Directions: Head straight north from Hoan Kiem lake along the busy commerical street packed with travellers and you can't miss it.
Phone: unknownThe beer is weak, flat and 5k per dirty glass. The chairs are plastic and uncomfortable, you need to sit on the street if there are more than 2 other people there, you will get pestered by drunks & street hawkers, also it sometimes stinks of drainage. LOVE IT!!! 5 Stars.
I suppose it's fair to say that it is the fun of watching other people that draws most people here. The corner kinda captures the essence of Hanoi: busy, noisy and fun. I totally agree with someone before me who commented on the quality of the beer thing. Let's face it, you cannot expect a good quality beer for just 5k.
Me and my friend hang here once a week. It's fun to watch ppl passing by and it's more fun to grab your chair an jump on the sidewalk when the police comes. :)) Well it's better to be interrupted during your beer time than during your phở time. I don't like the prospect of holding a bowl of phở, standing on the street and waiting for the police to beat it!
The good weather has marked my return to phuong's shop. The beer's not great compared to other spots in Hn but I absolutely adore the old quarter for people watching. Grabbing a not-so-cheap-anymore glass of beer and having a look-see at the huge variety of people who trudge up and down those streets makes for interesting viewing, better than most of the things Hbo throw up for us.
Cheap and flimsy plastic stools, repulsive gutter gonch and a myriad of insects, drunken backpackers, drunken locals, Exhaust fumes and cigarette smoke, clatter and relentless beeping and noise from endless traffic. Not to mention, Street hawkers trying to sell you everything from stamps, lighters, books and "mareewanna" all "Werry Cheapy", dirty glasses, fat Western asses and not a lot of class.
In other words...Fuckin' awesome!
Cheap drinks, open space, chaotic mixture of people. What's there to complain about? A HANOI MUST HAVE
