2 Best Nightlife in Laos

Perched above an unassuming liquor shop and cafe is one of the city's best speakeasy bars. It's a stylish yet welcoming place that serves cocktails as creative as they are delicious, with jazz playing at a comfortable volume and local art adorning the walls. You can rub shoulders with Vientiane's jet set until after midnight.

This laid-back, bohemian-style hangout in a tiny, eclectically decorated white house is a good spot for a well-mixed whisky sour or mojito and a perhaps a chat about life in Luang Prabang with the crowd of expats who hang out here. There are even theme nights with swing music or book discussions to keep things stimulating.
