Why go
Social Club sits on the 24th floor of Hôtel des Arts Saigon, a hotel on Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai just beyond the old District 1 core. Up top you get a bar, a lounge and an infinity pool, all facing one of the widest night views in the center of the city.
It is a good place to end a day of sightseeing with a drink above the lights.
From our visit
Our editor, Pixer, went at night in October. The verdict: a great rooftop bar, with on-trend music, a stylish setting and a city view that makes the trip up worth it.
At night the skyline is the star. From the terrace you look out over a spread of lit towers, with Landmark 81 glowing on the horizon and office buildings like Deutsches Haus and M Plaza closer in.
Inside, the bar is dressed in warm orange light, with arched shelves of bottles under a glowing “Social Club Above Saigon” sign. Around the corner, the infinity pool runs along the edge of the roof beside a row of loungers under draped curtains. Our editor also noted that the venue holds pool parties.
Location is a big plus. It is central and not far from the main District 1 sights, so you can spend the day on a city tour and drop in at night.
Getting there
Head to Hôtel des Arts Saigon at 76-78 Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai and take the lift to the 24th floor. From Nguyen Hue walking street or Ben Thanh Market it is a short Grab ride.

The hotel’s website lists opening hours of 3pm to midnight from Sunday to Thursday and 3pm to 1am on Friday and Saturday at the time of writing. Check before you go.
