Dress code
Smart casual is appropriate for most premium clubs and rooftops. Closed shoes, a clean shirt or elevated top and neat trousers are safer than beachwear or sportswear.
Money and communication
Carry a payment card plus some Vietnamese cash. Confirm prices in writing when booking a table. WhatsApp and Zalo are commonly used for follow-up communication.
Respect local norms
Follow staff instructions, drink responsibly and avoid photographing other guests at close range without permission. A polite, calm approach works best if a booking detail needs clarification.
