Ho Chi Minh City (or Saigon) is not only known for its street food and coffee — it also has a growing cocktail culture. Whether you like your drinks fruity, strong, or beautifully presented, Saigon has plenty of options.
Here are five great places in and around District 1 where you can enjoy cocktails in different styles — from rooftop bars to hidden lounges and local favorites.
1. A Late-Night Spot with Seafood and Cocktails
Location: District 1, multiple branches
Open: 24/7
Vibe: Casual, open-air, lively atmosphere with a wide drink menu
If you're walking along Bui Vien or De Tham street at night and looking for a drink, you'll find several casual restaurants serving both seafood and cocktails late into the night.
One of the more consistent and popular places in this area offers classic cocktails like Mojito, Blue Hawaii, Long Island, and Espresso Martini — often paired with crab, shellfish, or hotpot. It’s open all night, making it a great option after other bars close.

4. Acoustic Bar – Live Music with Local Spirit
