Drift above Saigon: Culture-Rich Cocktails at Phiêu Rooftop Pool Bar

Looking for a Saigon night that slows down just a little — lights shimmering, a drink in hand, music low enough to chat? Phiêu Rooftop Pool Bar might be your spot.

Phiêu strikes a rare balance: rooftop views and a pool without the over-the-top glitz, lively enough for a buzz yet calm enough to talk without leaning in.

A Name with a Story

“Phiêu” in Vietnamese means to drift or float — like a boat sliding along the Mekong or a melody that carries you unexpectedly. That sense of gentle motion guides the space.

The design nods to the old Nam Kỳ Lục Tỉnh (Cochinchine) with warm wood, patterned screens, and subtle curves, but it never feels staged. It’s more easy Saigon night than formal history lesson.

Cocktails with Southern Soul

Phiêu shines in its six signature cocktails, each inspired by southern Vietnam’s history and landscapes. Every sip tells a story: floral hints of lotus fields, smoky tamarind evoking hidden caves, and playful banana-and-jackfruit mixes that taste like a floating fair.

Signature Cocktails:

When you sip, you're tasting flavors crafted with local produce and ingenuity, a true taste of the region. That makes Phiêu more than just a bar — it’s a place that gives you flavor memories of place.

Order one and watch as the bartender sends a curl of smoke or a flash of flame across your glass. It’s theatrical without being over the top, the kind of detail your camera loves and your taste buds remember.

When to Go

Avoid if: loud EDM, huge crowds, or gourmet dining are what you’re after. Phiêu is about drinks, views, and atmosphere.

Private Moments

Planning something bigger? Phiêu can host up to about 80 guests, with a full sound system and live bands on request. The team knows how to shape the night: a poolside barbecue, a brand launch, or even a proposal with the city sparkling below.

Imagine a quiet corner set with flowers, the skyline as witness, and a surprise cocktail arriving with a burst of smoke just as you pop the question.

Some Questions You Might Have

Why I’d Go Back

Phiêu isn’t perfect — and it doesn’t have to be. What it really nails is giving you a place to unwind with some style, see the city from above, taste interesting drinks, hear music without shouting over it, and feel something just a little elevated.

Tonight? Grab a friend, head up to Phiêu, try the Tra On Floating Market cocktail, watch the city lights, and let the night drift.
