Bungalow Beach Bar — Restaurant in Hội An

My husband and I spent a few days in Hoi An while we were visiting Vietnam back in August. We came across Bungalow Beach Bar on accident while we were looking for a different restaurant which had been recommended to us by our hostel. I'm glad we got lost though, because we enjoyed our evening at Bungalow. It seems to be a place where expats meet up, maybe to watch sports as there are TVs. There seemed to be very few tourists. It was easy to imagine living in Hoi An while we were having a drink and taking in the relaxed atmosphere of the bar.

The manager is a gentleman from South Africa. He chatted with us for a while and made us feel like regulars- a very friendly guy! They had a selection of craft beers made in Vietnam which suited my husband, who works in the craft beer industry back in Colorado. They also have great food. I highly recommend the homemade tortilla chips (option of flour or corn!) which come with salsa and guacamole. After nearly 2 years away from the USA, I had been missing freshly made corn chips and my husband was craving spicy chicken wings. Our meal really satisfied our cravings! We noticed the menu also had breakfast which I would like to check out next time we find ourselves in Hoi An.

Being a craft beer joint with Western style food, it is a bit more expensive than some restaurants in the area but it was worth it for a wonderful taste of home in the middle of our travels. I would recommend going if you're into craft beer and want to spend some time in a...

Let me start by saying if you’re after craft beer then this is a place to go. The food is mostly Mexican and pretty good. But ... the service was all bad for our experience. The place appears to be catering to Western tourists at western prices but not one staff member spoke English. They had no Nachos, no cocktails and my order was messed up with the next table. He was not happy to get the wrong food order. We thought we ordered a Saigon Larger beer but out came Irish stout! Beer connoisseurs would have loved the flavour no doubt but not after a hot day and hot evening at An Bang beach. We couldn’t have a conversation with the staff so gave up. Pretty...

I would've given this place a 5 star after the food. However after finishing, we watched the manager (the tall white guy with the glasses) scream at the Vietnamese staff in the dining area, in front of the customers. Judging the staff's reaction this doesn't seem to be out of the ordinary. Later on he critiqued two of our beer choices as "disgusting" - on multiple orders. It was obvious he was trying to tease us, but he just kept going on with it..was awkward. Much later on in the evening we were at the same bar as him, where he went on a very racial rant. This guy made me uncomfortable to the point I am posting this review under...
