Luang Prabang

Tucked away in a tranquil alley overlooking the Nam Khan River, Utopia features beautiful views, great music, free Wi-Fi, yoga classes, a volleyball court, and delicious food. The bar and restaurant is the perfect setting to unwind engulfed by the mountainous jungles of Laos or to groove all night long.

Slap bang in the heart of the old town, Icon Klub serves up some of the best cocktails in the city, including classics such as Bloody Mary, mojito, and Martini. Born as the project of an art buff, the establishment hosts live music, poetry slams, and dancing nights. Since 2017, the 2nd floor of Icon Klub is home to an art gallery where poetry and reading workshops take place twice a week led by the owner himself.

LPMC, opposite the Vat Sene temple, is the perfect setting to get a kick out of Luang Prabang's nightlife. Dine under a canopy of stars or relax with one of their complimentary cocktails on LPMC's spacious outdoor patio.

Perhaps the chicest bar in Luang Prabang, at 525 Cocktails & Tapas one can experience the flavours and ingredients unique to Laos. Everyone here should sample their signature cocktail Sabaidee Laos (Kaffir lime-infused gin, ginger, lemongrass, lime Forrest honey, pepperwood). A moonlit terrace, a comfy lounge, and long bar seating are just the icing on the cake.

Tangor Restaurant Bar & Lounge offers the best fusion of western gastronomy — ranging from French to other international cuisines — and Lao culture. Try their signature ceviche and pair it with a glass of fine wine to enjoy it to the fullest. The venue also stands out for its complimentary cocktails and the breezy outdoor patio.

Parked down a busy street, Chez Matt boasts an Italian and French wine cellar. Alongside the fine wines, the candlelit bar offers a tempting selection of alcoholic drinks, including cocktails and whiskies to be enjoyed throughout the evening on the charming terrace.

Packed with young Laotians dancing the night away, Dao Fah is located only steps away from the southern bus terminal. Live bands playing Lao and Thai music and DJs spinning international genres — from rap to hip-hop — make it a great place to catch live music and enjoy the atmosphere, even after midnight.
