I did spend a long time in Saigon (6 days excluding the three day trip down into the Mekong Delta)...awesome though the place was, there is a reason...I was FUCKING hungover.
Most worthy of mention is Le Pub (www.le-pub.org). As Saigon was the first place I'd really travelled to solo, I was a bit nervous about not having anyone to talk to...pretty much every time I went to this place - and I went pretty much every day - I met funny/interesting/cool people, both expats and fellow travellers. Not only that, the staff were super friendly - a lot of them are ex-street kids that were taken on and Le Pub apparently still donates money to variuous local charities, and the cocktaisl excellent (Wednesday was half-price G&T night)...would really recommend this place to you if you make it to Saigon...Also cool is Tam Tams - just up the street; not quite got the Le Pub vibe but good for watching sport and cheaper beer...also went to Q-Bar but don't really remember that one...
Also AWESOME is the roof-top bar at the Rex Hotel - delicious (but pricey) cocktails and great views...
