The Bamboo2 Bar has been in its current location, at 230 Bach Dang street, for about 3 years now. It has recently been renovated and is quite a pleasant to spend an evening. It is a small narrow bar with a pool table out the back and a few tables and chairs out the front. For many expats in Danang, Bamboo2 bar is the only true expat bar in town, English is the main language spoken and all the music is from a large selection of English only tunes.
The original Bamboo Bar had been somewhere in Danang for over 10 years but for some reason was mostly only known to people who lived in Danang, it was difficult to find for travellers. The current Bamboo2 Bar has a great location and is easy to find as a result there is a much broader mix of patron, expats, backpackers, businessmen and even a loyal Vietnamese following. The Bamboo2 Bar is owned by the lovely Diem, niece of the original bamboo owners and a friend to most expats in Danang, she is always up for a chat and on hand to offer advice about things to do in Danang.
The bar generally doesn’t open until after 5pm although sometimes you may see chairs out front early in the afternoon meaning an early opening time. Closing times are mostly dependent on the customers, Diem will more often than not stay open until the last customer leaves.
The bar is very basic, with graffiti from past patrons on the wall, bamboo bar stools and a sturdy old pool table that always seems to be busy. Western music is always playing and you can even pick out some songs from the extensive itunes selection or make a request to Diem. The staff are fun and friendly and speak English better than most other waitresses you will find in Danang.
To get away from Danang’s very Vietnamese feel, the Bamboo2 Bar and is a great escape to hear some decent music, have a chat with expats in Danang or just to escape the constant Vietnamese chatter.
