Where to find the best rooftop bars in Ho Chi Minh City
Chill Skybar
It’s hard to beat the sweeping, glittering panorama that greets you from the 26th floor of the AB Tower, at Chill Skybar. Neon lights inside the bar match those glowing across the city, mixologists blend up delectable drinks and dancing is the name of the game. Expect raving parties on the circular, open-air platform, dress to impress and turn up at 5:30 pm for Happy Hour drink prices. To complete the decadent experience, stay next door at the New World Saigon Hotel.

Glow Sky Bar
Black and white striped lounges, tropical house beats and palm trees make you feel like you’re at a fashionable beach club, at Glow Sky Bar. With a dazzling location at the top of the President Place building, it attracts headline DJs and trendsetting crowds looking for an exciting slice of Ho Chi Minh nightlife. You’ll need to leave the flip-flops at home, as the dress code is smart casual, but it’ll be worth it when you sip your first ‘Taste of the Orient’ signature cocktail. To stumble home in just a few minutes, stay at the nearby Central Palace Hotel.
