Wanderlust Hoi An is a vibrant bar located on Nguyen Phuc Chu Street, right along the river in the heart of Hoi An's Ancient Town. The venue features a stylish, bohemian decor with lanterns, wooden furniture, and a terrace that overlooks the water. By day, it's a relaxed spot for a coffee or a light bite; by night, it transforms into a buzzing cocktail bar with live acoustic or DJ sets. The cocktail menu is inventive, using local ingredients like lemongrass, ginger, and Vietnamese rum. The signature 'Wanderlust Mule' is a crowd-pleaser. The atmosphere is social and welcoming, attracting a mix of travelers and expats. The riverfront location is especially magical at sunset when the lanterns along the river begin to glow.
Don't miss
- Try the 'Wanderlust Mule', a local twist on the classic Moscow Mule with ginger and lime.
- Sit on the terrace during sunset for views of the river and the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge.
- Enjoy live music on weekend evenings, often acoustic guitar or a DJ spinning chill-out tunes.
- Sample the Vietnamese coffee cocktail, a blend of ca phe sua da and rum.
