Brunch, then G&Ts till dark
Downstairs from the speakeasy hidden above a liquor shop, Gin38 turns the same Samsenthai Road address into a day bar. Brunch runs from 7am, aimed squarely at the office crowd who work this stretch of downtown Vientiane.
By afternoon it's G&Ts by the glass, carrying straight through into evening. Most Vientiane bars chase a nightlife slot; this one is built around drinking in daylight instead.

Loved this place, the aesthetic from outside to inside is perfect for any occasion. Environment was clean from counter to toilet. Food was also good but could add more menu options for the main dishes, they were more of “dinner” dishes and might not be suitable for lunch. Service was also fast and employees were very respectful.

✨ Review of a Great Cafe in Vientiane – Gin39 ✨ If you're looking for a chill place with a great atmosphere and delicious food in Vientiane, I highly recommend Gin39! 🌿🍸 From the moment you step inside, you'll feel the warmth and style. The decor is a blend of elegant simplicity, modern design, and a friendly, welcoming vibe. Soft lighting creates a romantic and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a romantic dinner with a special someone or a chill hangout with friends. The service was exceptional. The staff were attentive, caring, and friendly, always smiling and ready to recommend dishes. It felt like having a meal at a friend's house. 😊 The food here is excellent. The flavors are well-balanced, the ingredients are high-quality, and the presentation is beautiful – perfect for photo opportunities! Both the main courses and drinks are top-notch. And you absolutely can't miss the signature dessert, the "Tiramisu" 🍰 It's the highlight of the meal! The texture is incredibly smooth, the coffee aroma is just right, not overly sweet, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. It's the perfect ending to a meal that I'll definitely order again. 💬 Summary: This cafe has it all: great atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food, and amazing desserts. Anyone who comes to Vientiane and doesn't visit this place is missing out!

The food tasted average, but meat was of good quality. The upbeat music felt a bit too loud and disturbing for me. Many girls came to take photos, but the lighting was quite dim, making it difficult to get good pictures of the food. So it’s a bit difficult to understand why people would come here. Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes? The cocktails felt similar to the ones upstairs: more focused on presentation than taste, and a bit too sugary for my preference. Perhaps this is what most customers enjoy.
