I came here at night, and the place was not quite as good as I had expected. I feel like it would be much nicer during the daytime, as there is a lot of greenery around and the space would probably look more beautiful in natural light. The design and atmosphere are nice, but the seats we had were not very comfortable. We ended up just having one drink and then left.

Reviews
Found this place by chance while traveling, and I’m so glad I did! Great cocktails, tasty food, and such a chill vibe. The staff were warm, attentive, and spoke great English. If you’re visiting Vietnam, don’t miss this place. I’ll definitely come back next time! 🍸✨
Had nice bottles of Reisling which were nicely priced. Had the "Olive you long time Mary' which is by far the best cocktail I've had this year - tastes like a deconstructed bloody Mary which had the most delicious salty, olive foam. The staff were amazing and attentive. Great location to people watch and interior is cute. Nice place to chill with friends.
This was my second time popping into this place, and I already know I’ll be back again. Great service — the staff are friendly and helpful. The wine is excellent, and they even serve cheese the way they do in Europe. Highly recommend a visit . Thank you to the staff for their excellent service and attentiveness❤️
Discovered this cute spot in Thao Dien that’s perfect for a casual cocktail hangout. Love the vibe, relaxed and a bit playful, making it easy to settle in with friends or unwind after a long day. A great find if you’re in the area and want something low key but fun.
