Saigon Saigon Bar @ Caravelle Hotel

What do you know? We splurged on cocktails at Saigon Bar, at the 9th floor of the 5-star Caravelle Hotel, downtown Saigon. And we are definitely not sorry!

The place is awesome and so are the cocktails they serve. We had a ginger and basil Margarita and a French75, plus complimentary snacks (an exotic and tasty mix of nuts).This iconic bar has an elegant setting, comfy armchairs, and great 180° views to the city. They have live entertainment every night and quite a comprehensive menu with foods on offer.Being an open air bar, they don't provide A/C, but you won't miss it. Try to dress more classy when you go there - a 5-star place invites for something smarter than a pair of shorts.

It's expensive, but not deadly expensive. We paid 168,000 VND for each cocktail (10% Tax not included). The service fee was written down on the tab - 5% or 10% I believe.

Great experience - recommended each time you want to impress friends coming over to visit you in Saigon :D.
