Firkin Bar

Excellent and highly recommended cocktail and whisky bar. Top tier service from unique and fun bartenders featuring tailored expressions from each on the menu. Alongside a diverse selection of all types of whisky, most notably Scotch and Japanese whisky. All was reasonably priced with the option of half pours.
The atmosphere and vibe was also very high class and distinct.
Do visit if you're a cocktail or whisky lover, or if you just want the sleekest place in town to have a drink.

I had fries,’it was not too bad.

We had the Happy Hour cocktail. So I had whiskey sour. That was really very good!

I love the ambience overall, very cosy speakeasy bar.

I don't know why my review has been removed... But this is one of my favorite Whiskey bars in the city. I am happy and somewhat surprised by how popular this place is among young Vietnamese.

The Whiskey list is endless... The service is attentive and speak English. The atmosphere is on point, but it can get noisier than what you'd expect. Well, more success means more noise. And as you might suspect, it is not the cheapest place in town.

Oh, I also love their cheese toasts (or whatever it is called). But they changed the cheese a year or two ago. The cheese is less sharp compared to the old recipe. Good, but really not as addictive as it used to be... I hope they'll change it back!

Anywho, great place! Highly recommended! I mean, no, don't go please... Keep it quiet :P

Super nice place to visit if you are in HCMC. Little hard to find the entry but worth it!!! I found 1 Thai staff which very friendly and service mind, P’Jib.

Happy to visit here. My VN friend also recommended this place.

Sooooooo good, with cocktail and staff, especially Ngoc which has very service mind and very take care of customers.
Good place to visit in Ho cho minh. Don’t miss this place!!

These folks do cocktails on a superb quality level! You wouldn't find any cheap and sweet pina coladas or similar, but instead they serve high class whisky sour, old fashioned, manhatten, etc. The interior is also very atmospheric and tasteful

Hidden gem cocktail bar, a little hard to find but worth it, intimate and cozy atmosphere, delicious high quality cocktails , highly recommend

A fantastic cocktail bar that really understands the art of making drinks. The team is knowledgeable and friendly, and each of Phat, Tu, Truong, Ngoc, Trung, and Jib made us feel at home and blew us away with their drinks.

The menu is low on gimmicks and high on quality. A fantastic bar to come to if you appreciate a well mixed drink.

I also really like how they both give you 6 interpretations of classic cocktails, and give you a guided path to ‘build your own’ - alongside a list of signature drinks and their ability to make you something custom.

I so love the atmosphere they build here, the environment is very fashion and comfortable. The Matini is so good that was probably the best I had ever had, definitely the top recommendation bar in HCMC so far.

This bar has a cozy hidden vibe that I really like. Also, unlike other whiskey bars, they have a selection of mocktails and non-alcoholic drinks that are quite nice and carefully attended to. The staff is pretty friendly and attentive. Would recommend it for casual hang out or dating. Me and my friend checked it out on a random rainy Monday night and it was more crowded than we thought! One of the first hidden bars in Saigon but they surely have lived up to the name and maintained the quality pretty well over time.

Didn’t even look at the menu and asked for something to go with a cigar I chose for the night (separate room for smoking). Incredibly accurate pairing and a cocktail that was a new enjoyable experience for me. This is a top notch bar everyone must visit.

Small but great place for cocktail, wide variety of choices and combination, I like the way they let you pick your favorite Whiskey, Flavor, Bitter to make your own Whiskey Sour, been there several times and they never fail to make me a perfect drink, good to go alone or with friends.

Lovely and cozy speakeasy located in the center of Ho Chi Minh city. Broad menu of classic and original cocktails, great atmosphere, amazing bartenders, comfortable bar chairs from which you can see how yours (or any others) cocktails are made. If you're in Saigon - pay a visit to this place, sip your cocktails and enjoy the evening.

Great bar! Bartenders are fantastic. The menu is extensive, but we also ordered a couple of classic cocktails (penicillin and blood & sand) not on the menu and they executed perfectly.

Notably, there was no one smoking in the main bar area. I’m not sure if that is how it is set up but it was very nice.

We arrived early in the evening and easily found a seat, by the time we left at 10:30 the place was very full.

Even it is located on Mac Thi Buoi street - center of District 1 but it can be considered as a hidden bar. Cozy atmosphere, classic decoration, chill music, outstanding cocktails paired with nice finger food. Honestly everything is perfect for an evening chill out. The best cocktail bar in Saigon so far

My bartender Truong made me a custom drink based on my tastes. We communicated in English as I am from US. He also made me a drink based on my request of some Vietnamese herbs and I was very pleased by his creative choice of star anise commonly used in pho... Staff was also very accomodating as they Grabbed my credit card (it happens) to my hotel in a red envelope to be discreet (tet new years). 😅 Smart! Highly recommend!

Discreet entrance.. just a small wooden door that leads up to a very nice and cosy bar. They have a very special whiskey cocktail menu where each bartender has their own take on the classics, so plenty of return value if you like the place to try each one out, or come with friends! Friends were raving about the bacon, so do try, its nice and crisp, yet not dry. :D

Hidden bar behind a non descript door, with a f spotlight leads you up to an uber cool cocktail bar staffed by experienced mixologists. Great choice of cocktails, with staff variations. Loved old posters on the wall. The staff were very friendly. The french ham and cheese toastie was yum.

The cocktails are delicious and can be customized. The bartender Molly is amazing!

I'll start by saying this is a great bar. I love the atmosphere. I love the team. I love the bottle selection. I love the menu.

The atmosphere has this rustic feel that kinda reminds me of Ginza cocktail bars. But. Bigger. Comfy chairs. Wooden bar counter. Classical or jazz music playing in the background.

Most of the team are only a few months in their tenure. They're a curious lot who does excellent service. My Vietnamese is bad so sadly I cant remember their names.

Their menu is pretty friendly toward newbies. Each bartender has their own version of classic drinks. You can also build your own classic drink. But of course you can just request for you own drinks even if they dont know the drink.

I look forward to going here again.
