Riverside rooftops
The best first drink in Hoi An is on a terrace above the river, watching the lantern boats drift below. Several old-town hotels and bars open their rooftops at sunset, and the view of the glowing old town is the whole point.
The An Hoi bar street
Cross to An Hoi island for the livelier strip of riverside bars, where the night market crowd spills over. It is busy and fun rather than sophisticated, with cheap beer and live music in places.
A hidden cocktail night
For a step up, the secret cocktail experience from $61 is a small-group evening with a local mixologist mixing drinks around Vietnamese flavours. It is the most distinctive night out in town and books up fast.
