If Saigon is the city that never sleeps, then it’s only fitting that it’s also the city that never stops pouring. From hazy IPAs to crisp lagers and strong Belgian beers, Saigon’s beer scene is fizzing with creativity, passion, and more than a little fun.
Many of these taprooms pour cheaper pints in the afternoon, so see which have a happy hour in Saigon today.
Here’s our pick of the best pints in Saigon, from slick taprooms to hidden gems that’ll have you raising your glass in no time.
1. Mixtape Drinks
A craft taproom with the soul of a record shop, Mixtape Drinks is where music and beer collide. Think bold flavours with playful names, like Peaches & Cream (a juicy New World IPA), Molly (a milk stout with hints of coffee and chocolate), and their cheeky ParTea hard teas that keep things light and fun.
The vibe? Electric. Located near Ben Thanh Market, this is more than just a bar, it’s a hub for DJs, food pop-ups, and all-round good times. Pull up for a pint, stay for the party.

2. East West Brewing Co.
One of Saigon’s OG microbreweries, East West Brewing is serious about craft but never takes itself too seriously. The beers are bold and brilliant, from their flagship Far East IPA to a sneaky Belgian Blonde brewed with palm sugar. Add to that a buzzing space with open brewing tanks, live music, and hearty food, and you’ve got yourself one of the best pints in Saigon, hands down.
This is where craft meets culture, and one pint quickly becomes four (don’t say we didn’t warn you).

It’s a cosy hideaway where you can sample Vietnamese craft beers alongside international bottles like Duvel, Liefmans, Vedett and La Chouffe. Think of it as a tasting ground for when you’re not sure what mood you’re in, one minute you’re sipping a Saigon-made pale ale, the next you’re diving into a Belgian dubbel.
It’s laid-back, unpretentious, and the perfect spot to kick back after a long day.

Add a rooftop terrace overlooking Le Thanh Ton, and you’ve got a brewpub that’s as good for the view as it is for the beer. Bonus: they’ve got a cocktail bar upstairs if you fancy switching gears.
