Sạc Station Station Lounge in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City

Sạc Station is the kind of address locals call a charging station: drop in after work, eat and talk, then stay late once the music rises. At 6 Tran Hung Dao in District 1, beside the central roundabout and next to the Bui Vien backpacker quarter, it is easy to find and convenient for groups of friends and international visitors alike.

Also known as: Quán nhậu Sạc Station.

Where is Sạc Station? Address and opening hours

Sạc Station sits at 6 Tran Hung Dao, Pham Ngu Lao Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City — a street-front spot in the centre, a few minutes on foot from Bui Vien, Ben Thanh Market and 23/9 Park. It opens 16:00 to 02:00 every day, weekends and holidays included, so you can arrive in the late afternoon and stay past midnight.

An industrial room: raw concrete, steel and neon

The design commits to an industrial direction: bare concrete walls, exposed steel structure and layered neon signage throughout. The result reads underground and street-side rather than polished lounge — and it is a large part of why the venue photographs so well from almost any angle.

Food, live music and the late hours

Sạc Station runs as a complex: the kitchen serves from late afternoon with a menu built around sharing plates and group combos, while the entertainment programme starts after dark with live music and DJs. The room fills as the night goes on, especially at weekends. The venue also handles birthday décor for guests who book ahead.

Table options at Sạc Station

There are four ways to book. Standard Table suits 2–4 guests in the main room; Group Table takes 4–8 on a long table for bigger parties; Stage-side Table seats 4–8 beside the performance area; the VIP Area is for 8–15 guests who want a private space, ideal for birthdays or company gatherings.

Drinks and menu at Sạc Station

As a combined dining and entertainment complex, Sạc Station serves food as well as drinks rather than drinks alone. The menu is split into shared plates for the table, drinks by the glass and bottle service, published with listed prices on the venue menu page. Since the venue opens in the afternoon, groups eating first and staying on should read it and order in the right sequence.

An open-air neon block rather than a single room

What surprises first-time guests at Sạc Station is the scale: this is not one room but a multi-level open courtyard, scaffolding steel stacked several storeys high, the façade packed with neon in every colour — SẠC in green and red up top, a map pin shaped like a beer glass, a WHERE? sign, boards naming the days of the week. Sheets of clear plastic hang from the roofline catching the light. Real trees grow straight out of the floor with string lights wound round their trunks. Timber tables painted red and green are packed close together, and on weekend nights there is barely a free one. The ceiling is the actual sky, which makes this a place you can still sit on a humid Saigon evening.

Getting to Sạc Station

Sạc Station is at 6 Tran Hung Dao, at the District 1 end of the avenue — a major road running straight from the centre through to District 5, so it is easy to reach from any direction and drivers need no further explanation. About five minutes by car from Ben Thanh Market and walkable from Pham Ngu Lao. The wide frontage makes dropping off easier than in the alleys around Bui Vien.

Photos of Sạc Station

The Sạc Station photo set on this page has eleven real photos taken at 6 Tran Hung Dao. The wide view shows the whole open-air yard under a real sky: scaffolding steelwork stacked several levels high, a frontage covered in neon signs with the green-and-red SẠC letters up top, a WHERE? board, a map pin and the days of the week, clear plastic strips hanging from the roof and catching the light, and live trees planted in the middle of the floor wrapped in string lights. Red and green painted timber tables sit packed with guests. A close-up shows the entrance gate clad in yellow metal with giant SAC letters, construction-style warning signs and the word VUI with lightning bolts — the “charging station” spirit regulars know as quán Sạc on Tran Hung Dao.

Reviews of Sạc Station

Sạc Station holds 4.5 stars from more than 150 reviews on Google Maps. Guests mention it for a scale rare in central District 1: not a single room but a multi-level open-air neon block, serving food from the afternoon and switching to live music and DJs after dark, photogenic from every angle. Many people search for it as “quán sạc quận 1” or “sạc trần hưng đạo” — it is this address. A real caveat: on Friday and Saturday nights there is hardly a free seat, especially near the stage, so book ahead; the ceiling is the open sky, so on rainy days ask the venue about seating. Nightclub.com.vn also collects reviews from guests who booked through the platform and actually showed up — see the Reviews block below.

Sạc Station menu

The Sạc Station menu runs to 34 pages, all viewable via the View menu button on this page. The book opens with the venue's own statement — a lightning bolt as its symbol, wanting guests to “recharge” after a long day — then moves into food, which takes up most of it: seafood such as salt-and-chilli grilled catfish, blood cockles in several sauces and Japanese scallops grilled with cheese; clay-pot dishes such as seafood tofu, seafood vermicelli and seafood fried rice with egg; spicy and sour beef tendon soup, Sichuan beef soup and shrimp soup with winter melon. The soft-drink section covers sodas, energy drinks, mineral water and a fruit platter; the rest is table packages. Groups eating from the afternoon should flip through first to plan the order.
