Da Nang's Best Nightlife

There's an increasingly diverse mix of places to spend great evenings in the city—including beach bars, brew pubs, cocktail bars, and live music venues. Here is MAKARA's hand-picked list of some of the best nightlife in Da Nang. 

Maia (284 Võ Nguyên Giáp)

An outdoor bar that blends natural bamboo materials and artful design with wave-side lounge vibes. Relaxed and chill during the day, but more of a party scene at night with DJs.

Dirty Fingers (406 Võ Nguyên Giáp)

A Tex-Mex BBQ and bar that brings real American spirit to the table. Expect quality smoked meats, comfort food, and sports bar energy in a sprawling, casual layout. Frequently has live music and attracts a large local expat crowd.

East West Brewing (1A Võ Nguyên Giáp)

A beachfront microbrewery that’s quickly become a local and tourist favorite for its house-crafted beer and breezy coastal design. Spacious patio seating, a large food menu, and DJs some nights.

Bunker Da Nang (31 An Thượng 2)

A cocktail hideaway on a walking street in An Thuong, with plenty of Vietnam War–era nostalgia and classic cocktails. It offers atmospheric comfort with bartenders who lean into both craft and concept. Often has live music.

Gypsy Rooftop Restaurant & Bar (20 Đống Đa)

Perched atop the New Orient Hotel, this Mediterranean-leaning rooftop bar has sweeping views of the city. Expect elevated cuisine, a stylish drink list (including a good wine program), and an airy, design-conscious setting.

MAKARA Bar | Tiki Speakeasy (162a Nguyễn Chí Thanh)

Hidden in plain sight, Makara is a tiki bar reimagined through Vietnamese history and culture. An intimate, decor-rich escape with friendly staff, curated music, and creative tropical cocktails (and mocktails) that tell local tales in every sip.

Brew-Ha-Ha Taproom (16 Thái Phiên)

The taproom for Da Nang’s 5 Elements Brewing, this is the craft-beer and regional-flavor rendezvous in the heart of Da Nang. Relaxed indoor/outdoor setting, inventive brews, and a hearty bar food progam to match. Attracts lots of Vietnamese locals.

The 1920’s Lounge (53 Trần Quốc Toản)

A plush Prohibition-style cocktail lounge focused on live music, with a refined but relaxed vibe. Think dimmed lights, jazz bands, classic cocktails, and the sort of clubby ambiance where stories and drinks flow easily.

Section 30 (An Thượng 30)

A festive open-air beer bar with a great selection of Vietnamese craft brews, a comfort food menu, and a strong live music program.
