Kong 72 Speakeasy Bar

The way in is a fridge. An old one in cream and red, with the bar's name written across the top in the Coca-Cola style and the words ice cold on the front. It stands against a white brick wall next to a real drinks fridge, and it is the door.

Inside, look up. Paper parasols, dozens of them, packed edge to edge the whole way across, with red lanterns hanging between. The light comes through them pink and red, and the room stops looking like Da Nang.

Then you see the stage. A pink neon sign with the bar's name, red curtains behind it, a rug on the boards. On a good night there is a full band on it, keys and drums and three guitars and somebody singing. On another night there is an aerial hoop hanging over the floor with a performer folded into it.

The rest of the room is built for staying. A long bar, a pool table at the back, low chairs, and one big private room if you came with a group and want a door.

It is at 20 My Da Dong 12, in Ngu Hanh Son ward, open from six in the evening until two in the morning every day except Monday. What is playing is posted on their Instagram.
