The Observatory

The Observatory is an electronic music nightclub in Ho Chi Minh City. Events use an indoor Club Room and an outdoor Terrace, with different DJs programmed in each space.[1][2]

Rooms and programme

Choose a night by its lineup. Recent programming includes house and techno, while individual guests can cover other electronic styles. Arcan also promotes events at this address, so an Arcan event listing should be checked for its actual venue.[1][2]

Address and timing

Use 85 Cach Mang Thang Tam when arranging transport. Opening and closing times depend on the event; do not assume that a previous event's timetable applies to another date.[1][2]

Admission

For 15 October 2026, the operator advertises Le James B2B Dan Lo on the Terrace and Levi Oi in the Club Room, from 9 PM to 3 AM. Admission is VND 100,000 at the door only, with an 18-plus minimum. These conditions apply to this date, so check another event separately before travelling.[3]

October venue notice

The operator describes October 2026 as its final month in its current home in the 1 and 15 October event notices. Those notices still advertise events at 85 Cach Mang Thang Tam. Check a fresh operator announcement before planning a later visit; they do not establish a new address or a permanent closure date.[3][4]
