About

A riverside room with a short, serious drinks list

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Vang Vieng, just moments from the tranquil Nam Song River, Lime Lounge pours exceptional cocktails built on premium spirits and fresh local ingredients - where authentic Lao flavour meets international craft.

Our menu is deliberately short so every drink is made properly: fresh juices, house infusions, and one perfect cocktail over five mediocre ones. Tapas and small plates are designed to share alongside, and most nights the stage is open to anyone who wants to play.

“Where every moment becomes a cherished memory, and every visit feels like coming home.”

Meet the owner

Anna - the bartender behind every drink

Anna runs the bar at Lime Lounge. Lao-born and fluent in Lao, Thai, and English, she's the bartender behind every cocktail on the menu - the kind who has your drink in front of you before you've finished ordering, and who remembers your name the next time you walk in.

She's sharp, widely accepted as the best-looking person at any bar she's standing behind, and if you tell her that she'll roll her eyes and pour you another. Her cocktails are short on shortcuts: fresh juices, house infusions, and a preference for one perfect drink over five mediocre ones.

Open stage

Bring your instrument, your voice, or just your passion

We host an open-stage / open-mic most weeks. It started as a casual jam between staff and regulars and has grown into one of the more dependable live-music spots in Vang Vieng - a relaxed mix of travellers and local musicians.

  • Walk in, put your name on the list, play 2-3 songs.
  • Acoustic guitar, keyboard, and mics provided - bring anything else.
  • No cover charge. Originals, covers, anything goes.
  • Most nights from 8 PM, within our 4-11 PM window.

Every night from 8 PM onwards - check our Instagram for this week's schedule.

“A hidden gem! The mojitos are incredible - the best I've ever had. They have a great buy-two-get-one deal as well. Don't miss the amazing second floor where you can see views of the mountains!”
