I went to Nagini Bar twice for cocktails when I was in Luang Prabang recently, and I loved it! It's opposite the gorgeous looking hotel and restaurant, 3 Nagas.
Nagini Bar is such a lovely place. It's beautifully decorated and the cocktails are absolutely delicious, perfectly made and presented, and use local ingredients and flavours. I was given great complimentary snacks to eat with them, too. I sat outside on the footpath early one evening, and inside on a big, comfortable chair by an open window on another, very relaxing.
The staff are excellent - beautifully presented, very professional and attentive, and really lovely, warm and welcoming.
Actually, this was one of the nicest things about the time I spent at Nagini - chatting with some of the staff, who were all women, and getting to know a bit more about Laos. A very special thanks to the assistant managers Tou and Min, and especially to the lovely Nam, who noticed I was reading and told me about Luang Prabang's little library, where you can swap and buy books left by travellers, and who also made my excellent and very delicious cocktails.
Although I didn't eat, food is available here too, and I'm sure it would be as excellent as everything else about Nagini Bar.
Thank you, Nagini staff, for a lovely few evenings...
Read moreOne of the best cocktails and dinning around here with good quality in a well decorated building along with the price. From my home, in Bangkok, this pricing with what you get it’s worthwhile and more. Staffs were so attentive and had these positive spirit and great smile. We went with their recommendation and were very happy with the dishes served. Khanap Paa, fish was freshly grilled and came juicy and aromatic without any muddy aftertaste. Tam Tard, Luang Prabang salad was good too. Went great with the appetizers. Kaeng Nor Sai Yanang, Vegetables soup sounds doubting but so much umami and hit the spot as well. Sticky rice came in a hearty portion whereas us could hardly finished.
Cocktails were listed as highly recommended and proved not wrong especially with their signature’s. Beautifully crafted and tasted delicious. Just from their appearance could hardly resist the temptation. We had 3 NAGAS, NAGINI, NAM KHAN, and PHONGSALLY BLOSSOM.
Ending our meal with the dessert, Chuem Mak Moung, Mango Flambé in Orange Syrup & Lao Whisky with Coconut Ice Cream, was amazing too. Thank you for the great services provided and it’s one of the best dining experiences...
Read moreWent there on a Tuesday evening, I guess the bartender wasn't in anymore but they only had three out of the many cocktails available (and only told us once we wanted to order, not while getting seated/handed the menu. And we did mention that we were there for after dinner cocktails).
The bar is very beautiful, but prices were all in USD on the menu (they do covert it with the bill), but the cocktails that we got were not very good. Tequila tasted bad too. 3 stars because the staff were still friendly (we got served by three different people, mostly the waitress running over from across the street because our waiter couldn't see us sitting outside? .. we were the only guests in the bar...
