Here are few useful nightlife suggestions for tourists visiting Nha Trang:
Nha Trang Water Puppet Theatre
A traditional aspect of Nha Trang nightlife is the colourful water puppet theatre show that depicts the daily life of Vietnamese farmers. Each show runs for about 45 minutes and includes plenty of fun and exciting scenes, including rice-planting, kid’s games, frog-catching and fishing. This is a great cultural show and perfect for travellers on the family tours in Vietnam looking to get fully immersed in something local. Tickets for the show cost about $6.50 for adults and $4.50 for children.
Pool Pub
The Pool Pub is one of Nha Trang’s best nightlife spots and easily discovered along Tran Phu Beach. This two-story place has great quality audio systems, neon lighting, a rooftop terrace and wooden communal tables. The spacious poolside bar has some of the best seats in the establishment. Beverages include a choice of spirits, cocktails, beers and wines with relatively acceptable prices. The preferred music played is mostly deep house, techno music and EDM, while the outside terrace is a great place for having decent conversations.
