About this place Kong View Bar

Kong View Bar occupies one of the better stretches of Vientiane's Riverside promenade for sunset viewing — the wide Mekong here faces directly west, and the bar's open terrace makes it a natural gathering point in the late afternoon as the sun drops over the Thai bank of the river. The bar is resolutely local in character: Beerlao on draught, modest food menu, tuk-tuk drivers socialising at the bar alongside NGO workers and travellers. It is gay-welcoming in the practical Vientiane sense: the international crowd that makes up the customer base creates a tolerant social environment without any formal gay identity. Same-sex couples drinking on the terrace will be unremarkable. The sunset is reliable; the Mekong's slow, enormous presence does what it always does in riverside Laos — produces a kind of profound calm that makes the concerns of the wider world seem distant. A good early-evening option before moving to other bars or dinner in the Nam Phu area.

The restaurant has a beautiful view of the Mekong River, an elegant ambiance, and live music.

A modern Lao-Thai pub and restaurant located beside the Mekong River. The atmosphere is fantastic, especially if you choose one of the semi outdoor tables overlooking the river at sunset. The menu offers a wide variety of Lao, Thai, and Western dishes, along with a good selection of drinks. The food is delicious, service is friendly and efficient, and the prices are reasonable. There’s also plenty of parking available. Although it’s a little outside the city center, it’s definitely worth the visit for the great food and relaxing riverside ambiance.

Kong View Restaurant, booked an air-conditioned room for 7 people, but the restaurant took 3 people who didn't book into the room we booked. The restaurant's attitude was cold and suggested we sit at an empty table outside. The service was the worst!
