D Chill RoofTop Bar

Our favorite way to start any evening in Saigon is watching the whole city light up from above, and D Chill is one of the places which has an unobstructed view of the signature Saigon skylight.

Though located on the rooftop of a local hotel, quite overwhelmed by other colorful stores and restaurants, the bar always took people's breath away once they stepped into the open air. Their diverse menu of drinks, from beers, cocktails, mocktails to juice and snacks with uncredible reasonable prices for the location, as well as the cool breeze and trendy music will make your evening become one of the most special moments of the day.

Opening hours: 4pm-1am
Address: 15th Floor, 302-304 Võ Văn Kiệt street, Cô Giang ward, district 1

A bar we would like to recommend to you if you like live music, but prefer small, intimate places is Bloom Bar in district 1. Located on Nguyen Thiep street, close to the popular Nguyen Hue walking street, the bar is like a nice cozy nest for you to stop by to have a rest from all the noise and hide away from the world for a moment.

Bloom is popular for their Jazz night and HongKong music night. The small space makes room for closeness between the guests, the staffs and the performers, creating a feeling like enjoying a cozy show in a friend's living room in the middle of the city center.

Opening hours: 5pm-2am
Address: 14 Nguyễn Thiệp street, Bến Nghé ward, district 1
