Yugen bills itself as a "classic cocktail bar," and it more than lives up to this moniker in many respects. It's a speakeasy tucked in an alleyway in Ho Chi Minh City, exuding a feeling of subtle sophistication. Its architecture, which took major cues from Japan, incorporates natural materials and round windows to create a serene, uncluttered area that is a veritable haven for anyone looking for great drinks.
Yugen is the brainchild of Dat Nguyen, a barman who specialises in vintage cocktails. Although the bar has a few specialty drinks, its main focus is on well-made classic cocktails that are arranged according to their base spirit.
Explore the brandy department for a traditional sidecar and more, or go into the rum section for a refreshing daiquiri. Yugen is an immersive experience that invites guests to appreciate the creativity behind each drink in a calm and elegant setting. It's more than just a traditional cocktail bar.
