My story
Two cultures.
One welcoming table.
Hi, I’m Danny. I was born in Vietnam, but I grew up in Amsterdam. Growing up in a Western culture shaped who I am today and taught me the importance of openness, hospitality, respect and bringing people together.
“I hope every guest leaves with new friendships, unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation for Vietnam.”
Chapter One — Between Two Cultures
I was born in Vietnam, but I grew up in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Growing up between Vietnamese and Western cultures shaped the way I look at food, hospitality and people.
In Europe, I learned to love relaxed pub culture: sitting around a table, sharing food and drinks, watching football and talking with people you may never have met before.
Vietnam taught me something equally important. Food and genuine hospitality bring people together. A shared meal is never only about what is on the plate; it is also about conversation, connection and making someone feel welcome.
Years later, I returned to Vietnam and made Da Nang my home. I wanted to bring those two worlds together in one warm, social place. That place became Cheers Pub & BBQ.
Chapter Two — Danny from Cheers
My vision for Cheers has never been to open just another bar. I wanted to create a social place where locals, expats and travellers could meet, and where people arriving alone, with friends or with family would all feel welcome.
You can arrive alone, sit at the bar, order a beer and start talking to the person beside you. You can come with your family for dinner, meet friends for food and drinks, watch an important football match or spend the evening enjoying live music.
Sharing food, beer, football and music gives people a reason to come together. Guests from different countries, cultures and backgrounds can meet around the same table.
Cheers is where the relaxed spirit of European pub culture meets Vietnamese hospitality. I hope people do not only know the name Cheers; I hope they know the people and the story behind it.
