Vietnam’s bamboo bar listed among world’s most extraordinary

The Wind and Water Bar in southern Vietnam has been listed among the world’s 25 most extraordinary bars by the U.S.-based media site Distractify.




The Vietnamese bar, located in Binh Duong Province, is ranked among other places around the world on the “25 Most Extraordinary Bars To Experience In Your Lifetime” list, including the Laundromat Café and Northern Lights Bar in Iceland, the Clinic Bar in Singapore, the Blue Frog Lounge in India, the Club 33 in California, the Sky Bar in Thailand, the Joben Bistro in Romania, Bab-al-shams in Dubai, and the Sunland Pub in South Africa.

“The Water and Wind Bar is set on a flooded area of land, creating an incredible reflection in the water,” the site describes the place on its list announced two weeks ago. “Stepping stones lead across the reflection and into the massive thatched hut. Lamps adorn the walls, creating an incredibly cozy hideout for a few drinks.”

The Wind and Water Bar is a well-known purely bamboo structure designed by Vietnamese architect Vo Trong Nghia in 2008. It was built by local workers over 3 months.

The venue has won numerous international awards, including the International Architecture Awards in 2009 and the Architects Regional Council Asia Awards in 2011.
