Indika Saigon

Ho Chi Minh City


Tucked down a narrow laneway, the off-the-radar Indika Saigon dubs itself the 'House of Curiosity'. It is definitely worth venturing to, with a barbecue joint and beer bar at the front and the labyrinthine premises used for concerts, open-mic sessions, movie nights and DJs. Check out the Facebook page for listings. Cash only.
