Da Nang
An Thuong / Western Quarter
Expat Bars, Craft Beer, MassageAn Thuong — the blocks immediately west of My Khe Beach around An Thuong 2, 4, and 7 streets — is Da Nang's expat and tourist bar zone. It developed organically as the city's beach accommodation expanded outward, and the result is a walkable patch of craft beer bars, cocktail spots, and late-night restaurants that functions as a genuine neighbourhood rather than a tourist strip.
The energy is low-key compared to HCMC's Bui Vien — a good neighbourhood bar scene rather than a nightlife destination. Craft Beer Da Nang, Tap House, and a rotating cast of opened-and-closed expat bars provide the infrastructure. The crowd is a mix of long-term expats, Korean business visitors, and the package-tour overflow from My Khe hotels.
Some massage establishments in and around An Thuong operate in the gray area — the standard signage, the iPad selection, the pricing structure that makes the services clear without advertising them. The zone is dense enough that these are findable without local knowledge.
An Thuong is the right base and the right starting point. It's not a deep scene but it's functional and walkable.
