Cat Ba Bars and Nightlife: Rooftops, Pubs and Clubs

Listen to this page Hands-free overview

For a night out in Cat Ba, start in the town center: Little Leaf Rooftop serves cocktails above 1/4 Street, The Bigman and Oasis combine food with a bar, Quiri focuses on restaurant dining and signature drinks, and Rose Club hosts DJ-led events. These are different kinds of venues, so choose the setting before choosing how late to stay.

Little Leaf, The Bigman and Oasis are close together on 1/4 Street. Quiri is on Tung Dinh Street, while Rose Club is off Nui Ngoc. Evening programs and closing times can change with the season; check the same day if you want a particular performance or plan to arrive after 22:00.

Rooftop drinks and restaurant-bars

Little Leaf Rooftop – Cocktail Bar

Little Leaf Rooftop is the current name of the venue previously known as The Cat Bar. It is on the rooftop at 224 1/4 Street, near the waterfront. The open-air setting makes it a useful choice when a view and cocktails are the main reasons for going out.

Arrive before sunset if the view matters, and check whether rooftop seating is available in rain or strong wind. Ask about stairs or lift access before going if climbing several floors would be difficult.

  • Address: Rooftop, 224 1/4 Street, Cat Ba.
  • Choose it for: a rooftop drink around sunset.
  • Confirm: opening time, rooftop access and any event that could affect seating or noise.

The Bigman Restaurant & Bar

The Bigman occupies the 222 1/4 Street address associated with the former Good Bar. It combines a restaurant with an evening bar, making it an option for dinner followed by drinks without moving across town.

Check the night’s program if music is your priority. A restaurant table does not automatically include a particular performance, and the kitchen may finish before bar service ends.

  • Address: 222 1/4 Street, Cat Ba.
  • Choose it for: a meal and drinks on the central waterfront strip.
  • Confirm: last food orders, the evening program and space for your group.

Cat Ba Oasis Bar

Cat Ba Oasis Bar at 228 1/4 Street offers food, cocktails, coffee and alcohol-free drinks, with indoor and outdoor seating. It can accommodate a group whose members want different things from the evening, such as dinner, a drink or a coffee.

Use the exact street number when arranging a meeting: the restaurant-bar at 228 and Oasis Bungalow and Restaurant at 254 are different locations. If you want to use a swimming pool, check arrangements with the bungalow property rather than expecting one at the bar.

  • Address: 228 1/4 Street, Cat Ba.
  • Phone: +84 974 580 585.
  • Choose it for: food and drinks with a choice of indoor or outdoor seating.
  • Confirm: the night’s entertainment, closing time and any conditions for reserved tables.

Quiri Pub Cocktail & Restaurant

Quiri combines Vietnamese, Western and Italian food with cocktails at 135 Tung Dinh Street. Its signature drinks draw on Vietnamese ingredients and dishes: the phở-inspired cocktail uses aromatic spices, while other drinks explore flavors such as popcorn.

Choose Quiri when you want a meal and a distinctive cocktail in the same stop. Ask the staff to explain a drink’s ingredients and sweetness before ordering, especially if you have an allergy or prefer an alcohol-free option. Confirm the kitchen’s closing time if you are arriving late.

  • Address: 135 Tung Dinh Street, Cat Ba.
  • Phone: +84 904 060 997.
  • Choose it for: dinner and cocktails inspired by Vietnamese flavors.

DJ events and dancing

Rose Club Cat Ba

Rose Club is the club-focused choice, with events featuring DJs, MCs and dancers. Check the program for your date; a poster for a previous weekend is not a promise of the same performers or schedule.

The club is at No. 3 Hoa Phong Street, a side street off Nui Ngoc. Use that address rather than a Rose KTV karaoke listing. Before reserving, ask about admission, table minimums and the total price of any bottle-and-mixer package.

  • Address: No. 3 Hoa Phong Street, off Nui Ngoc, Cat Ba.
  • Contacts: +84 333 866 811 and +84 848 626 888.
  • Choose it for: a scheduled club night and dancing.

Plan the evening and the journey back

If you are returning from a boat trip, leave time for disembarkation and the journey from the pier before booking dinner. A cruise return time is not the time you will reach a table in town.

Check the current menu before ordering and ask whether service charges, table conditions or card surcharges apply. Confirm the full cost of a package rather than relying on a happy-hour poster or an old online price.

Arrange the journey back to your accommodation before drinking. Central venues may be within walking distance of your hotel, but resorts, beach hotels and village stays can need a booked ride. Save the address, agree on a pickup point, and do not ride a motorbike after drinking.
