Interesting place beside the railway in Hanoi.  Great vibes - fueled by a great selection of 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s Western music... Good selection of premium Vietnamese liquor brands.  Will have to try it the next time. The place may be small but it's very cozy. PRO TIP:  If you like a non-touristy place to experience the famous Vietnamese train pass by, then this place might be for you.  Check out the train schedule (for you to have the perfect timing).

Friends who visited Hanoi told us this place was a must go. They couldn't have been more right. We tried a variety of special flavored Vietnamese rice wines while watching the train pass by. The team here spoke great English and was especially knowledgeable. Great experience all around, and we can't wait to visit again.

On the less touristy end of the train tracks. Cute little bar with some food options

Cool place with interesting fusion sharing plates. We didn’t love the fried fish roles… the stuffing was unusual and lacked the quintessential Vietnamese aromatic herbs. The stuffed squid was better, really well-cooked but the stuffing could have been more interesting. The smoked duck was a stand out…. Luscious and super tasty. Enjoyed the rice wine. The prices are quite dear but unfortunately they do take credit card.

Great bar and great staff. Right next to the train tracks so it's a really cool setting. The rice wine is very tasty and interesting. Will definitely be back!

If you want to experience drinking in a pub in a totally different way then you should visit the Ray Quan Pub located in Hanoi, Vietnam. It is located so close to the railway track that when you sip in either a beer or whiskey or anything drink and you suddenly see the train very nearby, then it means a whole new different world all together. It has very small seating capacity. But even then it is a once in a lifetime experience for all of you that are planning to visit Hanoi and want to have some drinks. From food and drinking perspective as well they have authentic Vietnamese cuisines along with the their local craft beers and lots more. It is a must visit place.

A typical Hanoian atmosphere pub that serves you all the best of local food, local rice wine quit a pinch of foreign vibes. Customize a specific menu just for own occasions. Highly recommended!

Super friendly, awesome vibe, great rice wines and food. Manager speaks impeccable English and really enjoyed our chat with him about Hanoi and life in general. Fried spring rolls were the best we had in Vietnam.
