If you fancy an aperitif, just have a few beers or a cocktail before going to bed,
check out Vientiane’s bars and pubs. There are quite a few around town and the number
is ever increasing.
Vientiane’s bars vary from very small places where only drinks are served to bigger
spots where also some snacks are available for the small hunger. Some of the bars are
part of genuine restaurants, so you can even get a real meal there.
Snooker tables, Karaoke rooms or big screen TV’s are some of the additions that
you can find in a few of the bars. Vientiane4fun tells you where.

Déjà Vu |
Nam Phu |
This very small,
modern and elegantly decorated bar is the place to go if you really
fancy cocktails. Mali, the owner of the Déjà Vu, does everything alone
here, from preparing wizard like the most wonderful cocktail to writing
the (not expensive!) bills and he even finds time for a chat. |
|
Jazzy Brick |
Setthathirath Rd. |
This new bar on the
two floors has no sign outside... but it can be easily found right
opposite the Kop Chai Deu Beergarden. Nice wooden interior and great
choice of drinks and cocktails. Not cheap, but sometimes open until
dawn. |

Chicago |
Nokeokoumane Rd. Tel.: (020) 530 5591 email:

The Chicago just
opened in Spring of 2006. Elegant, yet warm interior, jazz and blues
music as you might expect and good choice of all kind of drinks. Most
drinks cost US$ 2.90, so you can very well afford to have another one.
Depending on the customers, this place sometimes stays open until the
early morning hours. |

Café des Arts |
