Mámi Cocktails occupies a stretch of Xuân Thủy where the bar tables themselves open the conversation — mahjong tiles sealed between twin glass slabs, bedazzled tequila bottles catching the light, walls painted a deep emerald. An opaque glass ceiling bathes the main bar in diffused afternoon light when doors open at 4 PM, giving early arrivals a noticeably different atmosphere from the DJ-driven late-night crowd.
Happy hour at 50% off draws the after-work contingent, while the kitchen sends out tapas calibrated for drinking rather than dining: pistachio croquettes arrive creamy and rich, and bò kho empanadas deliver braised beef flavor through a shatteringly crisp shell — two dishes that appear in enough repeat-visit accounts to count as the kitchen's signature moves. Portions are deliberately small, meant to pace a long session rather than anchor it.
Staff are a consistent theme across reviews: attentive without being formal, willing to improvise custom mocktails and coordinate a surprise birthday cake mid-evening. That kind of responsiveness is harder to replicate than a well-designed interior.
What separates this bar from Thao Dien's other cocktail options is the range of registers it can hold — photogenic enough to satisfy the Instagram impulse, relaxed enough for a two-hour conversation, and with enough late-night energy from the sound system to sustain a proper evening. The outdoor bar seats, slightly apart from the interior, draw the crowd that wants open air without leaving the bar. Operating until 1 AM on weeknights and 2 AM on Thursdays through Saturdays, it works equally as a pre-dinner warm-up or a destination in its own right.
Love the layout with the outdoor bar seating, perfect for casual drinking and chatting. It was my friend’s birthday and they were so nice to create us custom mocktails and brought out a surprise birthday cake for my friend! :) a beautiful experience!
Highly recommend to go when it’s happy hour , the cocktail is more cheaper with 50% off. The food portion is quite small , the cocktails are very tasty and unique
The bar tables got mahjong pieces sandwiched between two slabs of glass. They even got bedazzled bottles of tequila and walls dyed a rich shade of emerald. 10/10 taking this as my home design inspo. This one is going to be short and sweet. Get the pistachio croquettes and bò kho empanada. Those two are stand-outs; one is creamy and unctuous, the other a flavor bomb. The bò kho juice within the empanada will probably awaken something in you, alongside the shatteringly crisp shell and zesty chimichurri. Also, get the drinks, literally anything, you cannot really go wrong here. TL;DR Drinks: 8.5/10 Food: 8/10 (you go there to drink more than to get full, so keep that in mind)
Our favorite stop in Thảo Điền! Mami Bar always delivers a great vibe, the staff are super friendly, the place is cool, and the drinks are consistently good. It’s the perfect spot to relax or kick off a night out. The only thing that could be improved is the sound system, which needs a little adjustment to match the otherwise great atmosphere. Still, it’s a go-to place we love coming back to!
Came to this Mámi Cocktails - Kitchen & Bar in Thảo Điền at 5pm. an amazing bar counter decorated with more than 100 of Mahjong chess and lovely daylight coming through an opaque glass ceiling
