The Story

About This Place

High Tide occupies a corner of Nguyễn Văn Hưởng with a layout that reads more backyard than bar — open-sided, airy, with outdoor seating that stays comfortable even when the room fills on weekends. The crowd skews heavily expat, drawn by a straightforward offer: multiple beers on tap (Asahi among them), a pool table, dart board, and a bank of large screens cycling through live sports. It is one of the few spots in Thao Dien where a match is the actual point of showing up.

The menu sits firmly in pub territory. The battered seabass fish & chips is a reliable anchor, and the chicken wings — six pieces, choice of sauce — draw consistent praise in reviews. The smashed burger uses Australian beef, double-patted with caramelised bacon onions and pickled cucumber. The Jalapeno Bacon Poutine layers fried potato, meat sauce, mozzarella, cheddar, and chili into something intended for sharing. Snacks like truffle fries, jalapeño poppers, and lamb rolls with tzatziki fill out the drinking side of the menu.

Weekend hours begin at 11:30 AM on Saturday and Sunday, which makes it a viable lunch stop rather than a strictly evening destination. Weekdays open at 3 PM, with the outdoor section coming into its own once the evening heat eases. The ownership is present and attentive — a detail that appears often enough in reviews to be consistent rather than coincidental.

Relative to other Thao Dien options, High Tide is not competing on gastronomy. The draw is atmosphere: an unpretentious open-air space where the bar is the centrepiece and the food is substantial enough to sustain a long session. For a group wanting to catch a match, play a few frames of pool, and drink without navigating a cocktail list, it covers the ground reliably.

Nice place to watch live sports events on big screen. Love the outdoor area. Prices are a little high (tide) especially wine, 180k for a glass....outch and I had the worse quesadilla of my life 😑 Thanks god they have beers, fair price, and Asahi at 60k for a glass. Waitresses are VERY pushy. At the exact moment you finish, they are over you asking you for "one more"....Bui Vien feelings.

We came here on a Wednesday night when they were advertising 50% off for steak and when we arrived at 7 PM, they were sold out. They need to update the menu because several things are still showing on it, but they no longer serve - tacos or hotdogs. Overall, a good atmosphere and about seven beers on tap.
