👍👍 Perfect little hideout nested just on outside of Haon Kiem, very friendly staff, and a genuine Dive Bar atmosphere offering draft beer at 35 Dong.. People often mention people, great, staff, beer,

    Interesting bar, very down to earth serving exceptional cheap drinks! Attracts locals and expats, the place is nothing fancy but has a cool relaxed vibe

    Nice wooden classic bar with a lot of ex-pats hanging out. No pounding club music. The price is reasonable. Had a great night there with awesome live music!

    This is where you stumble into, late at night through a layer of smoke for a beer. Get along with other drunks, louts, and rampaging ex-pats as they, and you put on your favorite songs from back in the day as you forget which number of beers you've had along with the year. Up above on burnt tables you've got poker games to bring out the best characteristics of people who regularly stay out best 2am.

    Dive bar with my favourite beer, Halida on Tap closes late into the wee hours of the morning, 6am.

    Great bar away from beer street. Friendly staff. Haven't tried the food but great prices on drinks. Can play your own music too if it's not too busy.

  • 4/5 Matthew E. 1 year ago on Google • 56 reviews
    A nice very small bar with a wonderful view. The Elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor so you will need to take one flight of stairs. The bar is not very busy at all so you will get good service. A nice selection of liquors. Prices are a little higher than normally but far less than some places.

    Nice bar with reasonable prices. Music is not too loud so you could have a talk with your friends. Only ordered drinks so don't know about the food options.

  • 5/5 Iván G. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite bar in the city. A small pub-like bar with lovely owners and a lot of fun nights.

  • 5/5 Cory B. 6 years ago on Google
    Awesome local dive, well priced cocktails and they won't upcharge you to pick your variety of base liquor like most places around the Old Quarter will. There's a computer on the wall where patrons can line up the next song on the playlist. Super friendly and helpful staff who'll play you Texas Hold 'Em.

  • 5/5 Jack R. 5 years ago on Google
    All time favorite bar in Hanoi. Home to many expats and local Vietnamese that speak really good English. You can expect cheap beer and your chance to play DJ. Cheers

  • 5/5 dominique m. 3 years ago on Google
    Spy bar is like entering heaven. When those pearly glass gates open I can smell the delicious hops of Halida. The bar maid, Trang was a Goddess amongst beauties

  • 5/5 Alex S. 5 years ago on Google
    Spy Bar is one of my favorite bars in all of Hanoi. I go there when I like to listen to relaxing and chill music with like-minded people. The staff there is absolutely amazing. They treat me and my friends like family every time we walk in, and know exactly what we want. They have the cheapest beer in the Old Quarter (Hoan Kiem), and I've always meet wonderful people there. Certainly a place where westerners like to hang out late at night. Oh, and they have pool tables upstairs!

  • 5/5 Lan M. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice and cozy pub to hang out with friends

  • 5/5 Ltp L. 4 years ago on Google
    Small , hidden, nice staff they will never cheat on your money. Other places will probably take advance to do anything to get customers pay more for the bills.

👍👍 Sitting in a sea of bars and restaurants is Xofa Café & Bistro. It’s a cozy cafeteria to be in, especially after having a filling meal nearby. It also looks Christmas-y for its decor! At night, the al fresco setup is perfect for friends catching up.

👍 Going to Hanoi without enjoying this iconic alcoholic beverage is a mistake. Bia Hoi is not simply beer, but it is also a deep cultural feature of Hanoi people. We can easily find beer shops on every street, from big streets to small alleys. And Thu Hang Beer is one of the famous brands, with shops...
