The Story

About This Place

Heim sits on a quiet stretch of Ngô Quang Huy, a street that sees less foot traffic than Thảo Điền's busier café strips. The bar's premise is straightforward: classic cocktails, done carefully, with considered modern twists. It holds a sharper standard than most of the neighborhood's casual drink spots.

The signature list runs alongside the classics, and the two complement each other. The Lat Boba Poppin has become a standout — a creamy drink with purple boba that bursts with taro filling, fragrant and smooth rather than sharp. The Port Fog brings coffee flavor to an otherwise classic format. Early Grey and Matcha cocktails round out a list that pulls from familiar references without becoming predictable. The Cherry Blossom Martini draws repeat visitors for its strength as much as its flavor.

Bartenders here are engaged. Guests are encouraged to describe what they're after and work through the menu collaboratively — the team's willingness to explain each drink's story comes through consistently across reviews. That interaction makes an evening here feel considered rather than transactional.

The space is calm and unhurried. A small garden at the back offers a handful of tables suited to long conversations away from the main bar. Music plays at a level that doesn't compete with talking. The overall atmosphere draws a mix of cocktail regulars who come with a specific order in mind and newer drinkers treating the menu as a starting point for discovery.

Open six evenings a week from 7 PM, with a 4.9 rating across 66 reviews, the consistency of the experience is its own signal.

Speakeasy bar, cozy atmosphere, nice place for couples and friends to hangout. The bartenders would hate me for uploading this out-of-menu ramos gin fizz as a review. It took long time to make but was really worth the wait. The other drinks in menu were also fantastic. We had an enjoyable date back then. thanks cac em bartenders for bringing up such good mood ❤

aside from the stylish yet cozy atmosphere and the incredibly well-trained, friendly staff, I asked for a moscow mule and was served their own 'Mule' creation. I have to say, it was honestly one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. 100% recommamdation.

Cozy atmosphere with a nice vibe. Cocktails are strong and come with great stories, but the flavors felt a bit unbalanced and somewhat tasteless. Still, I appreciate the concept and will definitely come back another time to try again.

I took a walk in Thao Dien and found this hidden bar. While other bars in the neighbourhood offer dive bar cocktail quality, this bar sets standard for their classic cocktail. If u are classic cocktail lovers, u would love it. If u have yet or wanna explore sth new new, u can try their list of signature - interesting twist on classic cocktail. I highly recommend Boba, Matcha and Early Grey.
