Heart of Darkness Craft Brewery

“Top spot for the best craft beer and amazing fusion and international food. They produce the beers for several craft beer brands in Thailand and Malaysia so they have established a good international relutation. The tap room has many a wide variety on tap and they have good food deals like burgers on Monday and taco Tuesdays (both are buy 1 free 1).”

“Pretty much the first beer place you need to visit while in HCMC. This is actually my second visit already. Really nice vibes both during daytime and in the evening. Plenty of different brews to select from. Nice and friendly service. Lots of different food on the menu, nothing too local though. You get quite a strong US vibe both from the place and layout and from the food menu, starting with weekly deals and whatnot. I personally would love to see some Vietnamese cuisine on the menu or at least Vietnamese-style twists on these.”

“📍 ʜᴇᴀʀᴛ ᴏꜰ ᴅᴀʀᴋɴᴇꜱꜱ ᴄʀᴀꜰᴛ ʙʀᴇᴡᴇʀʏ - That first evening for my friends in Saigon felt like it had been waiting for us. I took them fresh off the plane, we raced to their hotel only to freshen up and go straight back out, because I knew Heart of Darkness Craft Brewery would be the kind of place to shake off jet-lag, reconnect, and ease into the trip. We hadn’t seen each other in nearly two years, and with a rough itinerary looming, we needed somewhere that felt relaxed yet special. The brewery itself is a feast for the senses. A robust taproom, moody lighting, industrial-chic design, plus indoor and outdoor seating that balances intimacy with energy. The beer list is wild. Dozens of core and rotating brews that push flavour, aroma hops, experimental styles, seasonal sours and surprisingly delicate pales. It’s no surprise they’ve picked up awards regionally and internationally. Food here doesn’t trail behind. On our table were burgers, salads, wings, oysters and everything was cooked perfectly. The food is infused with enough creativity to avoid feeling generic. People always ask me "but why not Vietnamese food". Vietnam, specifically Saigon has an amazing international and fusion scene that shouldn't be missed out on. Don't limit yourself to local food when travelling, That's the hill I'm willing to die on.”

“Love it here!! I came here three times within a week in Ho chi minh. The price of the foods and drinks reasonable and the staff named Kien created a really good impression since my first visit. Will recommend this place to everyone 💖💖”

“Nice place, great beer, and friendly staff. I tried a cocktail first and then the beer, since I heard they are famous for their brews. Both were really good and not too expensive given the central location”
