Join the revelry at Hoa Son Wine Tower, the only martial arts-style pub in Saigon. Guests will immerse themselves in a lively martial arts space, embodying the criteria of how it appears in movies in real life!
In ancient times, the tavern would undoubtedly be a 2-story building, where guests sat at interconnected tables. In the middle of the floor, there was an old man with silver hair, holding a fan, narrating tales of heroes and legends. From the story of Leng Ho Xung drinking and forming bonds with brothers to the tale of Quach Dai Hiep defending Tương Dương Fortress. The audience below would applaud and praise, then empty a cup of wine, sighing that the martial world is truly vast; it takes many days of travel to reach the other side of the horizon and meet the heroes of the world.

Entering the 21st-century tavern feels like stepping into a different realm, and a visit to Hoa Son Wine Pavilion in District 11 makes it evident. By 9 pm, the place is buzzing with every table occupied, laughter echoing in every corner. On the left, a group of comrades from the soccer team sips on Tiger Silver, passionately discussing the intense match just played. On the right, a few elder brothers resembling characters from the Kieu Phong era, only with slightly larger bellies, proudly wield the Plastic Dragon Saber and the Silver Thread Sword, borrowed for a Facebook photoshoot. In a dim corner, a pair of sisters sips on Saigon Green, their voices tender, eyes slightly teary, perhaps from sentimental feelings, or more likely due to the tongue-tingling Dragon Lady's Tears, generously spiced with chili sauce. No one can escape the spice when the beef is coated in a layer of chili paste, a deliberate touch by the chef to let customers savor the emotions of Lady Dragon waiting for her love for over a decade.

Hoa Son Wine Pavilion – The main difference lies in the smiles
Sipping beer from a bowl, pouring it with flair, dressing in ancient costumes, and addressing each other in a martial arts style – the dining experience is truly unique. The dishes, however, bear names with little to no apparent connection. The appearance of the tavern is eccentric, to say the least. Even the serving girls and the patrons are equally peculiar. The serving girl talks and laughs while pouring wine, and the young lady is toasting with the guests. The tavern owner, Phan Minh Thong, is casually dressed with tousled hair, claiming that the essence of the tavern lies in the martial arts atmosphere, providing a space for carefree relaxation, a sentiment not found anywhere else. Simply look at the tavern rules, and it becomes clear:
1. Drinking beer from a bowl; if you want ice, ask for a cold bandage.
