The owner of The Office is an Englishman from Yorkshire. He has a Vietnamese wife and has been here 21 years. Before that, he spent many years in Malaysia. He came to Asia to work for an oil company.
An excellent bar owner, he was moving from table to table to make sure everyone was comfortable.
Sandwiched by two girlie bars, T-Back and Bearded Clam, The Office is just a regular pub. Last night, a bunch of Vietnamese men, all employees of an oil company, were there to shoot pool and down beer to celebrate some award they had just gotten.
The Office used to have food, but likely stopped due to the severe business downturn during Covid. I joked with the owner that he should at least have pickled eggs behind the bar, and some mushy peas wouldn't be bad either. He said there's still British food in Vung Tau.

"Bearded Clam," It's got to be a classy joint with a name like that! Do they sell tee-shirts?

I prefer “Gutted Salmon” but to each his own.
"Gutted Salmon," as a visual, is more in line with the hairlessness so in vogue these days. Do they have a dress code?

The “Axe Wound” dress code is all flannel.
The "Axe Wound," that should have been the name of the one stripper/logger bar in Ketchikan, Alaska.
