The cafe side
From 09:00, CUR8's cream room is a listening cafe: coffee, low tables and shelves of vinyl guests pick themselves to put on the turntable. That is the house's daytime half — and it does not hide it.

CUR8 SAIGON
You pick the record, the house curates the rest — a vinyl listening room by day, a Sound Lab behind a blue door after dark.
The Sound Lab — two sides of a blue door
A listening room by day, the Sound Lab by night
CUR8 is built around one idea — to curate: guests pick records from the shelves to hear in the quiet cream room, and after dark the soundproofed Sound Lab behind the blue door opens for DJs and a small floor.
The Sound Lab side
Behind the blue door is a different room entirely: orange walls, soundproofing, resident DJ Waai and R&B, boom bap, hip-hop, funk, disco, house and UK garage nights for a small floor.
Three frames to open
The lit front, the cream listening room and the Sound Lab's orange room — how CUR8 opens.
The front
The lit front with records in the window — CUR8 introduces itself with the very thing it sells: curated music.
The listening room
Cream walls, low tables and record shelves — the daytime room where guests pick a record and hear a whole side.
The Sound Lab
Orange walls, big speakers and a disco ball — the soundproofed night room behind the blue door.
Inside CUR8
Vinyl, speakers and orange light — CUR8 through the house's photos.
