The 31 Best Restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam | Eater

"As you walk through the dark, tiny entrance and up the vintage stairwell to Summer Experiment, you know you’re in for a truly unique experience. This cocktail bar — ranked on Asia’s 100 Best Bars list in 2021 — is the brainchild of Australian expat and noted HCMC barman Jay Moir, who showcases his love for bringing the garden to the bar. The extensive drink menu is filled with colorful concoctions such as the Purple Potato Madness, an inventive take on the espresso martini with rum, sweet potato puree, and cold brew. Along with a strong farm-to-bar approach, limited use of plastic, and zero-waste cocktail creations, the team at Summer Experiment works closely with local sustainability programs that support suppliers and growers." - Linh Phan

Felt like a speakeasy bar, as it was rather difficult to locate, but a friend who goes there regularly introduced it to us and it was pretty ok, only thing was that you needed to climb a few flight of stairs to reach it. The food and service staff were lovely and the cocktail creation pretty colourful i must say. A nice place to chill and get away from the crowd.

Summer Experiment is my favorite bar in Saigon. I’ve been here so many times and could always find something – a familiar cocktail that I already know well, or something new and more creative, because their menu has a big variety of choices. No matter if at the bar or at a table inside or outside, I always had good talks with my company because the atmosphere here is kind of young, but not too hippy, and the noise of people talking is generally not too disturbing. Its sister, Layla, is way too loud for me, to be honest. I haven’t ever tried the food here, but so far I’m very happy with my experience with the drinks. The staff are very kind and supportive. I liked the barkeepers and their energy when they were working a lot. So I really enjoyed sitting by the bar sometimes to observe them.

Amazing cocktails, very attentive service by staff who notice when you need a top up, our mixologist came over to explain the menu in detail and describe the flavor notes on each page. I couldn't fault any of the cocktails I ordered, they were all delicious. A very unique menu that really helps this cocktail bar stand out from the rest in ho chi minh city.

Absolutely love this bar. We just found on Google and happen to come at happy hour. Great drinks of course, but also a very cool vibe! Beautiful decor, furniture, and outdoor space. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Really sweet. They seem happy to be here! Very comfortable place. Wish we could have stayed longer. The Coco Negroni and Picnic with the Tomato - and the chicken bites- were yummy... But I have never seen or tasted a cocktail with squid ink in it and dried squid as a garnish- super fun, creative and delicious! We loved it! Thank you!

My friends & I were delighted with all the cocktails we ordered. As a craft cocktail lover, this bar hits the sweet spot. The bartenders were super fun to talk to as we all sat by the bar. 10/10 would come back here.

Well-deserved top rated bar in HCM. Affordable and delicious cocktails, extensive variety too and nice ambiance. I’m from Malaysia and this level of a cocktail bar would easily cost 2-3x more in KL. We were definitely floored by the quality of the drinks & service 🤌🏼 Note: It’s on the 3rd floor & you’ll have to climb up a few flights of stairs Recommend to make a reservation too

It is quite pleasant, not too crowded or noisy. If you enjoy experiencing taste buds with cocktails, this is a worthy return option. The menu is amazing!!! Extremely creative and easier to drink than expected. More importantly, the restaurant space is very relaxing, the staff is cute, the bartender is passionate about cocktails and has good taste. Ultimately, it is suitable for both soothing the soul and bursting with emotions.
