Full Review

Waterfront Bar & Restaurant sits at 150 Bach Dang in the middle of the strip, with the two-story building visible from the street. The ground floor runs as the main bar; the upstairs adds dining space; the riverfront terrace extends seating onto the sidewalk facing the Han River.

The Western-leaning format distinguishes Waterfront from the more local Bach Dang options. The bar carries imported beer (Heineken, Corona, Asahi, German wheat beers); the wine list runs deeper than typical Bach Dang venues; the kitchen handles Western pub food (burgers, fish and chips, ribs) alongside Vietnamese dishes.

The drink prices sit at the upper mid-tier Bach Dang level. Beer at 60,000-150,000 VND; cocktails at 150,000-280,000 VND; food at 200,000-450,000 VND. The pricing matches the Western-leaning format and the riverfront real estate.

The crowd is mostly expats, Western tourists, and Vietnamese visitors who prefer the Western format. The bar functions as a community anchor for the small Bach Dang expat community; regulars treat it as their weekly habit.

Compared with Golden Pine (similar pub format but more Vietnamese) and Bamboo 2 (much more local), Waterfront is the most Western-leaning Bach Dang ground-level venue. For visitors wanting a familiar Western pub format on Bach Dang, this is the consensus choice.
