    A great escape on a hot day for a Movie and Smoothie

    fatalbert recommends this,

    Located just a few door up from the main cross street of Bui Vien street in the middle of the the Back Packer District of Ho Chi Minh City, Bobby Brewers is a an ideal place to chill and escape the midday heat, heroin junky beggars, shoe shiners, and motorcycle taxi drug pushers, who will persistently pester tourists in this area.

    The staff are friendly and the food is pretty good. Frozen Snickers milk shake is one of my favorites. Best of all they show latest movie releases in the private cinema (lounges about 20 people) on the 3rd floor for free!!. Spacious too with big lounges.

    This used to be my favorite place to hang out with friends a year ago. It's looking a bit old now and when the lights are you can see food and stuff stuck to the seats.

    A group of West African men appear to have permanent seats in the back rows of the cinema and on 2nd floor. They they run their internet scam business from here and watch football on there laptops and talk loudly while the movie is playing. The staff are too timid to do anything about it. So sit on the front rows so you can hear the movie.

    I hope the owners can clean up the place. The staffs are lovely and friendly. Remember to tip them.

    When to Bobby Brewers Coffee on Bui Vien in early June 2010 with three of my mates. First things first---Great Caramel Latte and Cappuaccino, made in front of your eyes from fresh ground beans WOW! And one of the few places we all found that had eggs and bacon served the way you like.

    Two of my mates went to the upstairs cinema alot and I went twice, nice break in the day and the releases were current and the cinema is FREE! Lunch and dinner was a good mix of Western and local dishes, I loved the Chicken Cordon Bleu and the Asian noodle soup thingy, spicy but perfect.

    I'm sure you will enjoy this place, we all did.

    Cheers,

    Beware

    steve1972jones does not recommend this,

    The owners are not nice people. Do not buy a franchise from them, they will rip you off, just ask previous owners who lost everything. Not sure about charity, maybe another way of getting your money. They are now under investigation by MPA(Asia) for showing pirated movies.
