Drinking & Healing

The bar has a great atmosphere and nice decor. The Sat. night DJ really adds to the vibe and is definitely a highlight. One thing I found a bit puzzling — why is water only provided at the bar seats and not at the regular tables? As for the drinks… well, that’s a matter of personal taste.

The bar is cool, but the service was sadly enough not on point. No water given (which should be the case for any cocktail bar nowadays), the menu was really difficult to use and we got no extra explanation when the cocktails were served. Even though no one was ordering it did take quite a while before the drinks arrived. The drinks in itself were decent but certainly not up to standard. Strange that they made the Asia's top list over some other bars in the country

Hidden speakeasy bar, located off a small passage way, in the Centre of HCMC, near the Bitexo Tower. Great atmosphere and vibe. Cocktails were imaginative and creative, and not overpriced. Definitely the best bar that I’ve tried so far, in the City. Listed in the top One Hundred Bars in Asia.

Recently ranked among Asia’s Top 100 Bars, this spot has earned its place with a distinctive industrial design and a cool, understated vibe. The décor is a striking mix of raw concrete, exposed metal, and warm lighting, creating an ambiance that feels effortlessly modern yet inviting. It’s an ideal setting for both casual meetups and more refined evenings out. The service was on point—attentive and friendly without being overbearing. The staff clearly knows their craft, offering insightful recommendations and ensuring a smooth experience throughout the night. The cocktails were well-made, showcasing solid technique and fresh ingredients. Presentation was thoughtful, fitting the bar’s edgy aesthetic. However, while the drinks were good, they didn’t quite have that standout, wow element you might expect from a bar making it onto such a prestigious list. The flavors were enjoyable but played it safe, leaving you wishing for a bit more creativity or boldness. This bar excels in creating an impressive atmosphere and delivering a reliable experience, but it’s more about solid execution than breaking new ground. A visit is certainly worthwhile, especially if you appreciate industrial design and a laid-back vibe, but don’t expect it to redefine your cocktail expectations.

The food menu surprised me as the burgers were very good. They are currently promoting Vietnamese cuisine and we had complimentary fresh Vietnamese spring rolls. The drinks were amazing and the bartenders are creative to make customised cocktails based on your preference.

Such an amazing experience here, located in the heart of city centre. Drinks well crafted and interior well designed. Our bartender, Lâm, made conversations memorable and would come back again! Recommended

I recently visited Drinking & Healing bar and had an excellent experience. The vibe was fantastic, with a relaxed yet energetic atmosphere that made for a perfect evening. I tried both the Negroni and the White Negroni, and both were superbly crafted—balanced, flavorful, and refreshing. This bar is definitely a spot to revisit for anyone who appreciates a well-made cocktail in a great setting. Highly recommended!
