It is located on Pham Ngu Lao Street, a 10-minute drive from the citadel and we love that this is an open air place with a simple and minimalistic design and many wooden communal tables, traditional lanterns, and hanging greenery that gives it a cozy feeling!

6. Phuong

Of the most modern nightclubs in Hue, Phuong stands out as a winner because of its sheer size and brilliance. It resembles other more mainstream clubs that one can find in Hanoi or Saigon in Vietnam. The architecture resembles that of a theatre with 2 floors and a stage where sexy dancers come to shake a leg. The music is almost always live Vietnamese pop or loud Vina House. The waiters here are known for their warm and courteous service and this is a local’s favorite!

7. Victory Bar

All safe and no risk makes a vacation a dull one (for some people, at least). If you want to go crazy in Hue, you should check out this underground nightclub that is located in the middle of Pham Ngu Lao street. The sound system is blaringly loud and we would recommend you to carry earplugs along. It is a bit dark inside so don’t get spooked out if you were expecting a terrace with views of the river, The crowd is mostly that of youngsters and this is a great place to experience the underground Hue nightlife.

If you are looking for a sophisticated night-out with candles and terrace views, please overlook this point. It is one of the cheaper options but we recommend it to those who are looking for a laidback evening complemented with some beer and shisha. While it is an open-air bar, there is an airconditioned room in the back. Make sure you reach here on time since it shuts down relatively early, and experience the best nightlife in Hue.

10. Why Not Bar

The location is as cool as the name of this bar! It is actually a hostel located in a stunning location which is perfect for party-people visiting Hue! Why not Bar is a small pub but with great reviews that boasts of its far-west theme complete with the wooden decor, staff wearing cowboy hats, red bricks etc. It is the youngest bar in the list and was started only a year ago. We love that this bar is embraced by people of different nationalities, especially tourists and backpackers. The burgers and steaks are delicious here and keep in mind the happy hours on mojitos from 5 PM to 10.30 PM.
