Pleiku Balcony - Cocktails, Craft Beer & Restaurant — Restaurant in Pleiku

My wife and I accidentally found this place on Facebook. We went there last night and we wish we would have found it earlier! Both a Western and Vietnamese restaurant/bar, owned by an Aussie and his Vietnamese wife. While there aren't many expats living in Gia Lai, this place fills a small niche of a Western style bar and food that also appeals to locals as well. Interesting setup, suitable for an indoor romantic meal, a bar hangout, a coffee and drink hangout, with nice views overlooking the airport. Food was surprisingly good and both my wife an I were impressed with what we ordered. Best burger I've had in Pleiku. The cocktails were spot on with some original ideas from the owner, Brad, who was very hospitable along with his wife Linh. We will be going back this Thursday to check out the live music night and I can see this place being a regular hang out for me as it's not only a great place, but somewhere I can have some good English conversation with other expats here (who are all English teachers I think, whereas I have retired early here in Pleiku). Everyone in Pleiku should try this place as it really is unique and well worth the prices of drinks and food! Only constructive criticism I have is that the service was lacking and we often had to call the waiter over to our table. They should be trained to check on each table every 10 minutes or so, and to pay attention to finished food and drinks to clear off the table in a timely manner, and for the owners, to upsell for another drink, etc. Oh, and while the Russian Salad was quite good, adding more mayonnaise to it will make it...

Calling all English speakers! If you are new expats, visitors or passing through for any reason and haven't come here yet - what are you waiting for!?

I was in town to visit friends, and this place became the main way I got to meet seemingly everyone in town! (Especially Dusty the Cat!)

Regular events are hosted here, including quiz nights and live music which attracts a lot of the locals and expats.

The food menu has plenty of western options and drinks can also be off menu if you ask nicely :)

So glad I got to spend my time here while visiting the town! Thanks for the memories, I hope to be back soon!

P.S. If this review is what takes you to the bar, be sure to mention "Girls Night" to the...

We visited Pleiku during rainy season. We found this place while searching for craft beers on Google. The menu is good but has a limited selection. We ordered the burger, wedges and nachos which were lovely and tasty. We had a couple of craft beers which were ok too. What the Balcony does have is a great range of cocktails which are very reasonably priced. On the night we visited, a local duo were playing live and this created a lovely cosy atmosphere on a rainy night in Pleiku. Hao was great. She helped us organise our Grab back to the hotel. She also wrote for us places to visit around Pleiku. So if you are in Pleiku, rainy season or not, I would definitely recommend dropping in and...
