Gin on 8, the modern rooftop speakeasy by the river, located at Mia Saigon in District 2, was the perfect spot for a holiday trip with my closest friends. The chic ambiance of the place was just what we were looking for. The Gin Speakeasy interior lounge was cosy and nostalgic, while the open-air rooftop terraces were truly breathtaking.

What caught our attention was the vast range of gin, which we found out was the inspiration behind the name ‘Gin on 8’. The rooftop bar had a generous selection of gin, ranging from the familiar brands to small batch selections of this multi-faceted spirit.

However, this wasn’t the only thing available on the menu. The signature cocktails were also a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, alongside quality whisky, wines, champagnes, and modern Indochine bites. The service at Gin on 8 was top-notch, and the bartenders were knowledgeable, which was impressive.

We spent most of our time on the rooftop terraces, which had panoramic views of the Saigon skyline and the river. The landscaped garden and natural teak lounges made it an ideal spot for unwinding and soaking in the breathtaking views.

Gin on 8 was the perfect haven for our holiday getaway. We enjoyed the happy hour from 5-7 pm, which was perfect for witnessing the beautiful sunsets. On weekends, live DJs played music that kept the ambience lively and energetic. We also enjoyed ‘Bubble Sunday’, which was a unique experience.

Overall, Gin on 8 is a wonderful Sagion rooftop bar to enjoy fine drinks, bites, and views with family, friends, or colleagues. It’s a must-visit spot for anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a chic and sophisticated experience. The address is City, No.2-4, Street 10, Thủ Đức, Ho Chi Minh City, and the opening hours on Fridays and Saturdays are from 16:00 – late.

As a fashion expert, I understand the importance of dressing up for a night out. If you’re planning to visit Gin on 8, the modern rooftop speakeasy by the river, here are some tips to help you dress to impress.

For Women:
When it comes to rooftop attire, you want to keep it chic and comfortable. I suggest wearing a flirty summer dress or a trendy jumpsuit paired with strappy sandals. Don’t forget to accessorize with a statement necklace or earrings, and a clutch to hold your essentials. Try renowned brands like Zara, Ted Baker or Rebecca Minkoff for some great outfit options.

For men, I recommend wearing a classic buttoned shirt paired with slim-fit trousers or chinos. To add a touch of sophistication, put on a blazer or sport coat, especially if you’re planning to enjoy the cozy and nostalgic interior lounge called The Gin Speakeasy. Finish your look with leather loafers or dress shoes from brands like Cole Haan, Kenneth Cole, or Allen Edmonds.

As for shoes, I suggest wearing comfortable yet stylish options. For women, wedges, block heels, or flats are perfect choices. Men can opt for stylish sneakers or slip-on loafers. Make sure you wear shoes that you can easily walk in, especially if you plan to take a stroll on the two open-air terraces with landscaped gardens and natural teak lounges.

Accessories:
Accessories can take your outfit to the next level. For women, I suggest wearing a stylish hat, sunglasses, and a wristwatch. For men, a sleek leather belt, aviator sunglasses, and a luxury timepiece can elevate your look. Don’t forget to carry a stylish phone case to capture memories of the intimate and sophisticated ambiance, perfect for enjoying drinks, bites, and views.
