As Sunday Go, we have spent over 5 years guiding international guests through the Mekong Delta. We know that after a long day of exploring, you don’t just want a “drink”—you want an experience. Whether you are looking for a quiet craft beer, a rooftop sunset view, or a high-end speakeasy to end your night, this is your curated guide to the best bars in Can Tho for 2026.

Best Rooftop Bars in Can Tho (For Sunset & Views)

Best for: Romantic dates, sunset photography, and “chill” vibes.

If you want to escape the motorbike noise and catch the “Golden Hour” over the river, head to these spots.

Iris Sky Bar

Located on the top floor of the Iris Hotel, this is one of the highest vantage points in the city. It offers a 360-degree view of Can Tho, making it the premier spot for sunset watchers.

• The Vibe: Sophisticated and airy. It’s perfect for a pre-dinner cocktail while watching the city lights turn on.
• Insider Tip: Arrive around 5:30 PM to secure a riverside table before the crowds arrive.
• Location: 224, 30/4 Street, Xuan Khanh Ward, Ninh Kieu District.

Sunset Lounge & Pool Bar (Sheraton Can Tho)

For those seeking luxury, the Sheraton’s pool bar delivers a 5-star experience. It sits by the pool with a “rustic & young” design featuring comfortable bean bags and ambient LED lighting.

• Why Go Here: It is arguably the cleanest and most reliable service standard in the city. If you want a safe, high-end environment to enjoy a glass of wine or a signature cocktail, this is it.
• Location: Sheraton Can Tho, 30/4 Street, Xuan Khanh Ward.

Ninh Kieu Riverside Sky Bar

Situated right on the quay, this bar offers the closest view of the river traffic. You can watch the tourist boats and sampans drift by while enjoying a cool breeze.

• The Vibe: Classic and breezy. It’s a great stop immediately after finishing a sunset boat tour.
• Location: 2 Hai Ba Trung Street, Tan An Ward, Ninh Kieu District.

Best Cocktail & Speakeasy Bars (For Mixology Lovers)

Best for: Couples, solo travelers, and those who appreciate quality ingredients.

Can Tho has a growing “hidden bar” scene that rivals Ho Chi Minh City in quality but at a fraction of the price.

Helios Cocktail Bar

Hidden away on Nam Ky Khoi Nghia street, Helios is a favorite among expats and locals who know good drinks. The entrance is discreet, leading into a cozy, vintage-inspired space.

• The Experience: The bartenders here are true mixologists. Instead of ordering off the menu, tell them your “mood” or preferred flavor profile (e.g., “smoky and sour”), and they will craft a custom drink for you.
• Music: Often features live acoustic sets or low-fi beats that allow for conversation.
• Open: 18:30 – 00:00.

The Heo Bistro – Hidden Cocktail Bar & Kitchen

A fusion concept that blends excellent dining with top-tier cocktails. It’s tucked away in an alley (Hẻm 11), giving it a true “speakeasy” feel.

• Why Go Here: It solves the “dinner vs. drinks” dilemma. You can enjoy a full meal (European-Asian fusion) and transition seamlessly into late-night cocktails without changing venues.
• Location: 46A Alley 11, Mau Than Street, Ninh Kieu District.

Painkiller’s Pub

Owned by a friendly host named Leo, this spot feels like a neighborhood pub in Europe but with Vietnamese hospitality. It is a “hidden gem” specializing in whiskey, steaks, and a curated selection of Jazz and Blues music.

• The Vibe: Intimate and welcoming. It is very popular with Western tourists because of the owner’s excellent English and the comforting menu.
• Location: 66/9 Cach Mang Thang Tam Street, Cai Khe Ward, Ninh Kieu District.

Déjà Vu – Cocktail & Wine Bar

Located on the first floor of an old building, Déjà Vu offers a nostalgic, bohemian atmosphere. It feels like stepping into a friend’s artistic living room.

• Why Go Here: It’s quiet, private, and perfect for deep conversations over a glass of wine.
• Location: 1st Floor, 142 Huynh Cuong Street, An Cu Ward.

Best Craft Beer & Chill Spots

Best for: Casual groups and meeting other travelers.

Dreibar Craftbeer & Cocktail

A dual-concept venue that hits the sweet spot between a dive bar and a cocktail lounge. It has an industrial design and attracts a cool, young crowd of locals and expats.

• The Vibe: “Chill” and social. It’s a great place to ask locals about their city or meet fellow travelers.
• Open: 18:00 – 01:00.
• Location: 110 Dinh Tien Hoang Street, Thoi Binh Ward.

Galaxy – Cafe & Beer Chill Out

If you want to drink like a local, this is the place. It offers the classic Vietnamese “sidewalk” experience (vỉa hè) but with an upgrade—comfortable seating and imported beers.

• Why Go Here: To soak up the street energy of Can Tho without the chaos of a club.

Clubs & High-Energy Nightlife

Best for: Dancing and late-night partying.

If you want loud music, DJ sets, and a high-energy crowd, check out 777 CLUB or Busan Club. Note that the music style here is often “Vinahouse” (fast-paced Vietnamese EDM), which is an experience in itself! These venues are loud, flashy, and open late.
