Layla - Eatery & Bar

Tucked away on the second floor of a vintage apartment in the heart of District 1, overlooking the iconic Dong Khoi Street, Layla - Eatery & Bar feels like an invitation to linger. Behind the shabby-chic entrance, this stylish sanctuary serves as the sophisticated, cool-as-they-come older sister to Summer Experiment.

Named after Eric Clapton’s legendary anthem, Layla embodies that exact sentiment - an experience that sweeps you off your feet and leaves you wanting more. The space masterfully marries a hint of speakeasy charm with unmistakable Saigonese heritage. There is also a quiet nod to Australia’s hospitality culture - relaxed, genuine and unpretentious, yet always attentive in the ways that matter.

The menu is a curated journey of artisanal cocktails, premium botanicals, and global wines, paired with elevated comfort food thgat you will genuinely crave. Whether you seek the refined comfort of the smoke-free indoor lounge, the breezy romance of the garden terrace, or a relaxed game at the pool table, Layla offers an unpretentious yet sophisticated escape from the urban hustle.

Beyond the cocktail glass, Layla is driven by a grander ambition: to elevate Vietnam’s mixology industry. By fostering the next generation of local talent through education and professional growth, hosting world-class international guest shifts, and showcasing homegrown craft on global stages, Layla is proudly positioning Saigon as a serious contender in the global cocktail renaissance.
