House of Barbaard Bar

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

A refined sanctuary where cocktails weave tales of iconic figures

 

Ministry Social Club, formerly known as Ministry of Men, is a sophisticated retreat reminiscent of heritage Dutch shophouses. Blending work and play seamlessly, this intimate space is adorned with rich wood, supple leather, and bespoke furnishings, all bathed in a warm, inviting glow—the perfect setting for an evening of cocktails and conversation.

Each cocktail at Ministry Social Club is a carefully crafted homage to a legendary figure, capturing their essence in a glass. David Attenborough channels the wild with earthy notes of beetroot, fennel, and corn, evoking the depths of the jungle. Meanwhile, Marilyn Monroe is an irresistible mix of Tito’s Vodka, Maraschino cherry liqueur, beetroot jam, and berries—its luscious red hue a nod to the glamour of Hollywood’s golden age.
