The Allez boo bar is where a load of people hang out but we have found the beer and food a little dearer than some of the other places that can be found. I am not saying that the beer is expensive and 35,000 vnd but some of the other bars are selling the same beer for 18,000 / 20,000. The location of the Allez Boo bar makes it as it sits on the corner of Pham Ngu Lao and De Tham.
De Tham has a few bars Go Go Go looks like it is owned by the same people as Allez Boo and the menu is identical. Opposite this is the Buffalo Bar. Both sit on a corner so people watching is the main way of passing the day. The best pub so far is Le Pub. Walk out of Allez Boo along Pham Ngu Lao with your back to the pub and take the first right. It will look like a small alley but is has loads of restaurants and bars. Le Pub is on the right half way down. You walk through the kitchen to get into the bar.

We have chosen the following hotel
Bich Duyen Hotel
Add: 283/4 Pham Ngu Lao street, 1st District, Ho Chi Minh city
Phone: +84.3.8 374 588
Email: BichDuyenhotel@yahoo.com
I have booked this again based on Trip Advisor so lets hope
Well we arrived safely and the hotel is good. It is basic but very clean and is only a few minutes walk to some cool bars and restaurants.
Chanh the guy who runs the place speak perfect English and is really helpful. The breakfast of a small French stick and fried egss though does not sound great is actually really nice and a good start to the day.
