Buddha Bar Thao Dien is always my go-to place whenever I’m in Thao Dien. The vibe never disappoints, relaxed, warm, and familiar, and it honestly reminds me of Irish pubs back in New Jersey with the wooden floors and laid-back atmosphere. It’s the kind of spot you can drop into without overthinking it. My usual order is a Tiger draught, cold and easy to drink. For food, the spring rolls are consistently good, and the patatas bravas are a favorite too. Simple comfort food, good drinks, and a place I keep coming back to.


Buddha Bar - Bar & grill in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

이 장소에 대해
Thao Dien에서 주 7일 새벽 4시까지 영업하면서 제대로 된 인도 음식까지 갖춘 바는 많지 않다 — Buddha Bar가 동네의 여느 엑스팻 술집들과 차별화되는 지점이 바로 그 조합이다. 공간은 넉넉하며, 나무 바닥과 트인 전면 구역이 편안한 분위기를 자아내고, 주말에는 안쪽 룸에 활기가 더해진다. 포켓볼 테이블 두 대, 다트보드, 셔플보드가 라운드 사이사이 흥을 이어준다.
인도 음식은 진짜 놀라운 부분이다. 카레는 원하는 매운 정도에 맞춰 나오고, chicken tikka는 언제나 안정적인 완성도를 보여주며, 갈릭 naan은 리뷰마다 빠지지 않고 언급된다. 셰프가 인도 출신이라는 점이 결과물에 고스란히 드러난다. 그 외에도 스프링롤과 patatas bravas가 바 스낵을 채우며, 더 든든한 한 끼를 원하는 이들을 위해 pizza와 steak로 이어지는 폭넓은 메뉴도 준비되어 있다.
대부분의 저녁에는 라이브 음악이 흘러나오는데 — 주로 솔로 보컬리스트가 무대에 선다 — 단순한 스포츠 바보다 훨씬 따뜻한 분위기를 만들어낸다. 여러 대의 스크린이 주요 스포츠 경기를 중계해, 굳이 Bùi Viện까지 이동하지 않아도 차가운 생맥주 한 잔에 편안한 시간을 보내려는 단골들을 끌어들인다. 직원들은 세심하다는 평판이 꾸준하며, 사이공의 더운 계절에는 빵빵한 에어컨도 실질적인 장점이다.
손님 구성은 엑스팻과 외국인 방문객이 주를 이루며, 분위기는 시끌벅적하거나 유행을 좇는 것과는 거리가 멀고 여유로운 아이리시 펍에 가깝다. 늦은 시간까지 운영하면서 다양한 장르의 음식과 라이브 엔터테인먼트, 스포츠를 한 공간에서 즐길 수 있는 동네 아지트로서, Buddha Bar가 충성도 높은 단골층을 쌓아온 데는 그만한 이유가 있다.
리뷰
It’s really fun, everyone - definitely worth going. There’s live music in the evening, and the singer is a Filipina , she sings really well. The food and drinks are quite good, and the bartenders are friendly. The bar isn’t as wild or loud as the ones on Bùi Viện, but overall it’s great if you want to chill and meet foreigners
Kind of an above average dive here. Actually came for the Indian food menu, but evidently the cook went back home, so I settled for something else. That's something I normally don't do - generally I walk when such occurs. Had a Thai Beef Salad and a Pulled Pork Sandwich that was supposed to be Asian style - it wasn't. I'm sure they gave me the BBQ style Pulled Pork Sandwich but who knows. Meat was tasty, but I didn't like the sandwich as a whole and left most of it on the plate. I did think the Thai Beef salad was very good and ate it all. Service was good but I don't know, kind of timid - not sure if that's the right word. Maybe the service was what it was because I intimidate people. I think I didn't smile enough tonight as someone kind of obliquely said I think for me to hear.. It's a middle-aged expatriate clientele. I am such (leaning towards elderly), and I've always been awkward around people like me. Yeah I don't belong here, so I'll leave here and won't return.
Great service. Nice atmosphere. A place to hang out with friends or meet new people.
For a Sports Pub a surprisingly extensive Food & Drinks Menu, from Indian Food over Pizza to Steak.
