Carmen

For something really different, make your way up the stairs and basically crawl in a low cave-like doorway of Carmen for Latin music.

Once inside, tables & chairs are scattered. A dim and intimate space with candles burning all around. Make sure to find a good spot by the stage. This is a local favorite and a great place to chill and hang with a bunch of people when you want live Latin music. Not sung by anyone Spanish but by incredible Vietnamese singers having fun bossanova style. Very entertaining.

Since we were there in December, one of the singers decided to belt out a Louis Armstrong number for the holiday season. If I didn't look up, I'd be amazed that Louis was alive and well in Saigon. Besides drinks, they do serve bar snacks & fruit plates. This place is open till the wee morning of 4am.
