Sunshine Bar

Top choice in Nha Trang


Ramshackle bar on the riverbank owned by a hospitable Japanese couple who speak great English. Music is very well selected, with DJ Alan Ritchie spinning reggae on Sundays. There's great food too; try okonomiyaki (a savoury pancake). It's walking distance from the Cham towers, accessed by a narrow lane (walking or scooter access only).
