Entertainment in Hoi An

  1. A

    Before & Now

    An energetic bar that’s good for its pop-rock-funk playlist, Milan-trained chef and buzzing crowd. If you run out of conversation topics, contemplate the ramifications of Bono-as-Superman, as depicted on one of local artist Tran Trung Linh’s pop-art portraits on the walls (the eclectic mix includes Lenin, Mao, Che, Marilyn and Gandhi).

    Treat’s Café

    The backpacker bar of old Hoi An, this place is regularly full to bursting, particularly during its generous 4pm to 9pm happy hour.

    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’.

    Tam Tam Cafe

    Set in a lovingly restored tea warehouse, this cool hang-out indulges in comfortable tropical decor and plenty of lounge space upstairs. The outdoor seating is good for people-watching, while the scene is livelier around the pool table and the balcony.

    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.

    Lounge Bar

    Just along the road from Tam Tam, this is a stylish conversion of an ancient house with a huge drinks menu. Out back are cushions and a chill-out area.

    Re-Treat Café

    Recreates Treat's recipe in the newer part of town, 'same same but better'. Not quite, but saves a walk if you're staying here.
