    Bar Why Not?

    At the end of Ð Pham Ngu Lao is this less-raucous hang-out, also with a pool table. There’s a sensational list of cocktails.

    DMZ Bar

    As popular as ever, this joint’s always abuzz with rocking music, free pool and lively conversation. It serves food till midnight, including the entire menu from Little Italy.

    Nep Café

    An old trombone, a Che poster and a bicycle poking out of an exposed brick wall are just some of the oddments decorating this indie hang-out right across from Christie’s. Live bands play upstairs three times a week.

    River Lounge

    Very cool, very white, very European – this oh-so-chic chill-out spot is more expensive than most, but the views and ambience aren’t like anything else you’ll find in Hoi An. Make the most of it by sprawling out on a daybed upstairs.

    Royal Theatre

    The Royal Theatre began in 1826 and has been rebuilt on its former foundations. During the imperial period it hosted classical opera (tuong), dance and music (nha nhac) performances for the emperor and his guests; today these traditional art forms are performed by the Theatre of Hue Traditional and Royal Arts.

    Bamboo 2 Bar

    This is the kind of comfortable hole-in-the-wall joint where the walls are covered in customers’ drunken scribbles. There’s a busy pool table in the back and a Western food menu.

    Sleepy Gecko

    To escape the tourist circus, there’s no better place than this beach bar–style place on Cam Nam Island, where you can admire the view of Hoi An over an ice-cold beer. The owner, Steve, is there night or day to provide good tunes and good jibes – ask about his very good ‘byke tours’.
