Jazz bars in Ho Chi Minh City are a small scene built around a handful of long-running rooms and a rotating set of local musicians. District 1 holds most of them, within walking distance of each other, ranging from proper listening rooms with nightly sets to bars where the music runs alongside dinner and drinks. A few smaller venues in District 3 and Thảo Điền host live sets on set nights rather than every evening. Most bands start between 8pm and 9pm and play two sets, and cover charges are uncommon. This section maps jazz bars in Ho Chi Minh City by district. Each entry lists location, hours, and when the music starts.
