The adage “it’s 5 o’clock somewhere” is very much the justification for more than one day-time whiskey, bourbon, gin, rum, vodka, tequila or cognac at Anam’s Saigon Bar. To step into this quaint yet stylish bar is to step back to the Indochine era, where its encaustic mosaic floor tiles, rich hardwood finishes, lanterns and black and white photography by renowned Vietnamese photographer Mai Loc create an atmosphere of old-world elegance. The extensive drinks menu is complemented with tapas such as beef short ribs, cold cuts including jamón serrano, chorizo and salami, and spicy braised pulled pork shoulder with Jack Daniels BBQ sauce and apple and fennel slaw. When 5 o’clock does roll around in Cam Ranh, and the sunny, humid day gives way to a cool breeze and then twilight on the bar’s outdoor terrace, the merriment continues as a live singer performs.
