Overpriced and overrated, you're basically paying for the aesthetics and fancy toilet. Classic drinks are 290 which is above average for many of the cocktail 🍸🍹 bars in the city especially on a Saturday. They are trying hard to be cool and edgy by not having a menu. Drinks were nothing extraordinary. They seated us upstairs and served and then left us (didn't ask for feedback nor check up on us) so staff definitely need better hospitality training. Staff do speak English. They have upstairs and downstairs. Go next door to Off-dry Cocktail & Wine Bar, went there many times and they are consistent with everything (cheaper and worth every penny).

Interesting Speakeasy bar. Starting with an “are we even at the right place?” entrance, then straight into an “omakase” style cocktail experience that keeps things deliberately unpredictable. Very London speakeasy energy. Staff were English speaking and smooth with service, which made the whole experience easy and welcoming. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but you’re paying for the concept as much as the cocktails. Frank Sinatra and Ben E. King on loop, dim lights, and drinks that felt like a little surprise each round—hard to complain! Expensive? Yes. Worth it for the experience? Also yes.
Cool spot. Must try. We did end up in the smokers lounge so as non smokers its was a little unpleasant but we still loved the atmosphere. The drinks were excellent and wait staff were great. We were advised about the smokers lounge and decided to give it a go anyway so there are other options if you can’t handle it. Would go back.
This is a very stylish bar in Saigon. The entrance is a bit unusual and might leave you a little confused at first, but it has a cozy, hideaway feel that’s quite appealing. They offer a wide variety of drinks, so you can order your favorite cocktail. Women might appreciate that the bartenders are happy to create custom cocktails based on your requests. The interior is dimly lit, and the music plays at a pleasant volume. The bartenders are down-to-earth and do their jobs well. If you suddenly feel like having a drink, come check it out.
The bartenders here are highly-skilled, and it shows in their exceptional drinks. There isn't a menu; instead, you describe your preferences, and the bartenders craft a personalised cocktail for you. Of course, you may order the classic cocktails if you're less adventurous. Hint: My friend claims this places serves the best espresso martini in the world (pictured). I quite liked the seating area upstairs, which is more cozy and intimate with comfortable sofas.
