6 Best Things to Do After Dinner in Hoi An

Hoi An Night Market consists of over 50 local vendors selling a variety of local snacks, trinkets, clothing, jewellery, and accessories. The market occupies Nguyen Hoang Street in the centre of town.

Widely regarded as one of the most popular markets in Vietnam, it occupies a 300-metre-long street that overlooks Thu Bon River. After sunset, it’s illuminated by hundreds of colourful lanterns, making it a popular spot for photography as well.

White Marble Wine Bar is a cool drinking spot that occupies a refurbished heritage building within Hoi An Ancient Town. It’s where you can enjoy exquisite wines, spirits, and cocktails with sweeping views of the bustling streets and Thu Bon River. Set along Le Loi Street, this stylish bar, restaurant, and lounge is a 2-minute walk from Hoi An Museum of Trade Ceramics.

The nightlife venue serves 14 premium wines by the glass, including Chilean Sauvignon Blanc, Australian Pinot Gris, and Red Bordeaux. Meanwhile, its food menu comprises authentic Vietnamese, French and Italian fusion dishes – we highly recommend the cheese platter, mini crispy pancakes, and chicken satay.

Tam Tam Cafe has been a staple in Hoi An’s nightlife scene since it opened in 1996, with tropical-inspired décor, pool tables, a relaxed setting, and a spacious upstairs lounge area that’s ideal for relaxing and people-watching.

For drinks, you can find a standard array of imported beers, cocktails, spirits, and wines by the glass. Tam Tam Bar also serves a selection of Vietnamese and European fare such as banh xeo, pho, omelettes, sandwiches, pizzas and pasta, as well as homemade ice cream, sorbet, and cakes.

With a spacious upstairs terrace overlooking the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge, Thu Bon River, and Hoi An Night Market, its prime location attracts mostly tourists looking to unwind after a day of exploring Hoi An. 

Imported beers and wines by the glass come in a great selection, but the cocktails are the main attraction at Mango Mango. A popular pick is the berry cocktail, which consists of fresh strawberries, vodka, hibiscus, mint leaves.

Mango Rooms is a bistro bar facing Hoi An Riverside, boasting vibrant interiors, friendly service, and upbeat music. Its impressive menu features signature cocktails, fruity smoothies, and Vietnamese fusion dishes.

Before and Now Bar’s is a nice nightlife venue for a relaxed night out in Hoi An Ancient Town. The 2-storey bar is 5 minutes away from the Japanese Covered Bridge, featuring an open-air terrace that’s decorated with plenty of potted plants and colourful lanterns.
