From the same people who bought ATM, Alley bar & kitchen among others there recent installment is called Tre Eatery & Bar located on the northern side of district 1
To find it walk down a residential looking alley way and find a place called the Yellow Cafe – note there are no signs at this point. Walk through the front door, to the back and go up some stairs, the cabinet which has some whiskeys inside is actually the door. just give it a light push and you’ll find your way inside.
The bar is a wonderful mix of French colonial Vietnam with a smattering of Japanese influence, great cocktails, a wonderful food menu and private areas for birthdays make this a great spot for most occasions!

Cozy Eatery & bar only opened in 2020 and tucker to the far north west of d1 makes it quite a hard little find, but what a little gem of a place it is.
With a great signature cocktails list, a really cozy friendly staff amazing food, and a crowd who are open to meeting new friends this is one of the top finds on this trip.
The cocktails are beautifully well balanced and for the price probably some of the best value in town.
They have live music events coupled with tasting menus on Thursdays and Sundays where you get to taste a little bit of heaven from food to drink.
