Bars and Pubs in Vientiane


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

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.
