Overview
After entering through the swinging doors, be prepared for a late night in this Aussie home away from home. An array of flags covers the low ceiling, Australian Football League paraphernalia adorn the walls and rock music flies from the speakers to fill the dimly lit space. A dartboard and pool table can satisfy competitive urges, but most of the clientèle just pass away the hours drinking with friends or sitting at the bar watching sports on television. Mugs of Tiger beer are consumed as the manager lingers about making sure all are enjoying themselves.
It is good to have a place that is friendly, clean, safe and well located in Saigon. A bit like a good aussie pub on steroids I call in whenever I am in town. On this visit I had a lady friend from home with me and Simon helped out by writing down the details of a good place to eat for the taxi. We came back for a nightcap after the meal. Keep up the good work Simon - I will be seeing you again soon. Bill
Stay away from here My son left with one of the waitress here and to make a long story short was druged, robbed and held against will in a differant bar that she brought him to. I am sure this is not the 1st person this has happen from this bar the girls seem nice but can not be trusted.
Very friendly staff and atmosphere. Would definitely go back again. we didn't even have to keep asking for drinks they remembered what we were all drinking. We also had some nibblies to eat and you couldn't even fault those, everything about our experience was fantastic.
