Dong Du slips between bars that don't try too hard.
Why DONGDU, why now
Dong Du is a compact, well-indexed District 1 street anchored by the buzzy 63 Dong Du apartment-block cluster of boutique cafes and shops, plus Take Izakaya and Layla Eatery & Bar for night. Yunka Saigon recently took over the historic Dong Du/Dong Khoi corner, bringing genuine day and night F&B curation to the strip.
1. Jackalope Bar
- 56 Phó Đức Chính, Bến Thành, Hồ Chí Minh
- 4.9 · 115 รีวิว · Speakeasy
Jackalope Bar opens the course because the cocktail pace is steady, the room is low-lit enough to ease you into the night, and the bartenders work without rushing you. It's a speakeasy setup that doesn't gatekeep, so you can start here before the street fills up. The rating holds across more than a hundred visits, which means the drinks stay consistent.

2. ÚNU Eatery & Bar - Contemporary Bistro
- G & M Floor, 43 - 45 Hồ Tùng Mậu, Sài Gòn, Hồ Chí Minh 700000
- 4.9 · 151 รีวิว · Live Music Bar
ÚNU Eatery & Bar closes the course because live music gives you a reason to stay longer once the cocktails are done. The room shifts from bistro to bar as the night moves forward, and the happy hour structure rewards you for arriving with an appetite. It's the kind of stop that absorbs the end of the evening without forcing a hard finish.

The walk between
The walk between them is short, one compact District 1 block where the 63 Dong Du apartment cluster sits. The strip is tight enough that you'll pass a few boutique storefronts and cafe windows still glowing, but the street itself doesn't crowd the way the bigger arterials do.
- Start at Jackalope before 9pm if you want a seat without waiting. The room is small, and the later crowd tends to cluster near the bar.
- Order food at ÚNU during happy hour. The buy-one-get-one window stretches your budget, and the Asian fusion plates are portioned to share across the table.
FAQ
- Is this course better for a date or a group?
- Both stops handle dates and small groups without issue. Jackalope skews intimate and low-key, while ÚNU's live music setup works for three or four people who want to talk over drinks and plates.
- Do either of these spots require a reservation?
- Jackalope is walk-in, but the space is compact, so arriving early helps. ÚNU sits inside a hotel and can absorb more traffic, though weekend nights near Bitexco tend to fill the bar area by 10pm.
