Cat Ba does not have a big busy nightlife, there are plenty small places to eat and drink lining the waterfront offering both local and interntional style food.
But there is still places for some entertainment
There are bars including a couple of Karaoke bars, along the waterfront, its not going to the worlds most exciting but how many people do you need to have a good time?
You can enjoy local food, international food or a mixture of the two.
Wherever you eat Vietnamese cooking is generally fresh and tasty, the whole waterfront in Cat Ba offers street food, nightmarket, cafes and bars.
