Tricky pricing.,

Take care about prices and happy hours, they add service fee and not everything as same as seems.

Une très bonne adresse

In the city center of Saigon, backpacker area, very good atmosphere and especially very pretty boys. The only gay venue that is open late at night. I had a great time. Would go again.

A super place

What a great, beautiful place to go out, staff is very friendly, great dance music and very cute guys. The location is super handy since it is located in the heart of the pack packers district (district 1). I had a super night here and will definitely return when I am back in Saigon. Republic is a big plus for the local gay community and the (gay) tourists.

Really disappointed

This place is not open on a Monday or Tuesday night as we tried both and it was closed. Tonight it was open but there were no clients and the barman has very limited English and only one very expensive choice of whiskey which had one nip left in the bottom of the bottle. Really sad as this area of the city very much needs a good gay bar. The decor is very nice but someone who knows what they are doing needs to manage the bar every night to draw a larger crowd.

Friendly and inviting. The drinks are cheap and the staff are a lot of fun. Weekdays are pretty laid back and weekends are packed wall to walls with guys who just want to dance and have a good time. Lesbian, straight friendly as well so bring any of your friends without a worry. I go often. It's a good time.

Still open (still) fun

We went last night. It’s fun, full of cute guys. A bit small and table focused, but dancing after the shows. (Hoping tonights’s shows will be different!)...oh, and pricey drinks!

Great VIP

Great place for VIP! Love the place. Seems tho that the crowd is shy. Not everyone is dancing and having fun just watching each. I guess they're cruising. Lots of cute guys. Staff are great too!

Expensive and empty

Visited at around 10 p.m. on a weekday. The place is nicely decorated but quite expensive for Vietnam, a can of Budweiser above 3 USD. The staff are not welcoming, nor unfriendly, just totally not interested. There were only 3 other visitors. Maybe it's nice on weekends, I don't know.

Worth going

I went tonight - its small, but definately a good place to see handsome men and a decent drag show. The music is, IMHO, very good, but it was mostly EDM dance remixes to top-40s. The drinks are expensive, but its a bar, so what do you expect?

Jumped the shark...

I came there on a Friday night around 11 p.m. There were like 3 guests at the spot. They charge you 165 000 VND for a gin tonic... After I finished I was trying to get in eye-contact with one of the waiters to order another one (as the music is so loud that you can't talk to them). Unfortunately their mobile phones seemed more important to them. I can imagine that this once was the place to be, but now it seems to be quite dead.

deafening cocktail bar

For a start you can't choose where you sit or stand yourself, it will be assigned to you upon arrival. Prices comparable to Europe. Don't even expect to be able to speak with anyone you are with. Music starts loud and the volume only goes up.

Nice atmosphere

It is a nice space, bar has nice atmosphere and friendly educated crowd. Every time when I come back to this city I always visit. However, it is quiet on weekdays and starts kicking off from Thursday. Nice drag show every Friday.
