Red Apple Club
Red Apple Club occupies a two-floor space on Nguyen Thien Thuat in the Old Quarter, running as one of the larger club-format venues in central Nha Trang with live DJs, themed parties, and an extensive cocktail list. The crowd mixes backpackers, Russian tourists, and the local Vietnamese expat scene, with the energy building through the evening into proper club-style late-night programming.

Insider Tip
The upper floor tends to be quieter than the main dance floor; useful for breaks. Themed nights (often Friday and Saturday) push the cover charges and the crowd density. Check Instagram for the night's programming.
Full Review
Red Apple Club occupies a two-floor building at 54B Nguyen Thien Thuat in the Old Quarter, with the layout splitting between a main dance floor on the ground level and a quieter upstairs section with bar service and additional seating. The main floor handles the DJ programming with proper sound system, lighting rig, and dance floor space. The upstairs is useful as a break area or for visitors who want to participate in the venue's energy without standing on the dance floor.
The programming runs proper DJ sets most nights, with the music style covering EDM, house, hip-hop, and dance pop in rotation. Themed nights happen periodically (often Friday and Saturday) with specific aesthetic or musical focuses, drawing larger crowds and pushing the cover charges higher. Standard nights are typically free entry, with the themed events running 50,000-150,000 VND at the door.
The drinks program runs mid-range Old Quarter pricing. Beer at 50,000-100,000 VND, cocktails 100,000-200,000 VND. The pricing slot above the budget dive bars but below the Tran Phu rooftop clubs makes Red Apple accessible to younger backpackers who want proper club energy without the rooftop spend. Service can stretch thin during peak hours; the bar queue moves slowly on busy Friday and Saturday nights.
The crowd is genuinely mixed by Nha Trang standards. Younger Western backpackers, Russian tourists (particularly during Russian Orthodox Christmas season), Korean and Chinese visitors, and the local Vietnamese expat scene all flow through. The age range runs heavier on the under-30 side than Booze Cruise or the older expat bars. Dance floor energy builds through the night and peaks around midnight on busy weekend evenings.
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. Red Apple Club sits at 54B Nguyen Thien Thuat in the southern Old Quarter, with Booze Cruise nearby.
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.
