Vertigo Bar and Restaurant: Great service, really dark and dingy though

This place really could have been a lot better if they had the ability to let more natural light in but this is a problem with many places in Da Nang since most streets are just the usual cement rectangles with a shop of some sort on the bottom floor. This is common across Asia.

I think they actually made a mistake by tinting the front windows because it makes it seem VERY dark and almost cave-like in the interior, but the great service, cold beer, and pretty awesome pub food makes up for it.

The above image was taken a long time ago and was done by a professional photographer while the place was intentionally empty. It is very different now but I thought I'd start out with the nicest possible picture.

This next one is more of an accurate representation of what it looks like these days.

It could be considered an Aussie bar because that does seem to be what the primarily focus on as far as what is going on as far as the TV's are concerned. While I do not get into Rugby and AFL all that much, I do enjoy the company of people who are dedicated to these sports so I go anyway. I expect these same friends to share my level of enthusiasm once the Super Bowl comes around although they are going to have to wake up very early to participate.

The staff here are very friendly and they have a small menu that has a lot of really good stuff on it including one of Australia's favorite foods... pies!

I don't have much experience with meat pies because I am American and we don't really do that there but I gotta say that after just a few bites I am a fan. What's not to love about a flaky crust that is filled with meat, gravy, and veg?

While some of these specials don't really seem all that great, at least there is some level of discount basically all day long. There are even better earlier specials for those of you that enjoy day-drinking which is something I can not participate in all that frequently because I have job. One of the 12-2pm specials is even a "buy one get one free" on local beers. I do love a great value and I do love beer so it is a definite win/win.

The clock behind the bar cracks me up because it falls in line with the meme notion about everything being backwards in Australia since they are in the Southern Hemisphere.

All in all I would say that Vertigo could do a bit more to improve the overall look of the place but they do an amazing job on the things that really matter when you go out to eat and drink. Food is good, prices are fair, and the staff are awesome. What more could you really ask for?

You can find them in Da Nang Vietnam on this map
