These are places we like to drink and why we like to drink there.
Get out the house, sit at a bar, drink a Good Gin with whatever these establishment’s talented bar staff recommend.
HÀ NỘI
Liquid Store
Secret and captivating, this bar champions unusual Vietnamese flavor combinations in an intimate environment. Don’t get lost - call ahead for directions - it’s worth it.
The Haflington
Decadent originality, be prepared for extravagant details and exceptional service combined with innovative flavor combinations in modern drinks. A loyal crowd frequent here so book ahead for a coveted bar seat.
Tora Tora
A tiny four seater bar at the entrance leads you through to a simple dining space where you can try a variety of small perfectly created plates which celebrate distinctive Asian cuisine.
Nê Cocktailbar
The original Hà Nội cocktail bar, an early pioneer in the drinks scene. Birth place of the phở cocktail.
Always busy - don’t be disappointed - book ahead.
Tadioto
As vital to the Hà Nội landscape as Long Biên bridge, Tadioto (& Đức) has hosted the city’s poets, dreamers, artists and chancers since any one who calls this city home can remember. Serves sushi and serious whiskies too.
Wong Bar Wine
One of those places only possible in Hà Nội. A teeny tiny 6-8 person bar styled in an homage to the director Wong Kar-Wai & his characters - nonlinear narratives may lead you here.
Akio Lounge
A quiet luxurious lounge underneath the Capella Hotel, a secluded spot for intimate drinks. Headed by the talented taste balancer Sean Halse. Trust the signature drinks.
Cousins - Tô Ngọc Vân
Venture out to West Lake for this chef’s table dining experience. Outstanding dishes for astonishing value delivered in a warm, friendly environment, refreshingly unpretentious. Be sure to find out the daily specials.
Room #210
An impressive back shelf and low lighting perfection are what we love about this hard-to find speakeasy enclave off one of Hà Nôi’s busiest streets. Serves Tapas, perfect to sneak off to afterwork.
SÀI GÒN (we love you too) coming soon.
