    My first time ever to a French Rooftop! Cool view, nice experience with the way of life here! First time being in a place has a lot of foreign friends like this. Love the drinks there too! Will remember this place 😍

    This bar is difficult to find. The cocktail price is a bit expensive (average 200K). I ordered a pitcher (400k) and all I tasted is juice. The food is average. Their naughty fries is just normal fries with some cheese and bacon bits sprinkled on top. The seating is uncomfortable and the music is too boring. Not worth the value.

    Love the vibes and charm of this hidden gem in HCM! It is located in the rooftop of an unassuming-looking service apartment. Great view, even better music from the live spin DJ. Try their cocktails, and the Dirty Fries - great food and great fun. Card machine was down when we were there, so only cash. Service was friendly, but the place was really crowded so you might have to stand for a while before they can get you a seat.

    This bar is probably one of the best places we've been in Vietnam. It has such a cool vibe. The drinks are very well balanced and delicious. We ordered 4 different cocktails and all of them were top notch 👌. The burger Le Smash is just perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth. The falafel burger is also very delicious if you prefer vegetarian. The staff is super friendly. Overall, this place is a must when you visit HCM city.

    I really liked that place. When you get into the building, just take the lift to the 10th floor, there are not much signs in the lobby. The music is great, view is a man and the cocktails are great. Tried a few of them. Definitely visit it when in town.

    We were there after a Vietnamese friend recommended to us. It’s the perfect place to see the sunset and have a good time in Ho Chi Min. Drinks and cocktails are good and the crew gives an excellent service. We were very happy. Highly recommend. Enjoy the skyline and the sunset. LBTQ+ friendly!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️👏🏼 P.S: The manager -European- is lacking the good vibes of the team. I bet he can be more friendly to customers and the staff. Overall, all good.

  • 4/5 Yasmine A. 2 years ago on Google
    I was there for a late lunch and a couple of cocktails. A was welcomed by a staff member, seated at a more ventilated place, and advised on cocktails and food. The sunset was beautiful and the view was spectacular. The atmosphere felt a little tense at first, as I believe some sort of manager was visiting. A very grumpy individual who didn't feel the necessity to say hello even when making eye contact with customers...shy or just arrogant? Who knows? When he finally left, the tension was gone, and some life came back to the staff who were actually more relaxed, wore a broader smile and were far more efficient as a team. The staff are attentive, kind, professional and well organized on a busy ladies' night event. The food was decent, the cocktails were tasty and elegant, the music was nice too. Saigonese parties can be a little soulless but that's another debate.

    Nice spot, we went here primarily to watch the sun go down on the city. The view is great for those standing, but the walls around the bar are too high to see if you’re seated on a low/regular chair. The pricing is expensive but everything we had was very nice. The size of the burgers were very small though which for how much being charged was a bit high for what you get. I would recommend eating before going or having plans for after.

    This was my first bar in Saigon and I had a great food + drink. I visited again with my friends for longer, had a burger and multiple mocktails. This place is great for atmosphere, service and you will not leave hungry or thirsty. Music taste is on point and it’s not too loud, so you can actually hear your friends talking.

    Best rooftop bar we have been to! Breathtaking Saigon's skyline view combined with very tasty drinks. But what makes the place really unique was the music - beach and funky house set by dj Nick (🙏 thank you so much Mate for that vibe! Nostalgia!) reminded me of best Hed Kandi party. It might not the cheapest place in Saigon yet worth every dime or penny. Important tip: The place is not visible from street level. You have to enter the building and take an elevator straight straight top floor.

    Would you like to experience where a lot of the expatriates hang out at night? Look no further, Banana Mama is the spot. The drinks are delicious and the roof top atmosphere is spot on. Since a lot of expats come here, expect a welcoming staff that speaks fluent english. The vibe is very relaxing and you can actually hear the people you're with speak. I highly recommend coming here to escape from the busy places in Saigon. It's a little escape and don't be surprised if you feel like you're not even in Saigon for the moment!

    Wow it’s such a great place, a real hidden gem! The atmosphere is amazing as well as the views. The food is delicious (try the truffle burger!) and the cocktails choice is very interesting- we liked everything we tried! The manager (a French guy, unfortunately we didn’t get the name) is so cool - he finds time to chat with every visitor, super amiable. Hello from the Russian couple, hope we see you again!

    Perfect rooftop bar for meeting friends, music is on point and just enough for chitchat. Great view, good drinks in a breeze, so what we need more during a friend talk!

  • 5/5 Stefan P. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best views in the city. Prices a bit higher than your typical bar, but are reasonable considering the atmosphere.

    Craft cocktails on a lovely intimate rooftop. As long as it's not raining it's the perfect place to cool off and get off the busy street. Also with draft beer on tap. Excellent view all around. Expect to pay a bit more for beer and cocktails, since you are on a rooftop afterall.

    We felt the setting was very dirty. And the menu did not offer a great selection for the price it costs. BUT the view was stunning!

  • 5/5 Arno Q. 2 months ago on Google • 59 reviews New
    Really awesome spot. Great music, top notch service and a comfortable and calm experience. They had a DJ playing chill music, the manager/owner was engaged with everyone without being overwhelming. It was a welcoming experience. We had a few drinks and didn't stay for food but the dishes we saw coming out convinced us to go back at some point for some food. The view is incredible

  • 4/5 Teegan D. 3 months ago on Google • 36 reviews New
    A modern rooftop bar at the end of Bu Vien. Need to catch the lift inside the hotel to the 10th level. It’s an almost 360 degree view over HCM so nice for photos. Theres plenty of couches and high tables to sit at. The cocktails were good however they didn’t honour the Happy Hour service. The music started off as background noises but got louder as the hours went on, so we left just after sunset as there was a minimal food menu of burgers and a few other things.

  • 5/5 Cindy T. 3 months ago on Google • 18 reviews New
    Special cocktails were 200K each, by cash or bank transfer only. Vibes were immaculate and there was a live DJ. I prefer this to being at Bui Vien Walking Street for the past 2 days 🌝

  • 5/5 Dhruv K. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to just go chill... They have great music and amazing views. The food and drinks are well priced and the service is greta. The servers there are happy to help and suggest things. Must visit place.

  • 5/5 Cindy H. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place to watch sunset and city skyline. Good cocktails. On Wednesday you get one free burger with drink ordered.

  • 5/5 Terence S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great rooftop bar to chill out! Great views all around! Burgers, wings & fries were very good! Their signature cocktail was exceptional too!

  • 5/5 Marc N. 1 year ago on Google
    Great hidden place with good cocktails and appetizers. Good live DJ. Quite pricey, but it's worth for the quality of the drinks and the exclusive location. I liked the all-female bartending team.

  • 5/5 Christopher T. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice and relaxed rooftop bar and kitchen with nice music, but you can still hold a conversation fairly well

  • 3/5 JUAN G. 3 months ago on Google New
    Fantastic view of the city and friendly service. We ordered two gin tonics with the special tonic and it was very disappointing to find that there was no gas/sparkling in our drinks. We also took french frieds, very good

  • 5/5 Gabriel T. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place in HCM. Very classy and the service was absolutely incredible. The food is just on an other level. Probably the best burger I've eaten in years. The cocktails are on point and very original. On top of that the bar offers the best view on the city.

  • 4/5 Long N. 4 years ago on Google
    Located on the 10th floor of WMC building on Cong Quynh, this bar has a wonderful view of the city, especially during sunsets. The staff is wonderful and their customer service is top notch. Beware that the space is rather limited so you should book ahead of time to avoid waiting (booking is only available if you have 8+ guests). The food menu is limited to 4 burgers and 3 appetizers at the time of this review. Nevertheless, the truffle cheese burger is great.

  • 5/5 An P. 10 months ago on Google
    Great rooftop bar! Not too far away from Bui Vien, yet you can still enjoy chill music and a bit quiet atmosphere. Mixed drinks are exceptional. Service was great and very friendly as well.

  • 1/5 Chuong N. 5 months ago on Google
    Everything was great w good vibes and fun conversation amongst friends. The happy hour was from 4pm-6pm, buy 2 beer and a free burger. The staff confirmed this happy hour but failed to mention limited to 1 burger per patron and eat in only. We've been here a few times and really enjoyed the happy hour special. After waiting an hour for the main cook to come, we finally got our burger and we're 4drinks in per person. We racked up the drinks over good conversations expecting to balance the beverage intake w the burgers. When the bill came out, we were still charged for the burgers. I mentioned to the staff, without any apologies and an attitude did they correct the bill. Long story short, still great value for good burger, beers and sunset. Staff (Thanh, Dinh and entire crew) can be a bit more customer focused instead of just being rigid and cold. Don't know if I'll recommend friends to come back. There's more friendlier atmosphere venues to take friends and clients.

  • 5/5 M N. 5 months ago on Google
    Nice service, open space, music and atmosphere are good and suitable for convo nights. The price range quite reasonable for the place. 250 for a cocktail, 850k for a processco, i cant complaint

  • 3/5 Hayley L. 4 years ago on Google
    Came here once and it was a busy night. It was not so busy when we first came. This place is next to Bui Vien so the majority of visitors are foreigners. The cocktails and food are good. Probably one of the best rooftop bars in Saigon. Nothing bad really except that the Vietnamese staff who waited our table that night seemed to favour the foreigners at the table next to us. He came by to check on them every 15 minutes and constantly offered them free drinks.

  • 5/5 Andrew S. 4 years ago on Google
    Sitting here as I type. Very beautiful rooftop bar / restaurant which, considering the views, is reasonably priced Not overly busy, 2 or 3 other couples up here at this time (sunset) so your not fighting for seating Good food, soft music, helpful English speaking staff. Bit difficult to find initially. Set Gps, when you arrival look for a 10 storey hotel building, Mayfair Suites - WMC tower, enter reception and take the lift to the 10th floor. Definetly worth going out of your way for

  • 5/5 Xavier D. 8 months ago on Google
    A must in HCM mid-range rooftop nearby Bui Vien. Great view, good drinks, good music vibes. Dancing on hot nite with HCM skyline. Do not hesitate to ask for special gin and tonics.

  • 5/5 J G. 10 months ago on Google
    An amazing hidden gem of a place. The drinks, perfect! The burgers, perfect! View and setting, perfect! We were super disappointed we didn’t get the chance to make it back here before leaving. The European waiter, blonde with glasses - super cool and chill, took the orders, efficient and quick, small chit chat and left us alone - exactly what we expect. However, Tippy - super annoying. Stayed at our table asking too many questions, then pausing awkwardly, waiting for us to carry the conversation. We initially thought he was trying to be nice, but it was hard work for us. Im on holiday, I want to relax with my partner, quietly, not interview a waiter on his life plans. Then it became clear. Tippy asked us to write a 5 star review on trip advisor, told us to mention his name, spelled it out, then reminded us THREE more times to review HIM before we left. He was 1-star. Everything else, 5-star. Also he shoved his little finger up his nose no less than 3 times while chatting with us… gross. He should focus more on serving customers and doing his job, instead of sweet talking for trip advisor reviews.

  • 5/5 Lauren R. 10 months ago on Google
    We came here on a Wednesday night and bought a cocktail and got a free burger!! So yummy!! Our waiter Tippy was so friendly and made our night very fun. The views of the bar are amazing and the DJ was great. Definitely recommend.
