This place has been on my list awhile and finally went last night for a drink before dinner with my partner. It was a great space to just sit and drink and talk! If we didn’t have dinner plans after, we def would’ve stayed hours just talking, enjoying the atmosphere, and the cocktails! My partner got a whiskey sour and I got the passion fruit mojito and both were very good. We’ll definitely be back. Really good cocktail prices for Thao Dien!!!

Have been going to Twist for around 7 years, for many people it is a home away from home thanks to the amazing staff. Some nights you can catch an open mic, live DJ sets, or just enjoy the chill atmosphere. Truly a one of a kind place.

One of the best bars in HCMC! The owner is the most amazing, customer focused person and her staff follow suit. Super chill vibe and great cocktails!

Twist is a cool, welcoming spot and is a pillar of the community. Drinks are reasonably priced, staff is very friendly, the vibe is fun. The owner is one of the most warm and caring people around, she makes you feel like family. Twist attracts a lovely mix of people, both locals and expats, and is a hotbed of creativity. Events like the open mic and open decks are fun ways to meet folks and give platforms to local creatives. TD wouldn’t be the same without Twist.

We got the coconut Vietnamese coffee (ca phe dua) which was so good! Staff was super friendly and the space was so cute. I believe this cafe spot turns into a bar at night which is really cool.

this street coffee n bar got my attention with its live music on wednesday night. rather an indie vibe to accompany with a beer. local style table, rather vintage but still comfy. highly recommend take a beer than the cocktails. expats gather around this place because of their vibe and beer. the live music is creative and good enough but the sound system is bad. hence, if you are looking for a place to gather with friends after a pickle ball set, to have a drink before going to club, enjoy morning coffee or searching for a little indie music- this is the place

Amazing place, owners and the whole team work at Twist always bring such a friendly welcome vibe, just like you are coming home. It's a very nice place mixed between a local Vietnamese coffee place and with foreigners. I love everything in that place. Beautiful people often visit their place. So highest recommended
