Hidden Bars in Da Nang That I Actually Found

"This one blew me away. It’s got tiki vibes but with cool Vietnamese decor, and the whole place is super photogenic. Mostly female bartenders—who are both attractive and also really damn good at what they do. I tried a drink called "The Naughty Monkey" (rum, chocolate, banana, pineapple) and ended up coming back the next night to order it again. For both chill vibe and great drinks, it’s one of the best spots I found."

Makara - Da Nang, Vietnam

"As one would expect, it has some fusion elements and is not trying to clone the Trader Vic or Don the Beachcomber aesthetic. However, it has a number of Tiki features that Westerners would expect -- it is dark and moody with colorful lighting, tiki masks adorn the walls.... They also have a wide variety of tropical drinks on their menu and serve them in a variety of tiki mugs."

THE DOT Magazine (2025)

"Tiki bars and beaches were meant to be together. Even though we’re still downtown, a little distance from the beach, Makara (162a Nguyen Chi Thanh) is keeping the combo alive with their Danang tiki bar. The anonymous entrance underplays the moody vibes inside – a dimly lit tiki bar that’s soaked in Champa culture, or, as they call it, ‘original tiki-Viet style,’ with rooms upstairs, each differently themed, for private sessions fuelled by their tiki-style sweet and sour cocktails – like their Ms. Mai’s Mai-Tai."
