A sleek lounge bar set in the basement opposite the Opera House on Lam Son Square, Q Bar has been a fixture of Saigon's nightlife scene since the late 1990s. The interior is minimalist and moody, with low lighting and comfortable seating that draws a mix of expats and well-heeled locals.
Drinks are pricier than average for the city, but the cocktails are well-made and the music stays on the right side of laid-back. It fills up on weekends, especially after 10pm.
