BLENDS SOCIAL BAR — Restaurant in Đà Nẵng

I visited Blends on a Thursday night, curious about this new spot. The place has a decent look, and I appreciated the refreshing change in music, moving away from the usual Vinahouse tracks found elsewhere.

Initially, it was unclear where to order. There was a table outside with a staff member selling Huda and soft drinks, but neither the overpriced beer at 40k nor the 40k soda felt appealing (-1 point). Inside, at the bar, I discovered a menu and a selection of hard alcohol and craft beers, including five highballs and selections from Brewhaha. Opting for a rum and coke, priced at 120k, felt pricey given the bottle's cost is 400k, and the beers were also twice the cost compared to Brewhaha (-1 point).

Service was a total miss. Upon ordering my drink, the bartender almost gave me whiskey instead of rum, corrected swiftly by attentive staff. Another customer faced a similar issue, suggesting a need for more attentive bartending (-1 point), considering the venue was not busy,

Before even receiving my drink, I was asked to settle the bill, implying they preferred not to have customers to stay for more than one drink (-1 point).

Overall, my experience at Blends was marred by confusion, high prices, and service mishaps. While the venue itself offers a nice change in ambiance and music, the other factors as stated make it unlikely I'll ever...

I’ve been here about six times in the past two months, including both Western and Lunar New Year, and there’s a reason for that. Even though Da Nang’s nightlife scene isn’t the strongest, this bar stands out for its quality, great prices, and excellent service. You can pay with cash, QR code, or credit card. Sometimes, they have promotions with burgers that taste absolutely amazing—especially if you’ve already had a few drinks.

They usually play house or hip-hop, though they announce the night’s genre on their social media. If I had to mention one downside, it’s that the DJs can be a bit stubborn with their music style. They don’t always notice when the crowd isn’t feeling it (because people start leaving), and I think they should mix in more Western music from time to time—especially since about 80% of the customers are Westerners.

Other than that,...

New update: Just tried some new cocktails: Pistachio Sour & Rasberry De Cacao: Good ^-^. Orginal review: This place is perfect if you're in a group, looking for a loud atmosphere to enjoy EDM music, and want to let loose with some beers. But if you're on your own, you might not have the best experience. You'll probably feel a bit lost, as the staff and bartenders are often swamped and won't have time to engage with you (I mention this because I've been to other pubs solo where the bartenders genuinely took a moment to chat, even if it was just a quick conversation). Plus, if you're hoping for great cocktails or food, this isn't the...
