Tipsy Department
Liam, the founder of modern cocktail bars Hybrid Nha Trang and Hybrid Saigon, has recreated the place where he used to work.
Ignoring the Japanese design style from the former Irusu Lounge era, Liam has transformed this place into an authentic "dive bar"-style bar, although it is not located in the basement (you can find it on the 1st and 2nd floors, in an alley opposite Notre Dame).
Here, he and baristas like Khin (who used to work at Summer Experiment) bring a space with menus written on blackboards, graffiti-covered walls, and even video games.
The main goal of the bar is to make you "tipsy", with a nostalgic menu – screwdrivers, alcoholic slushies, fresh cocktails and tequila shots – and simple but satisfying snacks like beef stew and bean nachos, Happy Hour lasts 3 hours a day (6-9PM) and opens very late. with staff often reluctant to flip the "closed" sign at 3 a.m.
