Weekdays are no longer boring with 4 bars allowing you to travel to countries right in Vietnam.
A good bar is the sum of many factors, from drinks, bartenders, food, music, and even the bar’s style. If you’re bored of going to bars just to drink regular cocktails, allow yourself to travel around countries with 4 suggestions.
1. Dram Bar – European retro style
Dram – derived from the Greek word “drachma” – is a term coined by the Scots for a glass of whiskey. It is known that the cocktail menu pays homage to classic cocktails – modern, classic, apothecary, and forgotten.
Designed in an elegant classic style, the bar offers a cozy atmosphere with an extensive list of cocktails and spirits mixed according to diners’ preferences and moods.
The shop has a drink menu just for ladies every Tuesday, with new names like Hi-Mai, Girl Is On Fire or PS Dram Loves You. Dram Bar’s monthly menu also often updates new drinks created by the bartenders here.
Address: 2 Dang Huu Pho, Thao Dien Ward, District 2 (1st floor)
Happy Hour: 50% discount on Dram classic cocktails every day from 18:00 – 20:00
Opening hours: 18:00 – 00:00
2. Nhau Nhau – 1960s Saigon style
Returning to the nostalgic style from the 1960s of old Saigon, Nhau Nhau means gathering, gathering, and “drinking” together in the middle of Saigon’s bustling, magnificent night. The 1960s were the flourishing period of rock music, so the design here has dark colors and Vietnamese rock album fronts in wooden photo frames.
The cuisine at the bar is quite diverse, from traditional Vietnamese menus to Japanese, Spanish, American, and finally Thai. In addition to whiskey and tropical cocktails, the restaurant also serves draft beer, rice wine, and sake.

Address: 89 Ton That Dam, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1

3. The Racha Room – Try Asian-style cocktails
The Racha Room was born with the desire to bring a new breeze to Asian cuisine in general and Thai cuisine in particular. The word ‘Racha’ in Thai also means ‘for the King’, meaning the shop will bring memorable and unique experiences to you.
The cocktails have been created with the same characteristics: a combination of unique local Vietnamese spices and seasonal fruits and ingredients. The restaurant’s culinary menu also shows the diversity of Southeast Asian street food.
If you like Thai food but are afraid of spicy food, this is the choice for you. Some signature dishes include pan-fried Australian beef dumplings with sesame sauce, red duck curry, and tamarind-braised pork ribs.
Currently, Racha Room Thao Dien District 2 is offering a 20% discount (from April 12 – 26) when going at noon with a set menu built for individuals or a la carte menu.
