It plays cool foreign music and served excellent cocktail drinks, beer, and wine. However, if you want to get the most out of the place, make sure you arrive early. By midnight, the entire place will finally close. You can also proceed to Dong Khoi, Hai Ba Trung, and Le Thanh Ton. Big and small pubs and clubs are sprouting like mushrooms in these areas. Yet, again, just like when you’re in Apocalypse Now, these establishments are usually closed once the clock strikes 12. [...]Cheap flights to Ho Chi Minh City
