Draft previewguide template · 9 things to confirm before publishing
  • Digital Danang's August 2026 listings name The Roof's Tuesday as "Views with MIA, 9pm" and Sunday as "Chill Days + 1 More with MIA". Our site says Views with DJ Throbak at 10:30PM and Just Chill. Which is right? Worth correcting one or the other.
  • Friday pick: Cheri Lady Social Bar (hip-hop and R&B, listed weekly) was chosen over Le Funky Donkey (afrobeat only in 2026 listings); Funky Donkey is kept as the late Friday option. Cheri Lady's address is still to confirm.
  • Saturday pick: The Craftsman's R&B and hip-hop night (DJ Kazho or DJ Throbak) was chosen over Saturplay, so the week is not mostly our own nights. Swap back if you prefer.
  • Author name for the byline
  • Re-check Blends, The Craftsman and Le Funky Donkey on their Instagram: their nights were listed in Digital Danang's August 2026 guides; check Instagram again before publishing
  • Hair of the Dog vs Karma Lounge: both are listed at 06 Tran Quoc Toan. Which one is open?
  • DJ spelling: Throbak (his Instagram) or Throback (our site)?
  • Mention that DJ Kazho is connected to Blends (your bio says he owns Blends and United Bar)? The guide only says he plays there
  • ADM Club and SKY36 have no night or start time in the draft; add one or leave them as 'some hip-hop'

How to plan a hip‑hop night

5:15–6:20PM

Sunset runs from about 5:15PM in late November to about 6:20PM in early July.

9PM

Stay for the first set, or head inland. Blends, Le Funky Donkey and The Craftsman are all in the My An bar streets, close enough to walk between.

Grab

Cars are cheap, and a better choice than a motorbike taxi after a few drinks.

Hip‑hop in Da Nang: questions people ask

What people ask before a night out.

Which clubs in Da Nang play hip‑hop?

The most reliable are Blends Social Bar and Le Funky Donkey in the An Thuong area, and The Roof on My Khe Beach, Tuesday to Sunday. In the city centre, Hair of the Dog and Sugar Social Club play hip-hop as part of an open-format night.

Is there an R&B night in Da Nang?

Yes. The Craftsman has run an R&B and hip-hop Saturday with DJ Kazho (Digital Danang, August 2026), and The Roof plays R&B every night it has a DJ.

What time do clubs open and close in Da Nang?

DJ bars usually start around 9PM, and clubs such as Sugar Social Club run until 4AM.

Do I need to book a table?

At bars, no, and at clubs like Hair of the Dog a table comes with a minimum spend.

What should I wear?

Smart casual works everywhere on this list. Clubs and hotel rooftops turn away beachwear and flip-flops.

Checked in September 2026 against the venues' own pages, Digital Danang's weekly guides and Vietnam Nightlife's listings. The week's picks come from Digital Danang's listings for 27 July to 6 September 2026.
