In the old town of Hoi An in central Vietnam, there's a themed shop entirely dedicated to the British comedy \"Mr. Bean,\" called \"Mr Bean Bar Hoi An.\" The neon sign out front is the face of Bean, played by Rowan Atkinson, and the interior is filled with wall-to-wall posters and TVs playing Bean footage. Sophie (42), a travel creator from Paris, happened to find it while walking around town and introduced it, and its all-out worldview has become a talking point. Located in the old town about 20 minutes from Da Nang, it's easy to drop by along with sightseeing in Hoi An.<\/p>\n
The thoroughness of the decor is the core of this shop. A neon sign shaped like Bean's face hangs on the front, and the interior is covered wall-to-wall with posters. TVs keep playing Mr. Bean footage, and a giant cutout of Atkinson's face sits at the DJ booth. Staff wear T-shirts and caps featuring the character. Even the restroom is decorated with Bean's face, so from the moment you step in you're wrapped in the worldview.<\/p>\n
The one who spread the shop is Sophie (42), a travel content creator from Paris. She says she happened upon the shop while walking through Hoi An's old town. She describes the shop's atmosphere as \"playful, nostalgic, and memorable.\" The discovery story of a tourist wandering in by chance and being surprised by an unexpected themed shop has led to its spread on social media.<\/p>\n
It operates as a bar serving cocktails, local beer, and Vietnamese food. It also holds events such as live-music nights and theme parties. It's located in a corner of Hoi An's old town. Here are the basics.<\/p>\n
