One end — the bar
The long counter runs most of the room, red stools lined along it, the white neon ribbon winding overhead. The cocktails are serious work: the house's own kombucha goes into the glass as a real ingredient.

BAR57
Neon winding over the bar, arcade machines along the wall and house-made kombucha in the cocktails — Liam Lam Duong's loud ground-floor room at 57 Nguyen Du, open daily to 1 AM.
The arcade — two ends of the room
A dive with a serious bar
Bar57 splits its room into two poles: at one end a long counter pouring proper cocktails under the neon, at the other an arcade corner beeping under a Lord of the Drinks sign. Dive-bar energy, cocktail-bar craft.
The other end — the arcade
Along the wall, arcade machines glow under a Lord of the Drinks neon sign. A game between drinks is this room's rhythm — and what separates it from every hushed speakeasy in the city.
Three frames to open
The arcade corner, a coupe in violet light, and a tray of shots for the table — how a night at Bar57 opens.
The arcade corner
Game machines, blue light and the Lord of the Drinks sign — Bar57's unmistakable corner.
The coupe in violet
A coupe standing alone in the bar's violet light — the room's serious side, shot by the venue itself.
Shots for the table
A tray of colourful shots heading out to a table — Bar57 serves the party rhythm too, not just counter drinks.
Inside the neon room
The long counter, the red-curtain lounge and the crowd under the neon ribbon — Bar57 through the venue's and its guests' photos.
