Thirty 59 occupies a Thao Dien address that draws a crowd without advertising itself loudly — walk-ins on Saturdays sometimes have to get lucky with timing, as the review from one table confirms. The kitchen runs a Spanish-inflected menu of sharing plates: fresh oysters, truffle fries, tuna, and an outside skirt beef that earns consistent mentions across tables. The bar keeps cocktails inventive and within reason for a District 2 evening out. The sangria at 280,000 VND is the signature order — balanced, refreshing, and ordered again before the first round is finished.
The setup is open-air, and the natural cross-breezes that move through the terrace on warm evenings make it one of the more comfortable outdoor wine spots in the neighborhood. Lighting is low and warm without being theatrical. The crowd skews toward couples and small groups, drawn by the pace of the place: attentive staff who clear tables promptly, food that pairs well with a longer wine list than most bars around here are willing to maintain.
The wine program stocks both familiar labels and bottles that don't appear on many Saigon menus, and the team navigates the list without being precious about it. The Spanish-leaning food has been adapted with enough local awareness that it reads as considered rather than imported wholesale. Pricing across food and drinks sits at a level where most tables end up ordering more than they planned to — a complimentary cheesecake at the end of the meal is the kind of small gesture that brings people back. Closed Mondays; open from 5 PM Tuesday through Sunday.
A fantastic hidden bar tucked away in a charming little spot surrounded by greenery. The bar architecture is lovely and has a great atmosphere. The sangria is excellent, and the croquetas are delicious. The music is spot on, creating a relaxed and vibrant vibe. A wonderful place to spend the evening, I highly recommend it!
Hidden alley gem with a cozy, funky indoor/outdoor space and good music as well as pet-friendly. Love the idea of old movies on the projector on wall. The staff is helpful, but they could be more proactive with customer service and recommending wine pairings. It'd be really helpful if they described the Lignum red blend to guests; since it's organic, it's much lighter and won't be as medium or full-bodied as a conventional red blend. - Must try: Cá trứng (fried anchovied w. tamarind sauce👍), Cannelloni, seafood platter. - Wine: Bestheim Riesling.
We spend a lot of time in Thảo Điền and honestly… not many places have the full package. Good food, good drinks, music that actually makes you want to stay, a beautiful space, and prices that still feel fair. This place does. We always leave happy… usually later than planned.
Thao Dien's Best Kept Secret If you are looking to escape the crowds and the city noise, this place is an absolute hidden gem. It is the definition of a perfect summer night: intimate, beautiful, incredibly relaxed, and with a vibe that feels like being in a close friend's garden. The food is fantastic, offering a creative neo-bistro style that pairs perfectly with their drinks. They also have an amazing happy hour, and their wine selection is really interesting and offered at a great price. It is a stunning, peaceful corner of the neighborhood, and I will definitely be back. Highly recommended if you want something authentic and away from the masses!
Honestly didn’t expect this place to become such a big part of my life haha. Came the first time just for a drink and to check it out… and somehow I just kept coming back. Not only because the wine is great, the music is always on point, or the food is actually really good… but mostly because of the people. Somewhere along the way the team stopped feeling like staff and became real friends. That’s pretty rare these days. Feels more like coming home than going out. And love Tra So much 😘😘😘
