Coming to a small resort town for getting some rest most tourists prefer long sunbathing on a beach, taking several sightseeing tours, or visiting museums. But there’s another kind of holiday-makers whose goal is to have lots of fun. Having in mind vacationers who consider sleep being their main obstacle for good vacation we prepared a small list of places of Nha Trang with boiling nightlife.

Entertainment in Nha Trang

The resort industry in Vietnam started to develop rather recently, and the small town Nha Trang has become its, so to say epicenter. It’s quite worth seeing both at night and by day.

When it starts getting darker hundreds of lights and dozens of neon signboards come to life. DJs adjust their equipment to make the night especially vivid and hot. Barmen mix their drinks and cocktails to make visitors happy and joyful. The nightlife of Nha Trang can nicely surprise with its diversity even very picky critics.

Depending on your mood you can spend a night at a nice quiet bar with some calm background music or, on the contrary, to dance until you drop at one of the nearest nightclubs.

Sports lovers will definitely get their shelter at sports bars where they’ll find exceptionally tasty beer and lots of TVs showing the matches of their interest.

For hookah smokers and lovers of its sweet haze, Nha Trang has prepared several excellent opportunities.

You’ll also find some places where it’s possible to spend a night playing the “Mafia” or the “Crocodile” games, and It’s not necessary to have a company of friends with you as someone like-minded can always be found at such places.

The Zima club (it means “Winter” from Russian) in Nha Trang is one of the places that are most popular among Russian-speaking tourists. The club is situated on the ground floor and cannot boast beautiful beach views, but it absolutely doesn’t hinder people from spending time there moving rhythmically with the sounds of really hot music.

The club’s dancing floor is much smaller than in other such places, but it doesn’t make the club less popular. Professional photographers work at the parties so you can find your photos on the official club’s page and in social nets.

The venue provides excellent catering and drinks, while their delicious burgers are worth a special praise. Every day from 17.00 until 22.00, you can get two cocktails for the price of one. An extra advantage of the lounge is the possibility to order a hookah. The atmosphere in the bar resembles one in the bars of Indian resorts.

It is an especially memorable bar with a lagoon pool inside. The venue isn’t overcrowded so here you can have a rest from noise and rush of the streets. The menu is rather varied and includes dishes of international cuisine with prices going from 8 to 12 USD.

Hookah bars

If you are not a lover of noisy and crowded nightclubs or bars and if you don’t like dancing, you can have a walk along the Nguyễn Thiện Thuậ or the Tran Quang Khai street. Here you can come across two tens of entertainment venues with acceptable prices. Every one of them is unique in its own way, but we’d like to tell you about hookah bars where you could smoke a good hookah and spend a pleasurable time sitting there when most restaurants are already closed.

The Temple & The Cloud

The Cloud Nha Trang
Delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere in The Cloud

The owners of both hookah bars are our friends and both The Temple and The Cloud are excellent leisure places. If you want to have some tasty snack, to talk to your friends or to smoke a hookah, it’s definitely the right places for you.

However notice that The Temple has more drive, more music, and dance, while The Cloud’s atmosphere is calm and the food is tasty. In both bars, you’ll get an excellent hookah.
