Drinking & Healing - Cocktail bar in Ho Chi Minh City

What a hidden gem! I kinda want to gate keep it honestly. Great vibes, delish food and refreshing mocktails made to order. Nothing to complain.

Quality of food & drink: good Service: friendly & nice Atmosphere: good Convenient: upstairs so need to ask staff at the bar Tablet: can reserve & request before u come

The bar itself is nice, the vibe is certainly there but it feels the management has lost or loosened control of it at some point. The new recruits have a lot of training to go through before they should be allowed to work at a bar like this. The signatures are okay (some are questionable, but still rather interesting), but their execution is lacking. Quality control isn’t there either: I was served a cocktail with a gooseberry that had black part in it (rot or not I didn’t want to figure out). If you’re here for fun time - give it a go, if you’re here for the cocktails - better skip this in favour of way better ones in HCMC

Everyone was extremely hospitable, quick serving, they’re really good at creating randomly requested drinks based on customers’ likings. I had a good time there and would come back to try more.

Overall really impressed with this joint! Think cool NY loft style bar. As someone in hospitality I always find it hard to find a place I really love, this place impressed. We went on a Saturday, loved the DJ who read the room well. The staff on the bar are attentive enough and are well trained in drink making. There was a lot of floor staff and personally I think they could be a bit more attentive and be given a bit more reign to bring the vibe of the room. The crowd is very much a mix of cool young professionals chatting away and the other type that’s glued to their phones the venue can’t help that unless the floor staff really get involved and engage. Many people in the reviews have mentioned the lack of water, yer that could be improved. It’s a hot city and people love to hydrate while imbibing. But when prompted the team delivered. Price: overall I think it’s fair; people who complain about the price are looking at that bottom line. In reality you pay that extra for the setting, the ambience and the quality of the drinks. The smoking balconies are the best I’ve seen loved them. The one thing I’d really like to see change is a physical menu. There’s so much skill to a well curated and designed menu. The digital one is a jar up! Nothing worse than having to navigate another screen especially if you’re not used to the system. Also in my opinion it negates part of the soul of the place. Definitely worth the visit and look forward to visiting again.
