Opening hours:
Directions: It's next to Etranger Bookshop on the opposite side of Phu Si hill from the center of town.

Entertainment:
The Hive Bar has a great setting to sip Beer Lao or cocktails (concocted with homemade Lao whisky), eat tapas, and meet people. Located on the opposite side of Phu Si hill from the town, the Hive Bar has a bar and dark orange brick lounge area inside, where a Lao DJ plays listenable commercial tunes (Jamiroquai was played every night - ok, barely listenable sometimes).

Dining:

Promotions:
Out in front is a treed terrace with additional seating where most patrons congregate by night's end. It's a very relaxed place to have a drink and there's always lots of travelers around with whom to enjoy it. It's well worth the extra 25 cents for a big bottle of Beer Lao to drink at Hive Bar rather than a restaurant in town.

Review by JFM staff:
Best Happy Hour: The Cruisin' Gate gay bar in Luang Prabang, Laos. Shots of lao lao whiskey two for $.20.

Despite being the most posh night venue in Luang Prabang, and perhaps all of Laos, the dress code is pretty relaxed.
