If you haven't seen the Dragon Bridge breathe fire when visiting Da Nang, it's as if you haven't been there. But squeezing in among the sea of people at 21:00 on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday... is a bit 'too low-key', right?
As a long-time tour guide, I always advise my discerning guests: 'Choose a spot up high, hold a refreshing Cocktail in hand, chill music in your ears, and watch the steel dragon twist and turn.'
Below are the Top 5 Sky Bars with the most valuable 'million-dollar' views for you to enjoy this moment.
1. 7 Bridges Brewing Co. – The Best 'Face-to-Face' View
If you ask me where the clearest view of the dragon's head breathing fire is while the atmosphere is very 'Western', I would choose 7 Bridges. Located right on Bach Dang Street, the rooftop of this craft beer bar offers a direct view of the Dragon Bridge. You can feel the heat of the flames without needing to zoom the camera.
Vibe: Free-spirited, gritty, a favorite hangout for Expats and Digital Nomads.
Must-try: An award-winning craft IPA and a giant Pizza.
Address: 493 Tran Hung Dao (East Bank, right near the bridge's head).
2. Sky36 – High-Class Luxury (Novotel Premier)
The symbol of Da Nang's nightlife. Sky36 is the highest Sky Bar in the city. From here, you can not only see the Dragon Bridge but also capture the sparkling beauty of all Da Nang within your sight. The Dragon Bridge from this angle looks like a bright golden silk ribbon across the Han River.
Vibe: Chic, lively, booming DJ music. The ideal place to show off your best outfits.
Note: The prices are in line with the quality, quite high compared to the general level (but for Crypto enthusiasts, it's probably just a small matter, right?).
Address: Floors 36, 37 Bach Dang Street.
3. Brilliant Top Bar – The Love Song by the Han River
Located on the top floor of the Brilliant hotel, this is one of the first and most consistently performing Rooftop Bars. The view here looks into the body and tail of the dragon, very artistic. An open and airy space with transparent glass allows for stunning photo ops without any bad angles.
Vibe: Romantic, cozy, suitable for couples (Date night) or light business meetings. Often has Acoustic music.
Delicious dish: Beefsteak here is highly rated.
Address: 162 Bach Dang.
4. Vanda Top View Bar – Close to the 'Dragon Tail'
If you're looking for a quieter space but still want a close-up view, Vanda is a smart choice. Located right at the foot of the tail side of the dragon, this Sky Bar gives you the sensation of floating right next to the steel dragon.
Vibe: Gentle, refined, and extremely relaxing.
Pros: The river breeze is refreshing, and the drink menu is diverse, from Cocktails to healthy Mocktails.
Address: 03 Nguyen Van Linh.
5. Tourane Bar (Muong Thanh Luxury) – 'Home Ground' of Class
Located right on the bustling financial street Nguyen Van Linh, Tourane Bar on the 26th floor of Muong Thanh Luxury hotel offers a comprehensive view of both the Dragon Bridge and Da Nang airport. This is the ideal location to enjoy the scenery while discussing business or market trends.
Vibe: Luxurious, standard 5-star service.
Little secret: This is also the building where PayD has its office. After visiting our office, you can head right up to the 26th floor to 'unwind'!
Address: 115 Nguyen Van Linh.
