The hidden bar, in the house’s own words

4th floor above Katinat, 58 Phan Bội Châu. A hidden homies bar, a photo wall of past nights, a flag wall, a low stage — and one drink the house invented.

The owner’s own words
“4th Floor, 58 Phan Boi Chau Str., Ben Thanh Ward, Dist.1, Saigon (Above Katinat Coffee Shop)”

“MAY THE FUN BE WITH YOU.”

The drink the house invented

CÓC ỔI MÍA GHIM — inspired by Vietnamese street fruit vendors. A pale yellow-green pour in a tulip glass, sugar and crumb rim, a skewer of dried fruit across the top, dried fruit chips on a small wooden tray. Named in the owner’s own words, never priced.

The room it is drunk in

White walls and one raw concrete pillar; a dark room at night with warm lamp light. A wire grid covered in small guest photos, clipped on, framed with gold tinsel and fairy lights. A wall tiled with small country flags. A low brick stage for comedy and live nights. And an open terrace with string lights and the District 1 skyline.
