial atmosphere as well as for having many great natural sites. It might, however, be lacking slightly in its nightlife but if visitors really want to enjoy themselves they can definitely find quite a few interesting establishments at the more up-market venues. Among them are Larry's Bar and Le Rabelais Bar, both are located in the Dalat Palace Hotel. Read More...

Phu Quoc Island Nightlife

Night time in Phu Quoc is as relaxed as any other, the whole island is a place to just chill out and enjoy the scenery and after dark is no exception – the hypnotic lights from the quid boats at see are so numerous they look like a galaxy. Nightlife invariably follows this pattern; cocktails at sunset, dinner at a beachside restaurant followed by a few drinks at a beach bar.  Read More...

Vung Tau and Con Dao Island Nightlife

Vung Tau is a lot more commercialized compared to the Con Dao Islands and there's a lot more to do in the mainland town.
