Overview

Drinking at night in Nha Trang is a smaller map than people expect: almost everything on this list sits within a kilometre of Tran Phu, Nguyen Thien Thuat and Hung Vuong, so two or three places in an evening is a walk. There are five kinds, and picking the kind matters more than picking the name: a rooftop for the view, a beach bar for the late afternoon, a small cocktail room for talking, a club for dancing until it is nearly light, and a lounge that sells the group a table at prices in the millions.

The three best-known places are not on the list below, because each already has its own page here: Sailing Club (the longest-running and busiest beach bar), Skylight (the deck on top of the Havana) and the Louisiane Brewhouse. All three on the Tran Phu strip. This page is the rest, and the rest is where the real differences in hours and atmosphere are.

Opening hours are the most useful axis here, more useful than the scores. Z Beach opens at 7 in the morning: by day it is a café on the sand and only becomes a bar at night; Sky Blu opens at 8. The cocktail rooms start late: Than – The Cave and MiJack at 18:00–19:00, MEDUZA from midday. The latest closing is Next Level at 4:00, then Paradise Club, BING DOU and Killed Kenny at 3:00, then a group of four at 2:00. Kisho, the one lounge here, works the other way: it opens at 20:00 and shuts at 01:30. Hotel rooftops run the other way, Altitude shuts at midnight, because it is a hotel bar rather than a club.

On price this page has two worlds, and knowing which is which matters more than anything else here. Kisho Club at 19 Biệt Thự sells tables rather than drinks, at a published 1,200,000–17,000,000₫ a table. That is for the group rather than per person, and the source does not say whether it is a minimum spend or includes bottles, so settle it before reserving. Apart from it, only Ong Buzz Garden publishes a price list, and it is a food one: a grill and seafood menu at 55,000–495,000₫ a dish. Nothing else on the page publishes anything checkable: a cocktail in one of the small rooms costs several times a beer at a beach bar, and a club at the weekend may charge entry. Ask at the door, the same way you would agree a taxi fare before getting in.

Two practical things. First, getting home late is harder than it sounds: between 2 and 4 in the morning a Grab in this area takes a while, so if you plan to stay until closing, stay somewhere in the same quarter, which is where most of the late places sit. The exceptions are Dom out in Phước Hoà, which shuts at 2am well away from the quarter, and The Pumm Central on Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai, which closes earlier but is just as far out; at both, a car at closing time is harder to find. Second, noise runs both ways: a hotel room facing Nguyen Thien Thuat hears the music until 2am, so if you are an early sleeper, read this page as a map of what to avoid.

Same part of the evening: Skylight, karaoke, beer places and late food.

Some shops, with addresses

  • Paradise Club Nha Trang

    Open map

    40 Tran Phu, Nha Trang (opposite the Bon Mua complex)

    4.7 Google · 2,256 reviewsOpen 15:00 – 3:00

    The biggest club here, on the Tran Phu frontage opposite the Bon Mua complex, open from 15:00 and running to 3am. It opens in the afternoon but the club half only really starts after 22:00. Arrive early and it is a large bar with music. Weekends are loud and full; this is not a place for conversation.

  • Altitude Rooftop Bar

    Open map

    Sheraton Nha Trang, 26–28 Tran Phu

    4.8 Google · 2,128 reviewsOpen 15:00 – 0:00

    The Sheraton's rooftop, and the highest of the rooftops here. Open 15:00 to midnight, which makes sunset the hour worth coming for: the view runs the length of the bay and takes in Hon Tre. Being a hotel bar it shuts at midnight and has a dress code; beach sandals are worth changing out of first.

  • Sky Blu Nha Trang

    Open map

    02 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Nha Trang

    4.3 Google · 745 reviewsOpen 8:00 – 0:00

    Open from 8 in the morning to midnight, so a place that runs all day rather than an evening bar. On the corner of Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, close to both the beach and the backpacker streets, which makes it a sensible first stop on a night with several. Less polished than the cocktail rooms here, and that is fair to what it is: large, easy to walk into, not distinctive.

  • Z Beach Nha Trang

    Open map

    96 Tran Phu, Nha Trang

    4.2 Google · 741 reviewsOpen 7:00 – 23:00

    A beach bar on the southern stretch of Tran Phu, and the earliest opening on this page: 7am. By day it works as a café with chairs out on the sand, turning to drinks in the late afternoon. It closes at 23:00, so do not count it into a late night; on the other hand it is the only place here that works for a whole day.

  • Than - The Cave

    Open map

    2nd floor, 124 Nguyen Thien Thuat, Nha Trang

    4.9 Google · 736 reviewsOpen 18:00 – 1:00

    A cocktail room on the first floor at 124 Nguyen Thien Thuat, and the most carefully made cocktail room on this page. Small, dark, music low enough to talk over, open 18:00 to 1:00. Because it is upstairs with no large sign it is easy to walk past; find the house number and take the stairs.

  • BING DOU ROOFTOP

    Open map

    4th floor, Nguyen Thien Thuat, Nha Trang

    4.8 Google · 715 reviewsOpen 19:00 – 3:00

    A fourth-floor rooftop inside the backpacker quarter, open 19:00 and running to 3am. The only rooftop here still open long after the hotel ones have shut. It does not have Altitude's view over the bay; what it has instead is an open roof in the middle of the quarter and a late closing.

  • Next Level Cocktail Club

    Open map

    31A Hung Vuong, Nha Trang

    4.7 Google · 570 reviewsOpen 21:30 – 4:00

    The latest to open and the latest to close on this page: 21:30 to 4am. Turn up before 22:00 and it is nearly empty. This place only means anything after midnight. It is on Hung Vuong, walkable from most hotels in the quarter, which matters when you come out at four in the morning.

  • JD68 Skybar Live music

    Open map

    09 Biet Thu, Nha Trang

    4.9 Google · 374 reviews

    09 Biệt Thự, upstairs, in the middle of the backpacker quarter. The place puts Live music in its own name, which sets it apart from the hotel rooftops on this page, where what is being sold is the view. It publishes no opening hours and no prices. Since it is upstairs with no large sign at street level, the reliable move is to stand below and look up for lights and sound before climbing.

  • MiJack Bar Nha Trang

    Open map

    110 Trinh Phong, Nha Trang

    4.8 Google · 367 reviewsOpen 19:00 – 0:00

    A cocktail room on Trinh Phong, a few streets out of the backpacker quarter. Quieter, with fewer people wandering past. Open 19:00 and closed by midnight, so it is a middle stop in an evening rather than the last one. It is small, so come early at the weekend.

  • MEDUZA — Cocktails & Cuisine

    Open map

    157 Nguyen Thien Thuat, Nha Trang

    4.8 Google · 232 reviewsOpen 12:00 – 2:00

    Open from midday to 2am, with a kitchen rather than only drinks, which makes it the one for a group that has not eaten and does not want to split the evening in two. On the Nguyen Thien Thuat frontage, so easy to find. It is still new, and not yet busy.

  • Ong Buzz Garden

    Open map

    96 Tran Phu, behind the Quinter Central hotel, Nha Trang ward, Khanh Hoa

    Open 10:00 – 2:00

    Open 10:00 until 2am, so it runs all day and then turns into a late bar, closer to Sky Blu than to a club. And it is not purely a bar: its own menu is a full grill and seafood card, from morning glory with garlic at 55,000₫ through pork belly in salt and chilli 85,000₫, prawns and octopus 115,000₫, squid 175,000₫ and grilled sturgeon 255,000₫ up to pomfret 425,000₫ and a whole free-range chicken 495,000₫ (half, 255,000₫). A garden rather than a rooftop, set behind the Quinter Central hotel. The venue's own menu prints its address as 96 Trần Phú; the Z Beach beach bar on this page also carries number 96 on Maps while another source puts it at 90, so do not confuse the two: Z Beach is out on the sand, this is set back. Ong Nhà Mình, a restaurant open 08:00–22:00, shares the address. Call 033 748 6968.

  • The Pumm Central

    Open map

    312 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Nha Trang ward, Khanh Hoa

    Open 17:00 – 1:00

    312 Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai, which puts it well inland rather than on the beach road. This is a large room with a stage and an LED wall running its full width, moving-head lighting and haze machines, rather than a bar on a street front. It runs a DJ and a band, and that is what separates it from most of this page: both happen on the same night instead of one or the other. It also builds nights around dates, a 2 September one for instance, so the evening you walk into may be an event rather than an ordinary night. Open 17:00 to 1am, so it shuts earlier than most of the clubs here. Around 200,000–300,000₫ a head. The thing to plan for is the journey back: this is well away from the quarter, so a car at 1am is harder to find than it would be on Nguyễn Thiện Thuật. The number is 096 401 7768.

  • Kisho Club Nha Trang

    Open map

    19 Biet Thu, P. Nha Trang (Loc Tho former), Khanh Hoa

    Open 20:00 – 1:301,200,000 – 17,000,000₫

    19 Biệt Thự, open 20:00–01:30. This is a different kind of place from most of the page: it sells tables rather than seats, and the published range is 1,200,000–17,000,000₫, the widest of the three lounges here. Opening at 20:00 rather than in the afternoon follows from that. The source does not say whether the figure is a minimum spend or a package including bottles, so settle it before reserving. It is in the backpacker quarter, walkable from Nguyễn Thiện Thuật.

  • HK Club Nha Trang

    Open map

    38 Tran Phu, P. Nha Trang (Loc Tho former), Khanh Hoa

    Open 20:00 – 1:30

    38 Trần Phú, open 20:00–01:30. It used to be called Havana Club, and most Nha Trang bar round-ups still print that name — if you find “Havana Club”, this is it. That address is the Havana hotel, the same building as Skylight on the top floors and a café at ground level. So one building holds three places to drink at three different heights, and this is the one at the bottom: a dance club rather than a viewing deck. It publishes no entry price or minimum spend.

  • Dom Nha Trang

    Open map

    51a Van Don, P. Nha Trang (Phuoc Hoa former), Khanh Hoa

    Open 20:30 – 2:00

    51a Vân Đồn in Phước Hoà, open 20:30–02:00. It opens later than anything else here, at 20:30, and it is the only one out in Phước Hoà rather than on Trần Phú or in the quarter. From the centre you need a vehicle, and finding one at 2am out here is harder than in the quarter. No prices published.

  • Wolpertinger Cocktail Vault

    Open map

    79 To Hien Thanh, P. Nha Trang (Tan Lap former), Khanh Hoa

    Open 18:00 – 2:00

    79 Tô Hiến Thành in Tân Lập, open 18:00–02:00. A cocktail room rather than a club, but it closes like one, at 2am, an hour later than Than – The Cave. It sits just outside the backpacker quarter on Tô Hiến Thành, so it is quieter and gets less passing trade. No prices published.

  • Tê Bê Chilling Cocktail Bar

    Open map

    04 Tran Phu, Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa

    Open 18:00 – 1:00

    04 Trần Phú, open 18:00–01:00. Inside the Mường Thanh building at the northern end of the beach strip. This is a cocktail room you sit down in alone rather than a place that sells tables, which is why it opens at 18:00 instead of waiting until 20:00 as the lounge does. No prices published, but on the evidence of the other cocktail rooms here it is a fraction of the lounge price.

  • Hybrid Nha Trang

    Open map

    51/19/2 Tue Tinh, P. Nha Trang (Loc Tho former), Khanh Hoa

    Open 18:00 – 1:00

    51/19/2 Tuệ Tĩnh in Lộc Thọ, open 18:00–01:00. A three-part house number like that means it is down a branch of an alley with no street frontage, so this is one to map before you set out rather than one you walk past. It belongs with Than – The Cave and Wolpertinger as a cocktail room. No prices published.

  • The Sigma Shisha & Cocktail Lounge

    Open map

    16 Hoang Hoa Tham, P. Nha Trang (Loc Tho former), Khanh Hoa

    16 Hoàng Hoa Thám in Lộc Thọ. This is the first place on the page serving shisha alongside cocktails, and Nha Trang has a further cluster of shisha bars on Nguyễn Thiện Thuật that this site has not written up. On hours the source says only that it is open all day, with no times, so they are unverified and not printed on the card. Call ahead if you plan to arrive early.

  • Killed Kenny Bar

    Open map

    176/14 Hung Vuong, Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa

    Open 16:00 – 3:00

    176/14 Hùng Vương, open 16:00–03:00. It closes at 3am, the same as Paradise Club and BING DOU, but opens at 16:00, so it runs eleven hours straight, the longest of the late group. The number 176/14 means it is down an alley off Hùng Vương rather than on the street itself. The coordinate comes from OpenStreetMap and there is no Maps listing to check it against, so there is no map button. No prices published.

  • Why Not Bar Nha Trang

    Open map

    54 Nguyen Thien Thuat, P. Nha Trang (Tan Lap former), Khanh Hoa

    Open 20:30 – 3:00

    The longest-running of the six added here, and it has moved: older write-ups still give 24 Trần Quang Khải, but the one that is open is 54 Nguyễn Thiện Thuật, squarely in the backpacker quarter. Open 20:30 – 03:00, DJ sets of EDM and techno, a dancing room rather than a talking one. If you find two addresses, the one here is the current one.

  • Amigos Bar

    Open map

    60 Nguyen Thien Thuat, P. Nha Trang (Loc Tho former), Khanh Hoa

    Open 18:00 – 2:00

    A few doors from Why Not on the same stretch, doing something quite different: a spirits and whisky bar with live rock, jazz and blues around 20:30 – 22:00. Its evening splits in two — a listening room before ten, a late bar after. Happy hour 17:00 – 20:00, two cocktails for one. Open 18:00 – 02:00.

    Reference photos from sources on the internet.

  • The Blue Fox Sports Bar

    120/108 Nguyen Thien Thuat, P. Nha Trang (Loc Tho former), Khanh Hoa

    Open 8:00 – 23:00

    The only entry here open from 08:00 and shut by 23:00, which runs entirely counter to the rest: it is a sports bar, so its hours follow European kick-offs rather than a night out. A rooftop with a retractable roof, showing the Premier League, UFC, F1, and AFL and NRL for the Australians. The number 120/108 means it is down a lane rather than on the street.

  • Lodge Club Nha Trang

    42 Tran Phu, P. Nha Trang (Loc Tho former), Khanh Hoa

    Open 18:00 – 2:00

    At 42 Trần Phú, between Guru at 44 and Paradise at 40 — three doors in a row on the same pavement, so they are walkable in one evening. Open 18:00 – 02:00, a dancing club rather than a cocktail room. It publishes a booking number, and on this stretch that is worth using at weekends.

  • Guru Sports Bar

    Open map

    44 Tran Phu, P. Nha Trang (Loc Tho former), Khanh Hoa

    Open 10:00 – 2:00

    Open 10:00 – 02:00, sixteen hours straight — the longest on this page, longer even than Killed Kenny. By day it is a place to eat facing the sea; it fills up as a sports bar after dark. It sits right on Trần Phú beside the pedestrian street, so it is easy to find, and food and drink are priced below what the address suggests. No phone number could be tied to the bar itself.

  • Yasaka 008 Night Club

    Open map

    Basement of the Yasaka Saigon hotel, 18 Tran Phu, P. Nha Trang (Loc Tho former), Khanh Hoa

    Open 20:00 – 2:00

    In the basement of the Yasaka Saigon hotel, the same arrangement as HK Club beneath the Havana: a club under a large Trần Phú hotel. No door charge, drinks from around 50,000₫, open 20:00 – 02:00. The number still circulating for it uses the 058 dialling code, retired in 2017, so this page does not publish it; ask at the hotel's reception instead.

    Reference photos from sources on the internet.

Addresses come from each shop's own Google Maps listing, and the Open map button opens that shop's pin rather than running a search. 18 shops on the site have no listing we could confirm, so they have no button: the address lookup returned a different business, and a button that points at the wrong place is worse than none. A Google score appears only when Maps carries both the score and the number of reviews — a bare average cannot be weighed, so this page leaves it out. Street-food stalls change hours and close without telling anyone; call ahead if you are travelling across town.

Worth knowing

  • Kisho Club sells tables at 1.2–17 million, a different price class entirely
  • Next Level closes at 4am, the latest of the hours that could be checked
  • Z Beach opens at 7am: a beach café by day

Practical tips

  • The lounge sells tables from 1.2 million: ask whether that is a minimum or includes bottles
  • If you will stay until closing, sleep in the same quarter, a car between 2 and 4am is hard to get
  • To talk, pick a small cocktail room, not a rooftop on a weekend
  • Hotel rooftops close earlier than clubs, Altitude ends at midnight

Frequently asked

Which bar in Nha Trang stays open latest?

Of the hours that could be checked, Next Level Cocktail Club runs to 4am, then Paradise Club, BING DOU Rooftop and Killed Kenny Bar to 3, then MEDUZA, Ong Buzz Garden, Wolpertinger and Dom to 2. Hotel rooftops close much earlier: Altitude ends at midnight.

Where can you actually talk?

The small cocktail rooms: Than – The Cave upstairs at 124 Nguyen Thien Thuat, MiJack on Trinh Phong, or MEDUZA if you also want to eat. Not a rooftop or a club at the weekend.

What about Sailing Club, Skylight and Louisiane?

All three have their own pages here, so this one does not repeat them. Sailing Club is the longest-running beach bar, Skylight is the deck on top of the Havana, and Louisiane is the brewhouse on the sand.
