The View Rooftop Bar

The View Rooftop Bar is located atop the Duc Vuong Hotel’s roof. There is no better way to experience Ho Chi Minh City than from a rooftop high above the sprawling skyscrapers and traffic below. However, some pubs in the largest city in Vietnam are suddenly asking sky-high charges to match their sky-high views. This is why The View rooftop bar at Duc Vuong Hotel is such a terrific place to have a drink: beers start at just 20,000 VND ($1), and the view from the ninth story encompasses the entire cityscape of Ho Chi Minh, making it a great site to take photographs.

The View rooftop bar is easily accessible, as it is located atop one of the highest buildings on the backpacker street of Bui Vien.

The bar occupies the entirety of the rooftop and is divided into two main sections with ample seating. In addition, there is a wooden building resembling a tree home and an inside “party room” with disco lights. The section of the bar that extends to the right offers the best view of Ho Chi Minh City’s financial district’s Bitexco Tower and surrounding skyscrapers.

The View rooftop bar is festooned with neon lights and an abundance of trees, bushes, and flowers, as if it were Christmastime in a garden store. It is a pleasant and unpretentious atmosphere that perfectly complements the spirit of Bui Vien Street. Beers for $1 and cocktails for $3 are unheard of at any other Ho Chi Minh City rooftop bar, so if you want to capture a magnificent backdrop without breaking the bank, The View Rooftop Bar at the Duc Vuong Hotel should be your top choice.

It must be noted that the service at The View is exceptional, and that the English-speaking staff is eager to converse and provide recommendations on where to go in Ho Chi Minh. In addition to a fair menu of Western and Vietnamese classics, it is the inexpensive cocktails that keep customers returning.
