Crazy Kim

Now here's a place to let your hair down, catch a game, play a round of pool and take advantage of the aptly named "instant idiot" promotion: all-you-can drink beer and cocktails for 3 hours straight (between $13 and $26, depending on drink types); groups of 10+ get a discount.

Live music is played on some …

Vendors set up shop along Tran Phu Road every afternoon to compete for tourists' attention with wares such as cheap clothing, jewellery, accessories, and traditional souvenirs en masse – if you haggle, you'll likely get a substantial discount. Some stalls sell street …
