About EMPIRE Club

About Empire

Empire Club, also branded Empire Music and nicknamed “the Night Empire” (Đế Chế Về Đêm) by regulars, is a big-production Vinahouse club in the middle of District 1. Its official site leans on spectacle: dazzling light, immersive music and a luxurious room, plus a history of appearances by Vietnamese pop names such as Jack, Trúc Nhân and K-ICM.

Music and atmosphere

The soundtrack is Vinahouse, the high-energy Vietnamese style of house that drives most local clubs. Behind the booth sits a sculpted centrepiece framed by LED walls, with lasers and moving heads working the room all night. The crowd is mostly young locals with a mix of visitors. As the night builds, MCs, dancers and live performers take over the stage, and nights with a guest singer get especially packed. If you have only been to Western-style clubs, Empire is a vivid introduction to how Saigon parties.

How it works and what it costs

There is no traditional cover; you book a table with a minimum spend, and service is built around bottles. Booking-agent listings show these typical minimums (not an official price list):
