Full Review
INFUSE occupies an open-fronted storefront at 18 Biet Thu in the heart of the Old Quarter, with sidewalk tables spilling onto the pavement and indoor seating arranged for sightlines to the multiple TV screens that line the walls. The screens are the venue's defining feature; football, rugby, and other live sport runs continuously, and the bar's calendar is built around major matches and tournaments.
The 7 to 8 PM buy-one-get-one-free happy hour is the best value proposition in the Old Quarter. Draft beer drops to genuinely cheap pricing during that hour, and the deal applies to most of the standard drink menu. The bar fills quickly during the happy hour window, with visitors arriving before 7 PM to claim sidewalk tables. The deal is reliable and consistently honored.
The food side handles Western pub fare (burgers, fish and chips, pizza, hot wings) alongside Vietnamese standards at fair prices (mains 130,000-260,000 VND). The kitchen produces reliable food rather than impressive plates. Service is friendly and the staff handles the high-turnover sports-bar dynamic well.
The crowd is heavily Western tourists, expat regulars, and the sports-fan demographic. Match days pull the strongest crowds, with specific tournaments (Premier League, World Cup, Rugby World Cup, major boxing or UFC events) drawing larger numbers. The atmosphere stays casual and conversation-friendly during quiet hours, building to high-energy sport-watching during match periods. Outside of sport, the music plays at moderate volume and the social mixing flows easily.
The Neighborhood
Old Quarter sits two blocks inland from Tran Phu Beach in Nha Trang's Loc Tho ward, with the cluster of backpacker bars and Western-friendly venues concentrated on Biet Thu, Hung Vuong, Nguyen Thien Thuat, and Tran Quang Khai streets. The whole zone fits inside a 500-meter square and is walkable end to end. INFUSE sits at 18 Biet Thu in the central Old Quarter, near Crazy Kim and La Mancha.
Getting There
Grab or Xanh SM from anywhere in central Nha Trang costs 25,000-60,000 VND. Walking from any Tran Phu hotel takes 5-10 minutes through the cross-streets. Most Old Quarter accommodation puts you within 5 minutes' walk of any venue.
