Hair of the Dog Hoi An – a late-night club inside the old town
Hair of the Dog Hoi An sits at 16 Thoai Ngoc Hau, right in the core of the old town, and opens 20:30-03:30 every night with Top 40, EDM, House and hip-hop for roughly 100 guests. By 9pm most of the heritage quarter has switched off its lanterns, which makes a neon-lit club with a resident DJ the exception rather than the rule. Modern fit-out, seasoned bartenders and a freestyle dress code bring in both travellers and Vietnamese guests. Book a table free through our hotline +84 966 877 714.

Overview of Hair of the Dog Hoi An
Hair of the Dog Hoi An runs as a nightclub at 16 Thoai Ngoc Hau in Minh An ward, in the very core of the old town where almost every shop has closed by 9pm. The room goes against the grain: a modern fit-out with neon lighting and resident DJs playing Top 40, EDM, House and hip-hop until 3:30am. With a capacity of about 100 guests the floor gets busy enough for atmosphere while staying intimate – nothing like the packed megaclubs in the big cities.
The crowd is the usual Hoi An night-time mix: travellers staying around the old town, overseas Vietnamese, groups of young Vietnamese on tour and expats who live here. The bartenders are experienced and the menu runs from mixed cocktails to draft beer. Anyone who wants a quiet evening watching lanterns should pick a riverside lounge on the Hoai River; anyone who wants to dance without leaving the old town has exactly one answer.
A room in the middle of the old town
The location at 16 Thoai Ngoc Hau could hardly be more convenient: a few minutes on foot from the Japanese Covered Bridge, the Nguyen Hoang night market and the old town bar streets, and a short walk back to hotels inside the heritage zone. Inside there is a central bar and a dance floor wrapping around it; lighting is programmed to the music but kept soft enough to talk at the tables. On weekends and in high season (autumn-winter and Tet) the room fills up fast because the whole old town funnels into a handful of clubs – arriving early to hold a table is the smart move.
Music and happy hour
The DJs play Top 40, EDM, House and hip-hop, with happy-hour programmes announced weekly on the fan page. The music builds through the night: early evening is easy listening for late diners, and after 11pm it becomes a proper club. Follow the fan page for happy hour and themed nights, because drink prices in those windows differ substantially.

What guests say about Hair of the Dog
Public sources do not carry a single aggregate rating yet. Recurring comments from guests are the unbeatable location in the old town, good music and professional bartenders; the downside is that the room is small, so tables run out on weekends and holidays, and the volume is not for anyone who only wants to sit and chill.
