How Nha Trang's nightlife zones break down
The main drag for nightlife, lined with bars, clubs, and hostels. The beach runs parallel, so you’re never more than a minute from the sand. It’s loud, busy, and where most backpackers spend their nights. Hostels here are basic but social, with prices starting at £5.
A side street off Tran Phu with a mix of bars, restaurants, and massage parlours. It’s slightly quieter but still central, with places like Crazy Kim Bar drawing crowds. The street is pedestrian-friendly and well-lit, making it a good alternative if Tran Phu feels too hectic.
A quieter area 3 km north of the city centre, known for its rocky coastline and seafood restaurants. It’s where locals go to escape the tourist crowds, but there are a few hostels and beach bars if you want a slower pace. The sunset views from **Po Nagar Cham Towers** are worth the trip.
Where the hostel pub crawls end up, and where to go on your own
The go-to spot for backpackers on Tran Phu Street. Expect cheap beer (£0.80 during happy hour), pool tables, and a crowd that’s up for anything. It gets packed by 11 PM, with fire dancers on the beach most nights. The vibe is rowdy but inclusive: easy to make friends if you’re travelling solo.
A two-level beach club with DJs, daybeds, and a dance floor right on the sand. Entry is free before midnight, but drinks cost £3–£5. The crowd is a mix of tourists and expats, and it’s one of the few places that stays lively until 2 AM. Dress smart: no flip-flops after 10 PM.
A wild card with a ‘happy pizza’ menu and a bar that stays open until 4 AM. The crowd is mostly backpackers, and the staff organise drinking games and pub crawls. It’s a five-minute walk from Tran Phu Street, so it’s slightly quieter but still central.
A rooftop bar with views over the beach and city. Cocktails cost £4–£6, and there’s a £5 cover charge after 9 PM on weekends. The crowd is older than the backpacker bars, but it’s a good spot for sunset. Happy hour runs from 5–7 PM.
A hostel bar that’s open to the public, with a pool table and a daily happy hour from 6–8 PM. The crowd is a mix of hostel guests and locals, and it’s a solid place to start the night before heading to Tran Phu Street. Beer costs £0.70 during happy hour.
A chilled-out beach bar with bean bags, fire shows, and reggae music. It’s less rowdy than Why Not Bar but still social. Cocktails are £3–£4, and the staff let you bring your own snacks. Open from 4 PM until midnight.
Nha Trang’s only proper nightclub, with EDM, hip-hop, and a dress code (no sandals). Entry is £5 after 11 PM, but it’s worth it if you want a big night out. The crowd is a mix of backpackers and Vietnamese twenty-somethings. Open until 3 AM.
