A good day around the Fine Arts Museum can start slowly with coffee and continue into the evening with a drink above the streets. Several of the spots below are within walking distance of The Hammock Hotel Fine Arts Museum, while others are worth a short taxi ride when you have more time to explore.
From a coffee outside on Nguyen Thai Binh to an evening rooftop stop, these recommendations give you different ways to experience the area around District 1.

Best Cafes District 1 Saigon: Coffee During the Day
Goc Coffee
1 min walk from The Hammock Fine Arts Museum
Goc Coffee is just a one-minute walk from The Hammock Hotel Fine Arts Museum at 50 Nguyen Thai Binh. For guests who want to start the day without going far, it is an easy first stop. Our guest note is simple: recommend guests sit outside and take their time with the morning.
Cong Coffee
7 min walk from The Hammock Fine Arts Museum
Cong Coffee at 93 Yersin is around a seven-minute walk from the hotel. If coffee is not the only thing on your mind, we recommend trying the tea too. It gives you another option for a slower daytime stop while exploring the streets around the hotel.
At this distance, it is easy to add a coffee or tea break without needing to arrange a taxi. You can make it part of a morning walk and continue exploring District 1 afterwards.
Cheese Coffee
6 min taxi from The Hammock Fine Arts Museum
Cheese Coffee at 41 Le Thi Rieng is around six minutes by taxi from the hotel. It is an option to keep in mind when you want to explore beyond the immediate area around the Fine Arts Museum. Add it to a wider District 1 itinerary rather than making a special trip just for a quick drink.
The short taxi ride also gives you flexibility. You can visit another part of the neighbourhood first, stop for coffee, then continue with the rest of your plans rather than making the café the only destination.
Cong Coffee, Suong Nguyet Anh
10 min taxi from The Hammock Fine Arts Museum
The second Cong Coffee location on this list is at 136 Suong Nguyet Anh, around 10 minutes by taxi from the hotel. This branch has a vintage-style interior, making it a different setting for a longer coffee outing. If you have time to explore further from the hotel, it is another address to consider.
Because this branch is further away, it can fit naturally into a day when you are already visiting other parts of the city. There is no need to rush back and forth just for a drink.
Ngam Coffee
18 min taxi from The Hammock Fine Arts Museum
Ngam Coffee at 193/19 Nam Ky Khoi Nghia is the furthest coffee stop in this section, around 18 minutes by taxi from the hotel. Our guest note recommends trying the matcha here. Because of the distance, it makes more sense as part of a wider outing rather than a quick coffee run immediately after leaving the hotel.
If you have a quieter day planned, you can build the trip around this stop and give yourself enough time to enjoy the journey instead of squeezing it between other activities.
A slow coffee can also be a good reason not to over-plan your morning. Start with a nearby spot such as Goc Coffee or Cong Coffee, then decide what you want to do with the rest of the day. When you need a break between outings, you can always return to your nest before heading back onto the streets.
Best Rooftop Bars District 1 Saigon: Drinks for the Evening
Mit Rooftop Bistro
7 min walk from The Hammock Fine Arts Museum
Mit Rooftop Bistro at 30 Ngo Duc Ke is around a seven-minute walk from the hotel. It gives guests an easy evening option without needing to arrange a taxi. Keep it in mind when you want to transition from daytime exploring into a drink later in the day.
The short walk means you can leave the hotel and continue your evening on foot, making this one of the simpler options when you want to keep your plans around central District 1.
Weeknd Saigon
6 min walk from The Hammock Fine Arts Museum
Weeknd Saigon at 66 Huynh Thuc Khang is around a six-minute walk from the hotel. If this is on your evening plan, our guest note recommends booking about a week ahead. That makes it one to plan for rather than simply deciding on at the last minute.
If you already know you want to include it in your evening, making the booking ahead of time can leave you free to enjoy the rest of your day without wondering where you will go later.
Twilight Sky Bar
12 min walk from The Hammock Fine Arts Museum
Twilight Sky Bar at 180 Ly Tu Trong is around a 12-minute walk from the hotel. It is another option for guests who want to keep their evening plans within District 1 without taking a taxi. The walk also gives you a chance to experience more of the city streets between the hotel and your evening stop.
It can work well after a day spent exploring nearby attractions, especially if you want to continue your evening without making another long journey across the city.
Mai Sky Rooftop Bar
13 min taxi from The Hammock Fine Arts Museum
Mai Sky Rooftop Bar at 1 Ngo Thoi Nhiem is around 13 minutes by taxi from the hotel. This is a little further out than the other rooftop options, so it can work well when you are already planning to explore beyond the immediate Fine Arts Museum area.
Rather than treating it as a quick stop between nearby places, give yourself enough time for the taxi ride and make it part of a wider evening plan.
The main thing is to plan around the distance. Several of these places are within walking distance, while the others give you a reason to take a short taxi ride and see more of the city.
You can also keep some time for the hotel’s own space between outings, whether you want a pause before heading out or somewhere to slow down when you return.
