Lost - Drink & Chill is a clandestine bar tucked away in an alley on Mạc Thị Bưởi Street, embodying the speakeasy spirit. The entrance is unmarked, adding to the allure, guests must find the door and ring a bell to enter. Inside, the space is dimly lit with vintage decor, exposed pipes, and eclectic art, creating a mysterious yet cozy atmosphere. The cocktail menu is a journey through flavors, with drinks inspired by Vietnamese ingredients like lemongrass, ginger, and dragon fruit. The bartenders are mixologists who take pride in their craft, often customizing drinks to suit individual tastes. The music is a curated mix of jazz, lo-fi, and indie, keeping the vibe relaxed. Lost is a favorite among those who appreciate hidden gems and want to escape the city's hustle for a few hours.
