The Month That Was
One month of live music in Hội An, pressed and filed. 63 shows, one new bar, and a scene that keeps finding itself.
After Eight Opens
Hội An just got a new late-night local. After Eight has opened its doors right behind the beloved Allée Gatto restaurant, brought to life by the same team who've already made Allée Gatto a fixture of this community.
The space will feel familiar to some, it's the old Chango's spot, a place that holds so many good memories. The pool table is still there, but it's undergone a serious glow-up. What's new is the energy: After Eight's opening night lit up with DJs, dancing, and the kind of crowd that makes you feel like you've stumbled into something special.
We're thrilled to welcome them to the local scene. 🖤
Nico Pocalipse
" Don't be too much of a crowd pleaser. People are more eager than we think to hear something strange and surprising, give them that, not just the covers.
