Stir – Modern Classic Cocktail sits a short walk from Ben Thanh Market, tucked away speakeasy-style in the heart of District 1. It is run by Thep Dinh, a former Diageo World Class Vietnam winner and bartender of the year, with Lam Duc Anh, and the bar is staffed by a crew of young Vietnamese bartenders.

The house style is classics with a local accent: the menu is written in Vietnamese and draws on the city's street flavours, while a Truffle Martini is one of the drinks regulars come back for. The approach has earned Stir places on Asia's 50 Best Bars extended list two years running, at No. 58 in 2024 and No. 61 in 2025.

It suits drinkers who want serious, well-made cocktails in an intimate room rather than a party crowd.

Bars tweak their hours and menus often, so it's worth a quick check before you head out.
