Cocktail Bar, District 3 Saigon

The Cocktail Programme

Classics. Originals. Things that taste like somewhere.

Every drink starts from where it should. The canon. Negronis stirred to ratio. Sours balanced without shortcuts. Highballs built on ice that matters. Then what's around us: lychee from the delta, pandan from the wet market, yuzu, Vietnamese rum. Saigon Spirit in the Pornstar Martini.

Seventeen classics and originals. Four Spritz. Four Mocktails that aren't an afterthought. The menu rotates with the season, not the trend cycle. When something leaves, something better takes its place. None of it means much if you're drinking alone — it's built for the friend who's late and the toast that runs long.

Espresso Martini: Vietnamese coffee meets the canon
Lychee Martini: Mekong Delta, Vodka & Lychee Liqueur
Panpan Spritz: Saigon Pandan, Lime, Coconut Soda
Negroni: Gin, Campari, Sweet Vermouth
Manhattan: Rye, Vermouth Ngọt, Angostura
Mocktails: four that earn their place

The Wine List

House pours worth pouring. A list worth exploring.

House pours that deserve to be poured by the glass. Celestia Chardonnay from Perricoota, Australia. Clean, mineral, easy to commit to (140k glass / 600k bottle). Celestia Shiraz for the same reasons in red. Beyond the house: natural and organic selections from Sicily and the Rhône Valley, old world bottles from Rioja and Burgundy, Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, a Napa Cabernet when the occasion calls. The bottle list is long enough to be interesting, short enough to trust. Order a glass or open a bottle for the table — it's built to be shared, not sipped alone.

House pours: Chardonnay & Shiraz, Perricoota, Australia
Natural & organic: Sicilian Nero d'Avola, Côtes du Rhône
Old world: Rioja, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Marlborough
Sparkling: Prosecco DOC, Champagne Charles Mignon
By the glass from 140k, bottles from 600k

The Space

A bar you want to stay at.

The bar counter is Carrara marble on black fluted cement. Slatted timber ceiling overhead, warm, unvarnished, original to the building. The encaustic tile runs the full length of the ground floor, from the café to here. When the light shifts into evening, the pendant lamps do the rest.

The Garden is one of the genuinely open-air spots left in Quận 3. Pull chairs together, spread out, rearrange as the night requires — nobody's stopping you. Works for small groups, overdue catch-ups, a first drink with someone who has good taste. The kind of bar that earns the second round without trying to.

Hours: Mon 07:30–17:00 · Tue–Sun 07:30–24:00
Address: 218c Pasteur, Xuân Hoà
Quận 3, Ho Chi Minh City
Reservations: Recommended for groups of 6+
