5 Best Sports Bars in Vietnam to Catch Every Kickoff
A cold beer, a big screen and the right crowd can turn match day into the best part of a trip. Across Vietnam, western-style pubs and dive bars cater to expat fans, digital nomads and visitors.
But catering to fans doesn’t mean every venue shows the match you want, so I compared sports bars in Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City on screens, sound, food and opening hours. Those matter for late European football and early American leagues.
Here are the best sports bars in Vietnam for live games.
How much does a night at a sports bar cost in Vietnam?
A night at a sports bar in Vietnam costs 100,000 to 700,000 Vietnamese Dong (VND), or $4 to $28 USD, per person, depending on whether you choose local beers or imported craft brews and pub meals.
| Venue | Location | Average cost (Vietnamese dong, VND) | Average cost (US dollars, USD) | Highlights/promotions |
| Shamrock Sports Bar | Da Nang | 100,000 – 400,000 VND | $4.00 – $16.00 USD | Budget-friendly drinks & 24/7 access |
| The Jackaroo Bar & Grill | Ho Chi Minh City | 100,000 – 600,000 VND | $4.00 – $24.00 USD | Wednesday Burger & Thursday Parma specials |

1. Shamrock Sports Bar
Website: https://shamrocksportsbar.com/
Address: 11 An Thượng 32, Bắc Mỹ Phú, Ngũ Hành Sơn
Contact: +84 333 314 600 (bar) | +84 387 562 153 (WhatsApp) | [email protected]
Hours: Monday–Sunday: Open 24 hours
Live matches don’t wait for a reasonable hour. Shamrock Sports Bar, a 24-hour Irish spot in Da Nang’s An Thượng expat quarter, pairs authentic pub warmth with round-the-clock sports.
You can pull up a stool any time of day or night and watch live international broadcasts across several big screens.
That commitment showed during a recent visit for a late-night European football match, when the welcoming staff turned the audio up for us.
They also serve hearty home-cooked comfort food like slow-cooked Irish stew and shepherd’s pie, so it’s easy to stay for the whole match.
Between games, you can even challenge friends to pool or enjoy occasional live music and outdoor barbecues.
Just keep in mind that live music nights can get pretty rowdy if you prefer quiet match viewing, and the kitchen has a small main-dish menu.

Amazing vibe and atmosphere and darts and pool to your hearts content
Never expected an Irish themed sports bar to have the best Chilli con Carne I’ve ever had in my life but it was awesome. Amazing vibe and atmosphere and darts and pool to your hearts content, would come back here again!!

let you decide. Sports fans don’t let this place slip away.
Great place we found after a stroll with the Boys. Nine of us went there to find a bar with the Cricket on. yes we found the Cricket and more. Awesome staff, service and food. Pool players are tough to beat in the pool comp, but us Aussies love a challenge. You want to watch a different sport they change the channel, your hot they put on the AC nothing is too much trouble. We finished up here most nights, was it the cricket of the service? let you decide. Sports fans don’t let this place slip away.

2. The Jackaroo Bar & Grill
Website: https://www.jackaroobar.com/
Address: 41 Nguyễn An Ninh, Bến Thành, District 1
Contact: +84 903 208 185 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday: Closed; Tuesday: 9:00 AM–9:00 PM; Wednesday–Thursday: 2:00 PM–10:30 PM; Friday: 2:00 PM–11:00 PM; Saturday: 11:30 AM–11:00 PM; Sunday: 11:30 AM–10:00 PM
Watching footy abroad is better with a bit of Down Under hospitality. The Jackaroo Bar & Grill brings an Australian Outback theme to central Ho Chi Minh City, just steps from Ben Thanh Market.
It works as a hub for fans who want cold drafts and Aussie pub classics in a friendly setting.
Once you’re inside, you can relax in the air-conditioned bar or grab a stool in the open-air beer garden to watch footy, rugby or cricket on dedicated screens.
The weekly dining specials add to the appeal, and the Thursday Parma and Pint deal is especially good value for budget-conscious travelers.
The catch is that you need to climb a few flights of stairs to get in, which is hard for anyone with mobility issues.
Customer Reviews
so comfortable shoes are highly recommended.
It’s a sports bar, but their brisket is hands down the best in the city—you won’t find anything like it anywhere else!
The brisket tacos and burgers trigger pure, instinctive cravings, and their pizza might just be the naughtiest in town.
Keep in mind that it can get pretty loud during public viewings, and hours may be flexible during major global sporting events.
You need to walk up three flights of stairs, so comfortable shoes are highly recommended.

3. Hybrid Sports Lounge
Website: https://www.hybridsportslounge.com/
Address: 26 Đỗ Bá, Bắc Mỹ Phú, Ngũ Hành Sơn
Contact: +84 903 322 310 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday–Friday: 8:00 AM–8:00 PM; Saturday: 9:00 AM–7:00 PM; Sunday: 9:00 AM–9:00 PM
A sports night gets better when there’s something to play between games. Hybrid Sports Lounge in Da Nang spreads sports viewing and a full billiards hall across three modern floors.
The ground floor has free pool tables for casual players, and the upper floors suit more serious pros.
Upstairs and down, plenty of high-definition screens stream everything from Formula 1 to UFC fight nights.
While hanging out on the second floor during a weekend tournament, I loved how easily I could track live scores on the screens around me.
Beyond the games, the cocktail service was great too, and the pub snacks and meals make it a comfortable place to linger.
The catch is that they close at 8:00 PM on weekdays and 7:00 PM on Saturdays, so you can’t catch late-evening matches here.
Customer Reviews
The bar features indoor seating, a full bar, and three floors of pool tables
Hybrid Sports Bar is a well-designed and sophisticated venue. I’ve been here about a dozen times to play pool, and it’s consistently been a great experience. Today thr staff were kind enough to change the TV so we could watch a sport that wasn’t initially being shown, which was really appreciated.
The bar features indoor seating, a full bar, and three floors of pool tables — probably 10 or more in total. The tables are competition class (very high quality and clearly expensive), and the pool cues are among the best I’ve come across in any bar worldwide.

The space is enclosed and air-conditioned. The restrooms are clean.
This sports bar is perfect for sports fans who want to watch tournaments on TV.
The first floor features a bar, large TVs for watching sports, and a pool table. The second and third floors are mainly for the bar and pool tables. The space is enclosed and air-conditioned. The restrooms are clean. You can order beer and other drinks, though the coffee could use some improvement.

4. The Shed Saigon
Website: https://shedhcm.com/
Address: 178 Pasteur, Sài Gòn
Contact: +84 782 350 178 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday–Sunday: 8:00 AM until late
Packed match days are easier when you can always find a clear view. The Shed Saigon spans two large levels on Pasteur Street, and it has built a reputation as one of the city’s best places to watch sports.
Nearly 20 big HD screens mean you can see your favorite football, rugby or combat sports event from almost anywhere.
On the food side, the kitchen serves spicy wings, burgers, wood-fired pizzas and steaks. Plus, the menu prices already include all taxes and fees.
Between matches, you can play darts or pool and catch the weekday happy hour discounts.
Just keep in mind that match schedules vary, so confirm broadcast availability first if you want a less popular sport.
Customer Reviews
this is exactly what a sports bar should be.
Even packed to the rafters at that hour, the staff never missed a beat — drinks kept flowing, orders came fast, and everyone still got a smile despite the chaos. That’s the kind of service that separates a good sports bar from a great one.
Cold beer, good food, big screens, and a crowd that actually cares about the game — this is exactly what a sports bar should be. If you’re in HCMC for the World Cup, stop scrolling and just go. The Shed nails it.

Staff were amazing, beers were cold, food was excellent!
Stumbled on this place while exploring the city. Came in to watch the NRL, they sent us upstairs because the AFL was on downstairs, but they put all the TV’s upstairs to NRL and put the sound on for us. Staff were amazing, beers were cold, food was excellent! We ended up coming back to watch the NRL the next two days.
Great place if your looking for a good Aussie sports bar to watch your favourite Aussie sports.
They also had some international rugby union on but changed one TV to the NRL just for us.

5. Scallywags Bar and Grill
Website: https://www.scallywagsvietnam.com/
Address: 97 Ngô Thì Sĩ, Ngũ Hành Sơn
Contact: +84 813 336 427 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday–Sunday: 8:00 AM–12:00 AM (opens earlier for select US events)
Sport only feels like an event when the screens and the sound are right. Scallywags Bar and Grill in Da Nang has eight large 4K televisions and a crisp sound system that brings full stadium energy.
The indoor area is non-smoking and air-conditioned, and a cozy covered patio adds extra screens for group gatherings.
They show a wide line-up of competitions, from Aussie rules and rugby league to the NBA, Premier League, and motorsports.
Weekday afternoon happy hours also keep drink bills low, and the doors open early for major events like the Super Bowl.
Be aware, though, that seating is first-come, first-served, so you can’t book a table in advance. Arrive at least 30 to 45 minutes before kickoff if you want a prime view.
Customer Reviews
A bar that does everything a sports bar should do.
A bar that does everything a sports bar should do. Great selection of expat / western food alongside Vietnamese options, live sports (football, rugby, AFL etc), cheap beer and the bonus for me is no smoking inside, which is rare in Da Nang.
I had a few pints, watched AFL (as a Brit i don’t understand it) but it was a great night. And the English Breakfast at 7pm was a dream meal (I’m allergic to egg but the extra bacon, hash brown and toast) more than made up for it.

Staff is so nice and helpful. Highly recommend.
What an amazing bar to watch games and hang out! Under 6$ for a pint and pie which was so delicious! Buy 2 get 1 happy hour. If you like a good vibe for watching AFL or sports then this is your spot. Staff is so nice and helpful. Highly recommend.
