Not all introverts avoid bars—sometimes, they’re just looking for a quieter spot to unwind after a long day. While many people gravitate toward the lively energy of bustling bars, introverts often prefer more relaxed, laid-back spaces to de-stress in peace. So, where can they go? Here are Nightlife Vietnam’s top picks for chill bars perfect for a tranquil night out.

Telephone Bar

This hidden gem is tucked away behind two red-painted public phone booths—no flashing lights, no signboards, just pure mystery. Concealed from the bustling streets of Saigon, it embodies the true essence of a secret bar. Its design draws inspiration from the iconic Kingsman series, evoking the charm of 20th-century Europe with dark red wooden wine cabinets, luxurious leather seating, and an air of intrigue.

The menu highlights light wines and expertly crafted cocktails, guaranteed to please even the most discerning palates. Unsure what to try? Simply share your preferences with the bartender, who will craft a cocktail tailored just for you.

Dram Bar

Embracing a modern European style, Dram Bar exudes luxury with its grand royal-inspired architecture and meticulously crafted interior details that captivate at every turn. A standout feature is the elegant wooden cabinets showcasing an impressive whisky collection, making it a dream destination for whisky enthusiasts. While the menu offers a variety of cocktails, mocktails, and craft beers, the true stars here are the signature Scotch whisky cocktails, each crafted to highlight the unique allure of this timeless spirit.

LABAR

LABAR, a small gem in District 1, combines a fresh, modern vibe with touches of Vietnamese culture reflected in its artistic design and décor. The best spot here is right at the bar, where you can watch the bartenders work their magic, crafting elaborate, impromptu cocktails while sharing stories behind each creation. What sets LABAR apart is the freedom it offers—you can challenge the bartenders to create a custom cocktail just for you, blending different spirits on the spot to suit your unique taste. It’s an experience as creative as it is delicious.
