And though same-sex PDA remains relatively taboo across conservative Vietnam, many of Hanoi's nightlife establishments magically transform into gay sanctuaries once the sun sets.

From cabaret theater performances to pulsating dance clubs, LGBTQ visitors from across the globe join Hanoi's local queer community to freely express themselves amid vibrant lights and basslines.

Suddenly you’re surrounded by drag kings, queens and their supporters, eager for the night to kick off. Keep in mind that full-on extreme PDAs (public displays of affection) are easily frowned upon and will cause offense to some people. Here is the list of the best gay clubs and bars in Ho Chi Minh City that offer an incredible nightlife experience, vibrant atmospheres, and welcoming communities.

Address: 265 Le Thanh Ton, Ben Thanh Ward, District 1  

2. THI Bar Saigon   

Located in the heart of the backpacker street, THI is a small bar featuring live music every night, favoured by gay couples and many others in the LGBT+ community. Notre Dame Cathedral and Ben Thanh Market are a 15-minute walk away. Zac recalls someone coming into the bar who had heard about it before coming to Da Nang from a friend somewhere in Europe.

It’s Zac’s hope to bring more locals to the bar.

The city is where you can get a full idea of how modern Vietnam has thrived from old-fashioned markets and nostalgic back alleys.
