Da Nang isn’t just about beautiful beaches and mouthwatering seafood. The coastal city’s vibrant nightlife scene is equally mesmerizing, with hidden gems like P.Antheon Cocktail Bar. Perched on the 6th floor of a sleek building, just a 5-minute stroll from the iconic Dragon Bridge, this exclusive speakeasy brings Greek mythology to life in every taste and setting with many creative cocktails. It’s a refreshing, exhilarating escape from the bustling streets below, providing a must-visit spot for those looking to experience Da Nang’s enchanting atmosphere after sunset. 

“A Bar Like No Other with Unique 360° Counter”

As the elevator doors to P.Antheon Cocktail Bar open, customers are greeted by its extraordinary 360-degree bar counter, a circular island that dominates the center of the space. The bar counter is made from sleek, dark wood, and its polished surface reflects subtle, ambient lighting. This innovative design breaks away from traditional bar layouts, creating a truly immersive experience for cocktail enthusiasts. It gives them a perfect setting to make friends and converse easily with skilled mixologists about the handcrafted cocktails they serve. 

Many aspects of P.Antheon Cocktail Bar are filled with classic elements intertwining a little bit of contemporary breath. Rich, dark wood paneling on the floor and plush leather seating nod to traditional speakeasies, while clean lines, impressive wall artwork, and subtle lighting add a modern edge. A large floor-to-ceiling window offers breathtaking views of the city skyline and a dynamic urban ambiance outside, creating an experience that is both grounding and exhilarating for any cocktail aficionado. The city lights dance on the glass, reflecting the fusion of tradition and innovation that P.Antheon expresses.

“We keep the decoration kind of simple and minimal because we want to emphasize cocktails, our core product,” states Mr. Hung, the manager of P.Antheon Cocktail Bar, with a quiet confidence that speaks to the bar’s value. This simple yet profound declaration is evident in every aspect of the establishment. The minimalistic design serves as a canvas, allowing the true artistry of their cocktail creations to take center stage. “Every element, from the understated decoration to the carefully curated lighting, is thoughtfully prepared to ensure that the focus remains on the wonderful drinks,” he continues.

Great Music and a Relaxing Atmosphere

At P.Antheon Cocktail Bar, the ambiance is an indispensable factor that complements and elevates the cocktail experience of customers. The dim lighting and vibrant music, ranging from funky beats to jazz and R&B, enhance the atmosphere without overpowering the drinks mixed behind the bar. The vibe encourages everyone who visits to sit back and get comfortable in the cushiony sofas, enjoying a magic drink while admiring old film footage on the wall. Alternatively, guests can get seated at the high bar stools by the counter to take pleasure in the charm of the city through the large window and savor the relaxing moment. 

“There’s no rush at our place. Just relax, enjoy a modern cocktail, soak in the elegant, almost mythical setting, and enjoy the beauty of the nightlife of this coastal city. It’s a refreshing escape from the hectic days,” Mr. Hung reflects softly, gazing at the bar and then turning back to the large window.

Pantheon Cocktails – Old but Gold

“We call our classic cocktails ‘Pantheon Cocktails’ because, in addition to the Pantheon being the gathering place of the gods, the term also denotes a group of people or things that are symbolic in a particular field. Needless to say, these drinks are iconic in the world of mixology, instantly recognizable to anyone who appreciates the finer things in life,” Mr. Hung explains.

In the world of cocktails, these classics are the gods themselves. Each one represents perfection, celebrated for its balance, flavor, and history, and has paved the way for countless other exceptional drinks. “At P.Antheon, we celebrate these icons in our Pantheon Cocktails menu, which includes timeless options like the Old Fashioned, Martini, and Negroni, cocktails that have stood the test of time and represent the foundation of any other great drinks,” he enthuses.

Olympus Cocktails – Where Zesty Taste Fusing with Greek Mythology

Besides the classics, Pantheon Modern Cocktail Bar invites those with a passion for mixed drinks on a gustatory journey where each cocktail tells a captivating tale of the gods and their distinct personalities, inspiring the bartenders to create these sharp concoctions. As Mr. Hung mentioned earlier about the core values of P.Antheon, the bar also pays great attention to beverage quality of its creative drinks with “Olympus Cocktails”, featuring 12 unique concoctions, each corresponding to a distinct Greek god. These carefully crafted experiences blend the art of mixology with the timeless allure of Greek mythology, from appearance to taste. 

“Discover the essence of mythology through our innovative concoctions, each one a tribute to the tales that have shaped cultures for millennia, with all the careful glassware and elegant garnishes. With these exceptional cocktails, it’s more than just a night to sip a drink – the liquid energy will take your taste buds on a mythical journey through the imagery of ancient Greece that we’ve read or watched on TV, from the power of Zeus to the beauty of Hera, in a symphony of flavors as epic as the stories that inspire them,” Mr. Hung says with an amicable smile.

Moreover, to please those seeking a Vietnamese-inspired drink that is as visually striking as it is delicious, P.Antheon’s bartenders have incorporated Vietnamese ingredients into one of their standout drinks, Demeter. Inspired by the Greek goddess of agriculture and harvest, this cocktail showcases the rich taste of the earth’s bounty. “This vibrant green drink combines nếp mới, a fragrant Vietnamese sticky rice spirit that carries the special aroma of newly harvested young rice, carefully fermented according to a traditional Vietnamese recipe. A touch of roasted sesame adds a nutty, aromatic depth, while pineapple juice delivers a refreshing burst of tropical sweetness. The star ingredient that you can find in any traditional dish of Vietnam, pandan, gives the drink its vivid green hue, capturing the vitality and freshness of nature at first glance,” he explains.

But the fun doesn’t stop there! He is excited to announce the bar’s upcoming project, the “Cocktail Theme of the Month.” Each month, or on special occasions, this vibrant bar will introduce drinks with low alcohol content and rich in fresh fruit juice, inspired by the personality of a god whose attributes resonate with that time of year. “For example, as the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches in Vietnam next month, a celebration deeply connected with the moon, cocktails will be created with Artemis, the goddess of the moon, as the central theme,” he says exhilaratingly.
