sword&tulipz Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) There is a GNR bar in Saigon, Vietnam. Has anyone here visited? I think they used to play GNR 24/7 before, but now they play all kinds of rock music. I wish Axl would open a bar, but I wonder if they could stick to the opening hours...

GnR Chris Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Wow. Cool. Though I listen to Gn'R every day, even I think playing strictly Guns would be too much since they don't have the biggest of catalogs. Something like this would never success in the US. Not many real rock bars around, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I was in Ho Chi Minh this year, would have loved to visit the bar had I known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I've always wanted to go to Nam and I knew Ho Chi Minh city had a GN'R bar (they've also got a nightclub called "Apocalypse Now," pretty neat.)But really, outside of those couple of murals, it doesn't look like much of a Guns pub. I've seen unfurnished basements that looked cooler to drink in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword&tulipz Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Description of bar: DescriptionGuns 'N' Roses was opened in 1991 when the heavy metal band of the same name was still "hot". Murals of the band and of lead singer Axel still watch over the mixed local, traveler and expatriate clientele. Although it is a bar in tribute to Guns ‘N' Roses, the music shows some variety and songs from the 1980s and early 1990s prevail. The featured pool table can be used free of charge. The drinks are generally inexpensive. The staff is extremely friendly and speaks English very well.Some more pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orianthi is dead on, lol. I think you're off on Axl though as I looked and wondered why the guy from Sex And The City was singing lead.That said this place looks great, cool post!

HubbaBubba Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Was in Saigon at the start of the year & can't believe I missed this!However if anyone is in the region, Chang Mai in Thailand has a couple of fantastic rock bars with bands that play note-perfect gnr covers. In one place I tipped the band early in the evening and then they took requests all night. They even had a go at rocking up You Ain't the First for me. Fantastic night!
