The best lounge bars Vietnam

A rare place in Hanoi, where the spaces are beautifully designed. With several floors, each of which offers a different experience, this wine bar is pleasantly busy, both intimate and friendly. The décor is a mix of raw materials: metal, wood and waxed concrete. For a gallant dinner (interesting menu with excellent meats) and music, for an evening with friends on the outdoor terrace or for the pleasure of tasting a good Bordeaux alone while watching the night fall on the western lake...

In an alley, a charming place, in an old house decorated in a refined, modern and warm way. A café-lounge-restaurant in a relaxed style to be frequented at any time of the day. Fusion cuisine (couscous, quinoa...), light and healthy with vegan formulas and/or guaranteed gluten-free. Vietnamese dishes do not hold the top of the bill, priority is given to essentially western dishes. A perfect address also for a gourmet break with pastry tasting. Terrace. Peaceful and musical atmosphere.

Located on the ^28th floor, this panoramic bar offers a superb view of Saigon. It's a rather flashy luxury, but the promoters of the place have achieved their objective of making it a sight to behold... A wide choice of spirits and cocktails made by artists in the field. Light and sound and DJs from all over the world liven up this exclusive temple of Saigon nightlife. Des événements sont organisés très régulièrement (consulter leur page Facebook). You can also dine well in the restaurant. Essentiellement grillades et fruits de mer au menu.

Nice nocturnal atmosphere for this bar, located near the Opera, and frequented by all the people who matter in the city: artists, creators, idlers and expatriates... The establishment and its owner have even been honoured by the New York Times. The setting is very seductive in the evening, all in chiaroscuro with an original and warm decoration, which favours intimacy. The menu is not very extensive (preferably after dinner). On the other hand, there is a wide choice of drinks, with or without alcohol. Ideal for a drink in the evening.

Very pleasant café-lounge which offers an artistic and muffled atmosphere. The colonial villa serves as an exhibition space for Vietnamese artists, photographers, sculptors, painters... Manzi aims to promote contemporary arts, inspire critical thinking and nurture a culture of debate through the collaboration of local artists and intellectuals. At any time of the day, a place to come and relax, work on your computer, meet people. The art space is financed by an art store and a café.

This is an iconic spot in Hanoi. A popular spot for tourists, photographers and Instagramers, it lets you enjoy coffee, cold drinks and lunch while immortalizing your stay in Hanoi thanks to one of the city's icons, the Long Biên Bridge. The Serein Café & Lounge boasts one of the finest views of the bridge. The various terraces allow you to appreciate the bustle of life around the bridge. On Saturday evenings, live bands provide even more entertainment. High prices.

Located in the chic restaurant district, this lounge bar has several qualities to offer. First of all, the setting is elegant, with dimmed lights, long bar and soft music before the arrival of the DJ around 9pm. The cocktails offered are excellent, and you can even take advantage of the happy hour between 5 and 8 pm. Habibi means "my love" in Arabic, so we won't be surprised that Saigon has also succumbed to the shisha fashion... A recommended place to wait for your table if you dine in one of the many establishments on the street.

Superbly located on the ^24th floor of the Hotel Des Arts, the Social Club is one of the city's most popular venues. It has a chic, casual atmosphere with music provided by local and international DJs. Excellent cocktails, top-notch international cuisine and an electric atmosphere on weekends. The view of Ho Chi Minh City is simply spectacular. Brunch is regularly organized on Sundays. Elegant attire is required and reservations are often essential if you wish to enjoy this unique place.
