Cocktail bars in Ho Chi Minh City concentrate in District 1, especially around Đồng Khởi and Bùi Viện. Phạm Viết Chánh, on the Bình Thạnh border, has grown into a popular bar strip. District 2 (Thảo Điền) adds quieter neighbourhood spots. Styles range from speakeasy-style hidden bars to rooftop lounges and Vietnamese-ingredient mixology. Many bars build menus around local botanicals, fruit, and rice spirits. This section maps the city's cocktail bars by district. Each entry lists location, hours, and the venue's specialty.
