About Frolic Bar

Frolic Bar in Ho Chi Minh City’s vibrant District 1 is a laid-back LGBTQ-friendly venue that opens its doors to both curious travelers and local regulars. It has a modest interior with cozy seating, leaving just enough space for occasional drag performances and themed events that spark camaraderie among patrons. The bartenders put together classic cocktails and experiment with creative mixes, making the drinks menu appealing to those looking for something a little different. Colorful accents adorn the space, subtly reflecting the inclusive spirit of this gay-friendly spot while pop and dance music pump softly in the background. Frolic Bar’s location near popular tourist sites makes it an easy find for visitors seeking a relaxed hangout in Ho Chi Minh City’s gay nightlife scene. On quieter nights, guests can grab a seat at the bar, strike up conversations with the approachable staff, and get tips on nearby late-night eateries. The energy picks up on weekends when a diverse crowd comes by to socialize and enjoy the good vibes. Regulars appreciate the unpretentious feel of the place, and newcomers quickly settle in. It typically stays open late, allowing night owls plenty of time to immerse themselves in the local LGBTQ community.

This place is truly a destination worth visiting. The drinks is the best highlight of the night. Marcus and Puno are incredibly friendly and lovely, bringing amazing energy to the bar. Not only do they give great drink recommendations, but they’re also dancing, and hyping up the atmosphere, making the whole experience fun and truly memorable. Another thing I really loved was that last night was REQUEST NIGHT, where guests could request their favorite songs. The staff were very accommodating and happy to follow the guests’ music preferences, making the atmosphere feel even more personal and welcoming. The prices are reasonable for the quality of service and the overall experience. If you’re looking for a bar with a relaxed atmosphere, high-quality drinks, music that hits the vibe, and genuinely lovely staff, Frolic Bar is definitely a place you shouldn’t miss.

Poor service and unfriendly staff. We had only been there for 20 minutes when the venue was hit with a surprise inspection. Neither the manager nor any representative made any effort to assist the customers. At the very least, they should have offered free drinks or a discount voucher for a future visit, given the unpleasant experience. ​Even while the police were conducting their search, I asked for water so I could use the restroom, and the staff had the nerve to demand 70k for a bottle of water right in the middle of the inspection. This place is only interested in squeezing more money out of you. ​Seeing how they argue and pick fights with customers who leave low ratings in such a low-class, aggressive manner, it's clear this place isn't friendly or professional at all. Avoid this place; it’s not worth a visit. (The truth behind your "strict guidelines" ) You claimed you were 'not allowed to hand out anything' as an excuse for your lack of support. Yet, you were perfectly able to provide free water to the police officers while charging me 70k for a single bottle at that very same moment. ​It seems your 'strict guidelines' only apply when it comes to being decent to your paying customers. Stop using AI-generated responses to hide the hypocrisy and the fact that you only care about squeezing money out of people, even in an emergency.

Visited here with my wife as a night out during our honeymoon. It wasn’t the weekend but it was still super lively and fun. Music a was excellent and, most of all, the staff were SO LOVELY. Super friendly, poured good drinks, and even gave us a cheeky free shot!

Frolic Bar review: Frolic Bar is one of the best places to spend an evening. It’s much better than Chinchin — the atmosphere is relaxed, the drinks are affordable, and the live performances make the experience even more enjoyable. Unlike overcrowded clubs, this place keeps a comfortable number of people, so you can actually enjoy your time without feeling suffocated. A great spot for good vibes, music, and a chill night out.
