Full Review

Esco sits on a large beachfront plot at Lot 12 Vo Nguyen Giap. The venue's footprint is the largest on the My Khe strip, with multiple terraces stepping toward the sand, indoor air-conditioned lounges, and dedicated sections for dining, drinking, and beach lounging.

The international menu is the kitchen's strongest feature. Mediterranean influences, seafood preparations, grilled meats, and Asian fusion dishes round out the offering; the kitchen runs at the upper My Khe tier with serious execution. Lunch and dinner pull substantial restaurant crowds.

The fire dance shows on weekend evenings are the venue's signature event. Performers handle choreographed fire routines on the sand outside the bar; the shows pull crowds from the surrounding venues. The format runs Friday and Saturday during high season.

The cocktail program runs at the upper My Khe tier. Beer at 80,000-150,000 VND; cocktails at 200,000-350,000 VND; the wine list is competent for a beach bar. The pricing reflects the venue's positioning.

The crowd is mixed but heavy on Asian tour groups (Korean, Chinese) alongside Vietnamese tourists. Western visitors fill in. The format works for couples on dinner dates, small groups on sunset evenings, and visitors specifically there for the fire shows.

Compared with Maia (similar polish), Kala Kala (party-leaning), and the casual My Khe bars, Esco is the most established and the most restaurant-focused. For visitors wanting the My Khe anchor experience, this is the consensus choice.
