there's a lot of nightlife in HCMC, there is 17 saloon in pham ngu lao street, you may also try bui vien st. if you are looking for bars or just a small talk over a bottle of beer with friends at the same time you may also try the different foods from italian to vietnamese foods.

Bui Vien and De Tham area is the most crowded place which a foreigner could enjoy a night life. The main activities is just have some food (many kinds of food from all over the world), or have a drink, or buy some souvenirs. There are some bar there also.
If you wanna shopping, the department stores often close at 10pm, so you should go there early. There are Diamond Plaza, Tax center, Saigon Center, Hung Vuong Plaza... There are some international brands like Burberry, LV or Gucci, if you want. The taxi drivers would know the places, don't worry. And they're not far from each other (except Hung Vuong plaza is far, but you could catch a good movie cuz Megastar cinema is very great and they open till midnight).
And this is my recommend: You could go to Vasco's bar, it's a small nice bar with great decoration. The drinks are not very expensive. Especially on Friday nights there is awesome live music (genre: house music) that begins from 10pm. Vasco's bar is at 74/7d Hai Ba Trung Street, District 1. I love it the most :).

I would recommend "getting out among the locals" & staying away from the tourist haunts in & around District 1.Street eating is a favorite evening activity in HCMC. You can see restaurant diners spilling out onto the pavements in most places away from the overly-strictly policed downtown.A favorite of mine is the "360 Goat Hot Pot" restaurant on Dien Bien Phu street, District 3. It's a great place to linger over a long meal in the same way as the locals. Caution though, it is NOT cozy & intimate. Rather it is raucous & rowdy local street dining very rarely visited by foreigners.

If you like to discover HCM and Vietnam culture also, please try my ideas:

1. F&B:
- Vietnamese Coffee: Trung Nguyen Coffee on Le Loi street - district 1.
- Pho (Noodle): Pho 24 - Nguyen Hue street - district 1 near by Le Loi street.
- Vienamese bread: Nhu Lan bakery - 50 Ham Nghi street - distric 1

2. Enjoy lifestyle:
- At Ben Nghe Pier, take a boat trip 01 round Distric 1 - Binh Quoi Thanh Da.
- Ben Thanh Night market
- Pham Ngu Lao and Bui Vien: most of people there are foreigners


3. Shopping:
- Diamond plaza (Le Duan street dist 1), Parkson plaza (Le Thanh Ton street, dist 1), Lotte Mart (Distric 7) : buy brand product.
- Saigon Squard (Nam Ky Khoi Nghia street): buy fashion export product (please bargain ;))
- Ben Thanh market: export and import product (please bargain), but you can buy some traditional product on the daily time.

4.Pub&Club: for foreigner
- Lush bar - Ly Tu Trong street, district 1 (Hip hop and pop bar)
- Bounce Bar - Floor 5 Parkson plaza, Le Thanh Ton street, dist 1 (hip hop, pop, dancing)
- 17 bar - Pham Ngu Lao, dist 1 (rock ballad, Philipine band).

Enjoy your tour !
