Bob Marley Bar Hoian — Restaurant in Hội An

Unusual experience despite the great vibes🫠

This bar appears to be one of the top spots in Hoi An, with great music and stylish staff. However, our experience left us with mixed feelings.

We noticed that staff only approached certain White (Caucasian) individuals outside to invite them in. During the two hours we sat at a street-facing table, not once did we see them engage with Asians or White families.

Jokes and smiles exclusively for White (Caucasian) guests. Unfortunately, our group had no problem communicating in English, and we naturally laughed along at the jokes shared between the staff and the neighboring table. However, when the staff turned and saw us smiling, their expression shifted to a cold stare and a serious look.

We were the only Asian guests in the bar at the time.

We ordered Huda draft beer, but the one served to us was flat and watered down, unlike the same beer at other tables. After finishing it, we ordered the bottled version-and the noticeable difference confirmed our suspicions.🍻

It’s a visually appealing place with a fun atmosphere, but these subtle differences in treatment were...

We started the evening with a good impression — the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Unfortunately, the night quickly took a disturbing turn. A disagreement between a Western customer and a local street seller escalated into a fight, during which around ten Vietnamese individuals, including bar staff, joined in attacking the man. Shockingly, I witnessed him being kicked in the head while he was on the ground.

What was even more concerning was the bar staff’s response. While some participated in the attack, others continued serving drinks as if nothing had happened. When I pleaded with them to call the authorities, they dismissed it, saying, “I’m just bar staff.”

This level of unprofessionalism and disregard for customer safety is unacceptable. For your own safety and peace of mind, I strongly recommend avoiding this venue. They clearly do not prioritise protecting their guests or ensuring a safe...

WATCH OUT FOR THE PEOPLE THAT SELL W33D!!! 2 things. The w33d I bought was laced with opiates- my sister had an OD and passed out for two minutes, luckily we had some nasal spray but we had to go to the doctor and he said it was likely laced with h3roin. Thankfully she is alive but everyone that took it turned like a zombie and it felt horrible. Second They do a scam where they surround you with people to distract you and one of them has a UV light. After you pay the right amount they distract you and switch a big bill for a small bill and then act like you paid wrong, the light makes all the bills look the same. The bar itself doesn’t seem to be affiliated with them from what I can tell but please don’t buy anything from the sketchy guys over there. If you see them, please smack the hell out of them for almost killing my...
