To truly have a complete and standard experience and avoid feeling bewildered and confused, tourists need to equip themselves with some basic knowledge before opening the door to any bar. Some basic things when going to a bar include:
Nowadays bars are no longer places that only serve alcoholic drinks. With a long history of formation, it is even deeply rooted in lifestyle and has become a cultural feature in many countries, reflecting the social image of each region and expressing the lifestyle of guests.
If you are a fan of bustling places or need to organize a lively meeting, the rooftop bar may be more suitable. If tourists just want a ‘hidden’ place or meet a friend or two for a close chat, discreet speakeasy-type bars will be a better choice than open spaces.
The main responsibility of bartenders as well as bar staff is to serve customers delicious cocktails and dishes, combined with a comfortable seating and space. However, not all customer convenience falls under the responsibility of service staff.
For example, the fact that a customer’s phone needs to be charged is a personal property and need. Therefore, visitors should not take it for granted that the bar is equipped with charging sockets from Android to iPhone.
Unlike popular pubs or regular night clubs, most bars in Vietnam focus on a luxurious and sophisticated image. Therefore, tourists getting drunk, acting uncontrollably, affecting everyone around them is extremely offensive behavior.
It cannot be denied that both the space and the impact of alcohol bring the drinker a happier, more pleasant mood. From there, sometimes tourists tend to open up more to people around them, even strangers sitting at the next table. However, it is important to remember ‘moderation’ and ‘control’.
An important thing to remember when going to bars is to not forget to tip the bartender if the customer has had a satisfactory experience at the bar. Doing this is not only a way to praise and support bartenders and service staff, but it is also a way to show social and cultural understanding of guests.
Normally, the average tip usually ranges from 10% – 20% of the total bill, depending on the customer’s financial ability and satisfaction level based on criteria such as service attitude and good taste delicate,…

Impress travel were amazing. Did my bookings with Daniel for our tour of Vietnam and I must say Daniel was very professional and prompt with his services. All the arrangement, plans, pick-up & drop-off services, hotels, vehicles, sightseeing tours and guides were spot on and excellent. Did 4 nights Hanoi, 1 night Hà Long Bay cruise, 3 nights Hoian, 4 nights Saigon and 1 night in Can Tho. It was totally awesome. Every part of the journey was superbly arranged and planned. I will highly recommend Impress Travel for anyone interested in visiting Vietnam. Very organized and reliable!
I booked with Impress Travel in July. My contact person was Tommy Thang. He is an amazing person. He was very helpful. He changed my program twice for me. Very accommodating!

Thank you once again Mr.Tommy and the Impress Team.
