Da Nang's skyline lit up at night across the water

Da Nang's rooftop bars are in two places. Over the Han River they sit high above the city. SKY36, on the 36th floor, is the highest and the loudest, and Brilliant Top Bar and Nyx Lounge face the Dragon Bridge. Along My Khe Beach they look at the sea, and several are hotel pools that turn into bars at night.

The ten below are grouped by area and ordered by floor, highest first, with what each one is best for.

Watching sunset from a Da Nang rooftop

Faces east

My Khe Beach faces east, so you will not see the sun sink into the sea. It sets behind the city and the hills, and what you watch is the sky over the water turning gold and pink.

Lights on

The lights come on over the bridges.

17:15–18:20

From about 17:15 in late November to about 18:20 in early July.

30 min early

Get there half an hour before sunset.

Fri & Sat

They fill up, and the seats with the best view go first at sunset. Book ahead where you can.

Sep to Dec

Da Nang's rainy season, heaviest in October and November. Rooftop pools and terraces are open to the rain, so check the forecast.
