Rare Japanese whisky, poured with Japanese timing
The back bar at Oaksip is stacked with Japanese whisky, including bottles that are genuinely hard to find anywhere else in Vietnam. The cocktails follow the same logic: measured, unshowy, exact.
It's a small, low-lit room down an alley off Pasteur. Ask the bartender what you're drinking and they'll walk you through it, or they'll leave you be. Same alley complex as Pasteur Street Brewing.

In love with Japanese craft spirit cocktail of Oaksip ❤️❤️ The cocktails are really balanced, well-curated and friendly sharing. Plus, cozy place, jazzy vibe. This is must-go spot for cocktail lover and also Whiskey fan in Saigon nha.

Slip down an unassuming Saigon alley and you’ll find Oaksip—the kind of place you don’t stumble into by accident, and won’t forget once you do. Up a narrow staircase, the noise fades and you land in a warm, wood-paneled hideaway that feels equal parts Tokyo precision and old-world speakeasy. Every detail is deliberate—the lighting, the glassware, the quiet confidence behind the bar. The cocktails are exceptional. Not flashy for the sake of it—just deeply considered, balanced, and executed with real craft. The kind of drinks that make you slow down and pay attention. What really sets it apart, though, is the people. The bartenders are sharp, welcoming, and genuinely engaged. One learned his English from family in Philly, which somehow fits the whole vibe—global, personal, and just a little unexpected. This isn’t a “check-the-box” bar. It’s a place you go when you want to feel like you’ve found something. If you’re in Saigon and willing to wander a bit, Oaksip is worth the hunt.

A hidden gem in Ho Chi Minh City! We came across this place by chance on our trip. We had the most wonderful cocktails and got to speak to the bartenders who were all very welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere was lovely, very relaxing music and dim lighting. Would recommend for some good cocktails and chilled atmosphere.
