Nice cocktail bar. Drinks are on the expensive side. Just be careful and check your bill. There were only a few people on a Monday night (March 9) and yet they overcharged us. We did ask them to correct the bill. They did correct it but they still charged the wrong amount. Check the amount before you swipe. We overpayed 50k VND. We did messaged them in IG but no reply.

I recently had the chance to visit ChinChin Bar, and I was honestly quite impressed with the overall experience 🍸. The bar is located on the first floor and is a little hidden, but once you step inside, it has a cozy and private atmosphere. The lighting is just right for a cocktail bar, and the vibe becomes livelier as the night goes on. The music was also really good—not too loud at first, so it was still easy to have a conversation and enjoy drinks with friends. I tried two cocktails with completely different styles: 🍸 Good Things Take Time – This was the lighter and easier-to-drink option. It had a smooth and slightly creamy taste, with a pleasant aroma and no strong alcohol hit from the first sip. If you're new to cocktails or prefer something light and easy to enjoy, I would definitely recommend this one. Drinking it slowly allows you to appreciate the different layers of flavor, and the finish is quite smooth. It’s perfect for relaxing, chatting, and enjoying the atmosphere without feeling like you’re simply drinking alcohol. 🥃 No Guts No Story – This one was completely different. It’s a stronger cocktail for those who enjoy a more intense drink. It was served in a skull-shaped glass/container, which looked really unique and made for some great photos 😆. The alcohol flavor was much more noticeable, with a warmer and stronger sensation. It definitely had more character and was a fun choice for anyone who enjoys stronger cocktails. I would recommend drinking it slowly because the alcohol level becomes quite noticeable after a few sips. One thing I really liked about ChinChin is that the menu offers a variety of signature cocktails with descriptions of their flavors, making it easier to choose even if you’re not very familiar with cocktails. The bartenders were also friendly and willing to recommend drinks based on your preferences and drinking level. The bar isn’t very large, but that actually gives it a cozy and intimate atmosphere. As the night gets later, the vibe becomes even more enjoyable. Considering the location in District 1 and the overall cocktail experience, I found the prices reasonable. Overall, I was quite satisfied with the atmosphere, music, service, and especially the quality of the cocktails. It’s definitely a place worth checking out if you’re looking for a cocktail bar where you can enjoy a lively atmosphere while still being able to relax and have a conversation. 🍸✨

We came to Chinchin for drinks. Setting is lovely. Range of drinks is excellent. We tried four cocktails and all were good and reasonably priced. Staff were super friendly and very experienced - they also gave us a lovely free shot! Can’t wait to visit at a weekend!

This was the best bar experience I’ve ever had. My sisters and I went here after eating dinner at Rice Field, a restaurant I definitely recommend. Chin Chin was a bit empty when we arrived around 9pm on a Tuesday night. The music was a bit loud, and the first few songs were a bit too vulgar for my taste. Later on, they played better music. Anyway, this review is late, so I can’t remember the bartender’s (mixologist?) name. But, he was the best! He was engaging and got to know us. He even created drinks for us based on our personalities and our tastes. What made me the happiest was that each drink from both the menu and the bartender’ choices represented Vietnam in some way. This met my expectation of a having a cultural experience and not just standard drinks. Definitely a 5-star experience. [We didn’t eat the food here, so my review doesn’t include that.]
