 Ho Chi Minh City NightlifeIts nightlife gained notoriety during the Vietnam War for its
girly-bars but a lot has changed recently thanks to Vietnam''s
tourist boom. Ho Chi Minh City''s nightlife has grown and
diversified considerable, and while not rivalling the range of
entertainment of other Southeast Asian destinations, it''s still
guaranteed to do the job. With everything from rooftop bars and lounges to pubs and
nightclubs playing all the latest dance hits, travellers looking to
let loose on a night out on the town will have plenty of options in
this bustling, neon third-world city. Start off at the Rex Hotel''s a trendy Rooftop Garden for drinks
where you can watch the sunset over the busy streets where the
flicker of streetlights and neon begin to come to life before
heading out to District 1 where the funky bars and fashionable
clubs can be found, particularly on the streets around Dong Khoi
and Hai Ba Trung. Travellers should also head to the Apocolypse Now
bar and club, a popular spot for expats and other westerners, where
party goers can make use of the bar, dance floor pool tables and
café. The International Tourist Club disco and karaoke bar in the New
World Hotel is a must for a night of fun and singing, or head over
to the The Metallic Bar on Ba Huyen Thanh Quan in District 3 for
live gigs from local rock bands or for something completely
different, Bonsai Cruise on Nguyen Van Thu St. in District 1
operates Saigon River dinner cruises, the perfect way to relax and
spend a lazy evening. Travellers should also note that many of Ho Chi Minh City''s bars
and nightclubs close early by big city standards, around midnight
or when the last customer leaves so anyone looking to keep going
until the early hours of the morning will be sorely
disappointed. |
