Beer and buckets are available all around Vang Vieng in bars covered with Christmas lights (including all the "TV restaurants") and the buckets are usually very strong because Lao whisky is cheaper than soft drinks. There's no shortage of choice but a distinct lack of diversity, especially if you're looking for live music.
The Kangaroo Sunset Bar, Next to New Bridge, River Road., ☎ +856 20 7714291. Australian owned and claims to offer the coldest beer in town. Now run by an English guy and Lao woman. Has some things you cannot get anywhere else such as Marmite, Vegemite, Yorkshire tea, Branston Pickle and Chilli Con Carne. Beautiful view. �
Q-Bar on the main street is the best bet for a club environment. Depending on the revolving staff of westerners they play Dnb, dubstep and pop. Open for food all day, and closes between 12 midnight-1AM, depending on the numbers.
The Rising Sun (The Irish bar), ☎ +856 20 7928266 (), . The only Irish pub in Vang Vieng. Regular live music, 2 free pool tables upstairs and downstairs and 3 TVs showing live sport. Cold beers and homemade pies. �
Sakura, (In the village centre), ☎ +856 20 6506993 (), . Is a step above the standard friends and family guy bars. They have a projector, with a fairly solid library of both Hollywood and Art House films, although you have to be lucky or go in with a sizeable group to get your first choice. They also offer dice roll bucket deals, if you're lucky you win a free bucket. Free wifi here but only available from 9AM-8PM. �
