In recent time, along with Phu Si cafes, Chieng Dong's and Hon Kien's have become rendezvous places for those who love music in Nha Trang
Speaking of cafes with music bands in Nha Trang, many people think of Phu Si's (at 87 Bach Dang Street). Coming into existence nearly 20 years ago, Phu Si's has become a meeting place for those who like pre - war music. Actually, the model of coffee shop and music room is not strange to us but we seemed to forget these places for a long time. The birth of Phu Si's awakened many people's habit of listening music. So far, its fame has resounded. When a number of tourists once come to Nha Trang, they will try to save their time to come to Phu Si's in order to enjoy the familliar voices like Kim Khanh's, Thai Hoa's. Especially, for those who live far away from Nha Trang, when returning to NhaTrang, they often come to Phu Si's as if they were looking for a close friend in the neighbourhood. Here, music is first priority. As known
Phu Si's reminds us of former tea shops while more modern features are found at Chieng Dong coffee shop and bar (at 119 Nguyen Trai Street, Nha Trang). Though just opened, Chieng Dong's has attracted a great number of customers. The band of Chieng Dong includes a pianist, an organist and two guitarists. Good singers like Ngoc Tu, The Quang gather together at Chieng Dong's. Unlike Phu Si's that is a stage for professional singers, Chieng Dong's is both a stage and a play ground for those who love music with the program of "singing together". This is a wholesome cultural rendezvous. This café has just put a new service (Karaoke singing in team) into operartion.
In addition to the two addresses, Hon Kien's (at 55 Dong Da Street) is also a meeting place for music lovers. With architectural language and arranging art, its owner, a young architect, wants to bring special features of the city by the sea and of architecture into this cafes. The way he decorated this cafes makes you think of ocean at first steps entering it. Coming here, you can enjoy classical and romantic music. Generally, Hon Kien's is a combination between "Audio and Visual".
Generally, cafes like Phu Si's, Chieng Dong's, Hon Kien's have contributed to the improvement of the cultural life of people in Nha Trang.
