Tủ Bar — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

The best bar I've been at.

Everything I expected and even more.

Most of the time need to book a reservation as there is only 13 places.

Very intimate, very calm, very classy—an extraordinary experience.

The bartenders are very stylish, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable in their field. They will create custom cocktails based on your ideas and preferences.

There is a wide selection of spirits from various countries, all seemingly of high quality.

The price is a bit high (300-400k) compared to a regular drink, but it’s an experience—complete with a real show in the cocktail-making process and some culinary accompaniments.

The entrance, hidden behind an unsuspecting wardrobe in a quiet street, adds to the charm.

Overall, an incredible experience—not to be missed if you enjoy this kind of place: concept bars, calm and elegant atmospheres, speakeasies, etc.

If I had just a couple of minor criticisms, it would be the restrooms—not classy and not in good condition. It would be great to fully embrace the concept and have themed, high-quality restrooms.

And the bartenders’ English abilities—although they are very kind and highly skilled at their craft, I often struggled to understand their accent and to make myself understood. It would have been nice to chat with them more if I had felt confident that communication wouldn’t...

Altogether a disaster!

They claim to offer a personalized experience—asking for your preferences and allergies at the start—but then completely ignore them. For example, I clearly stated I’m lactose intolerant, yet the very first finger food they served was ricotta. Thoughtful? Not exactly.

The cocktails are more about spectacle than flavor, and the entire experience costs nearly double what you'd pay at some of the city’s best bars.

Worst of all, the glass of the person I was with literally broke on her lips—she could have been seriously hurt. Sure, accidents happen, especially with low-quality glassware that’s constantly shifting between freezer and room temperature. But the bare minimum would have been an apology, or at least not charging us for the cocktail she couldn't drink. No apology, no replacement—nothing. I even had to insist they remove it from the bill.

Apparently, their idea of “personalized service” is limited to asking what kind of hashioki (chopstick rest) you want or offering blankets because the place is inexplicably freezing. Honestly, a bit of genuine kindness and less artificial charm would be a much better...

Long story short, Tu Bar is a combination of delicious drink, tasty food and great atmosphere.

It looks like an abandoned wooden closet but once you step into there it will guide you to the amazing bar.

I was affraid to go the the cocktail bar cuz I am not familiar with them but it was unnecessary anxiety. The mixologist asks your taste note and makes perfect drink based on that. Also they offer you a very pleasant bite size snack which matches to your drink, and they are all on the house. Me and my boyfriend dranks 3drinks each and they were all very tasty and perfect on our taste.

Everything was great but what I like the most is they offer you a warm towel after you went to the toilet, and mixologist checks everything everytime. I think those little caring thing give people a touch.

One thing you need to know about the price, it is vary depending on which alcohol is used. So it would be nice let the mixologist know if you have your budget.

Had fantastic time at there and definitely visit there again, and strongly recommand to you to visit and enjoy the...
