Ho Chi Minh City - Bars and Clubs

[Nomes2015]

A new bar has recently opened at 104 Ham Nghi in D1. Its called Check In.

The bar is owned by 4 Viet ladies.

Negatives. Two of the owners have no experience about running a bar at all. LOL.

Be careful in this bar, the lady drink cost is 140,000 and the girls just drink milk, coke or sprite.

Ms Ng the bar owner gets really pissed, pukes everywhere and is generally obnoxious when drunk. She thinks she is being funny!

Positives. Two of the girls are up for after hours activity at 2 million a pop. Ki and Oa, both live and play together. Buy a bottle let the girls drink from yr bottle and hey presto yr in. But wear a condom, because you never know who was there just before you.

Currently in HCMC, thinking of hitting up the nightclubs. If anyone else is up for this, let me know.

Is it all the bars in this area where almost all girls are "available" for a price? Or only some of them. If it is only some, then it would be useful for us to make a list of which bars are yes and which bars are no.

I thought No. 5 bar was in the no category. But I'm not sure.

Afraid my days of bonking after bar closing hours are over now. Maybe better to get a phone number and schedule something for the next day.

Amspascha wrote asking about Jolly club below, but he didn't mention what is on offer in this place.

All the bars in this area will charge you 180,000 or 200,000 for lady drinks and almost all the girls are available for whatever you want after work, prices quoted are correct for short time.

Not all the bars. For example. Rock bar, Drunken Duck, Manhattan, M52, Friends, The Pub charge 120,000 or less! 180,000 is above average!

Be careful if you are out and about in the Ho Tung Mau or Pasteur Bars. If you go to Retro, Rumours or Cloud 9 they have a habit of charging you 180,000 for a lady drink. I bought a girl a drink at Rumours the other night. It was supposed to be a standard priced lady drink at 140,000. What I did not realise until I paid the bill was that she had ordered Patron Cafe XO. Which is coffee coloured. The drink was actually milk coloured with ice in it. So how could it have been Cafe XO. Impossible! The girl that I bought the drink for is in her thirties, her name is Nga and also works part time at Cloud 9. There is also a girl work there called Dung, be careful of her. She pulls the same stunt!

Since Tet you can now get take away company for the night at a cost of around 1.5 to 2 million from many of the bars on the top end of Pasteur. Not from Rock Bar, The Pub or round the corner at Navy, but many of the others will join you at your hotel if the price is right after they finish work.

Hello, everyone.

One of my friend recommend me a club founded by korean named JOLLY, the price there is not cheap but says the quality is good. Does anyone heard or have experience about that?

Thanks in advance.

After thinking of going to Benny's again (I went there yesterday for the first time) I decided to try something new. Since I am only staying 3 days, I wanted to explore.

I went for a foot massage at Bui Vien and I was approached by a hot lady working on Violet Spa (Early 30's) that suggested a BJ for 500 after I refused a happy ending (I am not paying for something I can do my self). After reading not very good reports about Bui Vien although very tempted I didn't proceed. Walked back at my hotel to get some money and at the door the bell boy asked me if I wanted a girl for a mil ST. Another temptation. I guess a guy alone in HCM is assumed to be looking for pussy. Anyway, the fact that I had no control over who the girl is going to be so I declined and left for Apo around 11:30.

You (and other members for future reference) do have some control by right of refusal. Next time just tell the boy if you don't like the girl you can: 1) give her taxi money 50 k VND and send her packing, or 2) they send over another girl (they can do about three exchanges before both sides call it quit. No taxi money on exchange).

Hope that helps (future mongering).

Peter.

Well done report. I live in HCMC and have been to Apo about 8 times in the last 5 months. The game can be fun there. If you learn how to play it. The girls that speak very little English are the ones that will also go with you for far less, maybe 1. 5, even if they are super hot. In general, I find it's always a bit of a crap-shoot and the girl at the bar is not the same as the one in your bed. I've had amazing GF experience, boring pro experience, and girls trying to just collect their money after boring attitude and leave. I do think a goal is to find the best and keep their number. I have a couple I'd never give out (Remember they are charging ALMOST 2 X Bangkok, a more expensive city and one that is more modern. But it's true the two cultures are super different and VN girls are better in many cases.

My advice for sure is talk to a girl in the more quiet room on ground floor. There's a lot to understand and you'll have fun and hopefully make her more relaxed. If she thinks you're trust-worthy after talking she'll take a smaller price. There are stunners that are worth the 3 mm, but I find many of them act too super pro in bed and no fun. Don't pay more than 120 usd!

Not too many girls maybe a ratio of 1/1. But most were very good looking (20 to 30 years old). I approached two of the best looking ones and both said 3000 k for ST. No negotiations, no discussion, which turned me off. They both told me that this is the price for ST for all girls. Probably too early to drop the price.

After going back by the pool table a thin relatively tall hottie, called Vy, came and sat next to me. Her English was ok, you could have a basic conversation. She asked for 3 mil and I firmly said 1.5 mil is my max. But she did not leave. She was quite pushy but in a nice way. Very professional, which in my book is a good sign.

Anyhow, 15 minutes later we agreed on 1.7 for ST (I probably overpaid but I liked her and 200 k difference is not a big deal). Came back to my hotel (Minh Vy. Super small rooms but very clean and new), no problem of course, just left her ID at the desk.

No surprises when she took her clothes of. Long legs (tall for a Viet girl -1.65) super tight body, no sign of fat anywhere, an unbelievable round ass. A solid 9+ in terms of body, maybe an 8 face. Sweet but not a model's face. We showered together, BBBJ and all positions. Definitely GF experience, very nice girl indeed. Money well spend.

I liked her so much that I asked her to come by tomorrow for 1.2 mil (ST).

Beer price at Apo 130 k dong. Ouch.

Benny's is a good value I believe for 400 k, although I have not tried any other BJ joint. I hate the fact that there is very little privacy (I could see the guy next door). A bit mechanical but the girl let me stick my fingers in her pussy and she actually asked me to touch her boobs. She was a bit perky but she gave an excellent BJ, as some mention a pornstar level of service.

Went to Apo Friday night. Drinks flowing and lots of pretty girls all over. Best to come about 11 pm to get a seat and see the girls as they arrive. My buddy talked to one girl nearby. She seemed stuck up. I waved her over to us, but she wouldn't move. So I tried to warn my bud but he didn't listen. She wouldn't even lean over or move 2 feet to say Hi. We were at the table right next to her. He went over to talk for a few minutes. No deal. After a few rounds my two buddies left. I stayed and found a cutie and took her back to my hotel. A good session at night and another romp in the early afternoon. Donation was 1. 5 m for the night. She left about 2 pm. Side note, my girl turned out to be pretty sweet. She even straightened up my dirty clothes from the other night. I had some underware, 2 t-shirts and a pair of shorts from Thursday night lying in a chair. She folded them all up and placed them in the closet. Wasn't really necessary because they were dirty anyway and they were not in the way of anything. But it was still a nice little gesture. Might need to repeat with this one before I go.

There are tons of Vietnamese free-lancerers in Singapore. You mean that's where you met them? "educated" and/or career-successful girls are PISSED OFF because they've been harassed going into Singapore. Customs treats any single Viet woman like shit, especially if she's good looking.

Overall, an early 30's girl is awesome in HCMC, I agree. If she's not a freelancer and you meet online or elsewhere, there's a much higher chance she will be "traditional" and not put out for a long time than if she's in 20s. 20 something girls are MUCH less traditional. 18 and 19 years old I think they may be the best in SEA, but you'd have to be young enough to play in that sand box (pun intended). Don't be fooled, guys, there are a lot of traditional Viet girls. That is very well known fact anyone that's been here a long time (longer than me) will confirm.

Vietnam is much better for finding a great GF: not so great for a hook-up. Bangkok, Indonesia, Philippines, and Cambodia are all far better for hook-ups with non pros or non freelance.

Never explore to Cambodia & Philippines, but heard lots of the exciting story there, will explore one day.

[Wander Luster]

Same here bro, I been working in SG few months last year.

All the girls I tried before are below 30 year old, there are my Tieng Viet teachers, haha.

But I think it is more easy to fish girl above 30 than below 30 yo, girl above 30 yo consider "old" here, they are not so choosy if compare to the teenager / youngster.

Wish to hear more excited sharing from you about Saigon.

Cheers bro.

Hi Boob,

Honestly, I normally fish girl in zalo (Vietnam wechat), I was same as you, being embarrass to approach girl in cafe, but in Vietnam, I found that it was not that difficult (of course if you can speak bit Vietnam language, will be much easier, and I can speak a bit haha), what you need to do is to look at her and smile, if she was looking for "someone", she will smile back, and the signal is quite significant.

Actually besides MILF in cafe, you can try your luck in Lush (pub) too, most of them are young girl and speak little bit English, if you are lucky enough, maybe you could find a college girl be your local tour guide for few days, and of course, nothing come for free.

Cheers!

I've been here too long to not know a lot about Lush, and I think even noobs to HCMC could use more info on it. I found that the best approach in Apocalypse Now is to smile and exchange just a few sentences, but then ask a freelance girl to come to the outdoor bar there. Otherwise, there's no conversation. I've "pulled" awesome freelancers with little to no conversation by dancing with them, but I prefer some verbal. I like freelance and those not looking for money over "bar girls" in Asia countries because it's more like a real hook-up. It's less of just based on money.

So, is there somewhere to pull a girl in Lush and talk even if in broken English? I know it has more non-freelance, looking for BF girls vs. Apo Now which is all freelancers and not cheap by standandards in nearby countries. What else works there? I was in a club like lush in Bangkok a few weeks ago and it was farrrr better than finding a bar-girl.

Awesome, thanks for the tips ActionGG. Now, I'll definitely have to hit up some of those lower-Pasteur bars that you mention. I've never really been, and just assumed that they were the reincarnation of the old hooker bars that used to line lower HBT, since it seemed to me that they really only started cropping up after the arrival of Starbucks and the subsequent gentrification of HBT. Sorry for sounding like such a newbie, but where is Amore? I couldn't find it at all on Google. And thank you! For finally addressing my Dalat Pho question. I wrote this post before I went to check it out, but due to posting lag times, my (unfruitful) report on the cafe showed up first.

The Boob.

The Lower Pasteur Street area bars are still not the most fruitful endeavor because the girls are good at gladly letting you buy drinks all night and then stuffing you in a taxi, with you mumbling, "What time do you finish. "as the door slams shut but, again, there are hookups with them, paid (seems more likely to find pros who are just there drinking which occurs occasionally) and unpaid, although I think the bars grouped across from Saigon Center (Tequila, Diamond, Cheers) are a little sleazier maybe.

Sorry, Amore just opened so many probably don't know it. Amore I is on Huỳnh Thúsee Kháng, on the second floor on the corner where the market street, number is maybe 29. It is open-air. Amore II is on Pasteur a few doors down from Vinyl and I think it is open-air also.
