We booked a 2 day hiking trek through Q bar and we can't recommend it enough! The owner of the bar has amazing English and is very friendly. He was able to tell us in great detail what our trip would involve.
We spent 2 days trekking through villages, rice paddies, and mountains. We got to stay with a local home stay, and we're provided meals with the locals both days. The trip ended with a waterfall, organic farm for drinks and a boat ride along the river back. It was a definite highlight of Laos for us! Amazing value for money and an authentic experience that can't be matched.
Our tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about the area, having grew up in a village close by. We became friends by the end of the trek and can't recommend him enough (Bounthalai).
Thank you Q bar for helping us arrange a wonderful experience we won't forget 😁.
We went a couple of times to this restaurant for food and drinks and all was super delicious! There is Happy Hour at night for cocktails. I can highly recommend this place. And when you come for sunset you can go upstairs (3 levels) to see sunset :)
We booked 2 days hiking tour with the owner of the restaurant. He has a travel office just next door. You can book different tours and activities and also scooters with him. We had an amazing time in Luanda Prabang because of him.
Worst service I have ever encountered in my life. Not only did they forget half of the drinks we ordered, but the one’s we did get came 1 1/2 hours after we made our order and were not even done correctly (for example we ordered juice specifically without sugar but got it with). The food we got 1 1/2 - 2 hours after we ordered (but not at the same time). One of our friends even had to leave and cancel her order, because it took way too long and she had to leave hungry. Then one dish (fish) was still missing and we asked about that, we were told that the fish was finished (would have been nice to know that 2 hours prior when we made our order). We were told we could just change our order. Not wanting to wait for another two hours, we just went to the counter to pay immediately. Then we pointed all of that out, the waiters reacted very unfriendly and unreasonably. Because of that very bad service I did not want to pay for the juices which they got wrong, but instead of being understanding and offering a good discount for the whole group, we had to argue with them and they still made us pay half the price for juices. Very disappointed, shocked and hungry we left the restaurant. Additionally the food we got was not even worth the wait and price. To sum up: i would highly advise against a visit to this restaurant.

Harmony and serene vibes at this unique bar restaurant .
I had a wonderful early dinner at 5pm , Naem Khao (special tasty fried rice served with banana flower,selection of green leaves & fresh herbs ) .
Fantastic view from this bar with 3 storey building , ground floor -mainly dining place , 1st floor wooden flooring with 10-12 seating and 2nd floor with 40 seatings and far view of the surrounding .Perfect for whole night gathering in nice music !
The owner ,Mr Sammie is superb friendly to a stand he brought me to his land -a sooner future home stay and dormitory by the nam hoon river ! Where i think it would be a nice organic farm n stay in future!
Wish him all the best !

Unfortunately, I can't recommend this restaurant to anyone. My friends and I each ordered a meal and drinks but only one drink came straight away. The other beverages took 1.5 hours to arrive, one was missing, and the others were made incorrectly(with sugar added instead of not). One of our group even had to leave early because otherwise she wouldn't have been able to keep an appointment. So if you have plans for later, don't choose this restaurant.
After 2 hours the food arrived. However, one person didn't get any food because the fish was out and the waiter "forgot to tell us" after asking them. Instead, I was forced to eat rice with bottled sauce afer asking for sauce. The other food was not worth the price either. Better go to the local restaurants in the neighbourhood.
As we were very dissatisfied with the service, we asked if we could have a drink refunded after all these mistakes, but the staff were very unreasonable and unfriendly. In the end, we were able to get a small discount on the drink and left the restaurant hungry and shocked.

We visited this place twice, in the evenings to have some drinks and it was almost empty. Haven’t tried the food. The owner is friendly, but the atmosphere is meh. I liked the bar at the other end of the bridge better.

Went here 2 nights in a row because we loved the vibe so much, Sammy (the manager/owner?) is so lovely and welcoming, always smiling, the red curry and vegetarian bbq was delicious and the mojitos are great!
Good vibes as a bar, not a good place to eat.
Nice seating spread over two levels, and the only pool table we've seen in Nong Khiaw. Cocktails (2 for 50k during happy hour) were nice but nothing special.
However, the food is bland and overpriced. There are many better places to eat in the town. My fried rice was tasteless and beef was very overcooked. My girlfriend had the bamboo soup and couldn't finish it.
Did not eat here but had the cocktails during happy hour. 50k for 2 of the Lao whisky cocktails. All the ones I tried were delicious probably the best I've had so far on my trip in South East Asia.

Very cool bar with a very good atmosphere, which also includes a pool table :)
The food is great, and the happy hour is very welcoming! Spent here every night while I'm here in Nong Khiaw.
