There's a great hostel bar in Hanoi called Hanoi Rocks Hostel which is pretty much as you describe. They have a main bar, a club, a lounge bar, and a floor of dorms, and it's all executed perfectly.
The only catch was they seemed to be harassed constantly by the police while I was there, apparently due to some sort of government inspection of the city that time. The police would come around at least once per night, and the bar had to close early at about 11pm.
So anyway even if you paid a tonne of protection to get rid of the police, you'd still have the problem of competition with the other established hostel bars.
Also in any case, you'd have a really hard time in northern Vietnam as an American (?), whatever you do try set up shop in a country that your country hasn't lost a war to. Are you planning to invest the time into learning the local language of where you build it?
Saigon could be do-able, but once again it looked pretty saturated. Da Nang might be possible, and could be near a beach.
Bali also seemed super saturated, and the other places I don't know enough about. Good luck
