Ancient Town

The historic centre of Hoi An, packed with lantern-lit streets and tailors’ shops. At night, the bars fill up with backpackers fresh from the beach. **Le Loi Street** and **Nguyen Phuc Chu** are the main strips for cheap drinks and street food. It’s touristy, but the atmosphere is hard to beat when the lights come on.

An Bang Beach

A 15-minute bike ride from Ancient Town, this is where the late-night action happens. Beach clubs like **Sound of Silence** stay open until 2 AM, and hostels here are more spread out, so the vibe is relaxed. The sand is soft, but the waves can be strong: swim between the flags if you go in.

Cam Chau

A quieter neighbourhood between Ancient Town and An Bang Beach. It’s where you’ll find most of the party hostels, like Mad Monkey and Backhome. The streets are lined with local cafes and bakeries, and it’s a 10-minute walk to the river. Less touristy, but still close to the action.

Starts with free beer at the hostel bar at 6:30 PM, then hits three or four spots around Ancient Town. The crowd is mostly backpackers, and the guides keep the energy high with drinking games. Last stop is usually a beach bar, where the group often splinters into smaller crews. Tickets include a free shot at each venue.

A two-floor bar with pool tables and a happy hour that runs from 4–7 PM. The crowd is a mix of hostel guests and locals, and the music leans toward indie and throwback hits. Upstairs has a balcony overlooking the street: grab a table early if you want a view. Cocktails cost 50,000 VND, but beers are half that.

A beach club on An Bang Beach that turns into a dance floor after midnight. The music is a mix of house and techno, and the crowd is older than the hostel scene: think late 20s to 30s. Entry is free before 11 PM, but drinks cost 80,000–120,000 VND. Get there early to claim a beanbag near the water.

A tiny bar on **Le Loi Street** that packs in backpackers for its cheap drinks and friendly staff. The name comes from its two-for-one happy hour, which runs from 5–8 PM. It’s standing-room-only most nights, but the crowd spills onto the pavement. Try the ‘bucket’ cocktail if you’re feeling adventurous: just don’t expect it to taste like anything you’ve had before.

A scuba-themed bar near An Bang Beach, run by a British expat. The walls are covered in dive gear, and the music is a mix of rock and reggae. Happy hour runs from 4–6 PM, with beers for 25,000 VND. It’s a good spot to meet divers heading to the Cham Islands the next day. The crowd thins out by 10 PM, so go early if you want company.

A rooftop bar in Ancient Town with views over the lantern-lit streets. The music is chilled during happy hour (4–7 PM), then switches to dance tracks after 9 PM. Cocktails cost 60,000–90,000 VND, but the view is worth it. It’s a 10-minute walk from Mad Monkey, so some pub crawls stop here for the final round.
