Ready for a night out in Da Lat? Join us on a spontaneous pub and bar tour, exploring three fantastic spots we stumbled upon, including the charming On The Rocks Cocktail Bar.
The final topic of my Da Lat trip in Vietnam.
It's a Da Lat pub crawl!
For my Da Lat pub tour,
I wasn't specifically trying to hit a certain number of places,
but I'm going to share three spots with you.
Let's dive right in!
On The Rocks
On The Rocks Cocktail Bar
While I decided on a 'pub tour' as the grand finale of my Da Lat trip,
it actually includes bars and cocktail bars too, haha!
I didn't do much research beforehand;
I simply wandered into places that caught my eye and looked like they had a good vibe.
So, this time, there are quite a few bars included, haha!
I mean, you can totally drink beer at a bar,
does it *really* have to be a pub?
But ironically, I ended up drinking cocktails here..... lololol!
This alleyway just caught my eye as I walked past.
There was no way I *couldn't* explore it, hahahaha!
It seemed to be a recurring theme in my Da Lat trip.
All the really cool spots seemed to be hidden away in alleyways, lol!
Peeking in.
I just wanted to take a quick peek at the atmosphere inside,
but then I ran into a staff member...
and somehow, I just ended up walking right in, hahahaha!
The table seating inside had this kind of vibe.
It felt like most of the patrons were women.
I considered sitting at a table,
but decided on the bar instead.
There wasn't a physical menu;
you scan a QR code, and the menu pops up.
It's just for browsing, not for ordering directly.
On the flip side, there's a QR code for Wi-Fi.
If you need Wi-Fi, scan this one first,
then scan the menu QR code.
They served this first, and it was seriously delicious, haha!
Sweet and salty perfection!
It's not exactly like Honey Butter Chips, but it has a similar addictive quality,
and it's so good.
(I probably took this photo mid-snack, like 'Oh, right! I should take a picture!' lol)
It was so tasty,
I polished it off before my cocktails even arrived!
The one on the left is a Clover Club – delightfully sweet.
The one on the right is a Godfather – a classic whiskey flavor.
They even refilled the snack, haha!
From what I saw, they take out the snack,
and then seem to add something extra, like a honey glaze or something similar,
I think I briefly caught a glimpse of them doing that (or maybe not, haha!).
Either way, it's seriously delicious.
Overall, the atmosphere is fantastic,
making it a perfect spot for a cocktail.

Karma Lounge
This was another place I was drawn into by its atmosphere.
In fact, it was the very first spot I visited on my Da Lat pub tour (it really stands out!).
After a quick look around, this place had an unbeatable vibe, so I stepped inside.
(This was before I discovered the place I mentioned earlier.)
The overall ambiance was very red, very vibrant.
And... the music was quite loud with an intense beat, haha!
If you're not a fan of that kind of atmosphere, it's something to keep in mind.
There was also a second floor,
but it was a bit early when I went,
and there weren't many customers, so I sat on the first floor.
The cocktails were quite delicious.
If you enjoy this kind of atmosphere, it's definitely worth a visit.

Just a quick note here:
You might be wondering why I only took pictures of one or two drinks and then left.
Well, this is all part of my Dalat pub tour in Vietnam...
The three places I'm introducing today
were all visited on the same day, hahaha!
If you want to drink at multiple places,
you have to conserve your drinking capacity........
Moi Craft Beer
Moi Craft Beer
I spotted 'Craft Beer' written outside as I walked by, so I popped in, haha!
After all, nothing beats a good craft beer.
There are surprisingly few tables.
Just the two outdoor tables you see,
two inside, and the bar seating—that's all there is.
There was no one at the bar,
and no one at the indoor tables either,
so I took a seat at a table.
As for the beer...
I tried to order my favorite Weizen,
but they had a sticker indicating it was unavailable, unfortunately.
So, I decided to just try one of the 'special from Dalat' options.
On the left is Ginger Ale, and on the right is Tamarind Ale.
Hmm.
Honestly, they weren't great.
Don't order them, hahahahaha!
Something I noticed while traveling in Dalat, Vietnam, is that
most alcohol-related local specialties seem to be a miss.
Specifically, the Dalat specialties, haha.
Dalat wine (personally) wasn't great either,
and these two Dalat 'special' beers were also quite disappointing....
I think other well-known beers would have been much tastier instead.
(They seemed to be from other famous breweries anyway.)
Though, the only one I've actually heard of is 7 BRIDGES Brewery, haha!

With this, I'll conclude my introductions for now,
and wrap up my travelogue about Dalat, Vietnam.
Looking at the flow of the trip, the last thing to cover was
the rapid antigen test story.
However, since I posted about that first, out of order,
this post effectively becomes the last one related to Dalat.

On The Rocks Cocktail Bar offers a sweet and savory honey butter chip-flavored snack. This snack is so delicious that it's often finished before the ordered cocktails arrive, and refills are available.
Karma Lounge has an overall red-themed atmosphere. The music is quite loud and the beats are intense, making it suitable for visitors who prefer such an environment.
At Moi Craft Beer, the Ginger Ale and Tamarind Ale, introduced as 'special from Dalat', were mentioned as not being very good. The article's author advised against ordering these two beers.
On The Rocks Cocktail Bar does not have a physical menu; you can scan a QR code to view the menu on your screen. To use Wi-Fi, you should first scan the Wi-Fi QR code located at the back.
