SKY36 – Novotel Danang Premier Han River

SKY36 sits at the top of Novotel Danang Premier Han River on Bach Dang Street, running across levels 35, 36 and 37 of the tower. It is the highest sky bar in Da Nang, and from the open-air deck the view runs all the way round: the Han River and its lit-up bridges directly below, and the city spreading out on every side towards the mountains and the sea.

It is a big venue, close to 2,000 square metres with room for more than 700 people, and it is split into an indoor lounge, an outdoor bar with standing tables and lounge seating, VIP areas and a rooftop dining space. The drinks list covers cocktails and premium spirits, with bar bites and a dinner menu for those who want to eat.

SKY36 is a party bar rather than a quiet cocktail lounge. It opens nightly from 6pm to 2am, DJs play from around 9pm, and the late evening brings shows such as fire dancing, flair bartending and live performances. Entry is free and you pay for what you order. Smart casual dress applies, and booking a table through the hotline is wise on weekends.
