Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
(Ground fl, Landmark Bldg, 5B Ɖ Ton Duc Thang; 10am-late Mon-Sat)
From the sinuous curve of
the hardwood bar to the smoothly arranged bottles on the shelves, soft chill-out rhythms,
funky caramel leather furniture and fine tapas menu, Vesper is a cool spot by the river.
There's a roadside terrace, but traffic noise is epic.
Apocalypse Now
( 08-3824 1463; 2C Ð Thi Sach; 7pm-2am)
A sprawling place with a big dance floor and
an outdoor courtyard, it's quite a circus, with a cast comprising travellers, expats, Viet-
namese movers and shakers, plus the odd hooker (some odder than others). Others have
come and gone, but 'Apo' has been around since the early days and remains one of the
must-visit clubs.
NIGHTCLUB
Vasco's
(
www.vascosgroup.com
; 74/7D ÐL Hai Ba Trung; 4pm-late; )
One of the hippest hangouts in
town: downstairs is a breezy spot for cocktails and pizza, while the upstairs nightclub-like
space regularly hosts DJs and live bands.
BAR, NIGHTCLUB
BAR
Temple Club Bar & Lounge
(29 Ɖ Ton That Thiep; 11.30am-midnight)

this elegant shrine to Indochine. Frequently deserted, the lounge is one of the quietest,
most tranquillising and civilised corners of HCMC.
