Workshop14

A beautifully designed cocktail bar located near InterContinental Westlake, with refined, thoughtful interiors and a cozy, intimate vibe. The cocktails are good, crafted with real care. Service is warm and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Truly a gem in Hanoi, and I’ll definitely be back!

I only had 12 hours in hanoi and workshop 14 was first on my list of places to visit cos I had heard so many good things from my friends. The space itself is sophisticated yet relaxed, intentional but not pretentious. But the drinks were unlike anything I've had elsewhere. Other bars usually throw a bunch of flavors together and call it a day but I think the staff go beyond flavors. There is technique and thought behind every drink which results in carefully layered and something quietly magical about each drink they create. If you want a lovely l intimate experience with friends, come here. If you want run of the mill drinks with loud parties taking intrusive photos every 30 seconds, don't! Also forgot to mention that service was great. I had injured my knee and was wearing a brace. they made all efforts to make sure that I was well taken care of. I just love when a bunch of people passionate about what they do get together and do smth cool like workshop 14. What a truly hidden gem!!

Very intimate and meticulously curated venue. Popped in without a reservation and was given a seat. There is limited seating however so booking might be advised. The place is beautiful but if I had to mention one area of improvement it would be to have more comfortable seating. A small thing however + we had a great time here. More importantly, the cocktails were fabulous. Many contained ingredients that I would never normally consider or have an inclination to try, but were mixed so Intricately that they produced a flavour that was both unique and genuinely delightful. Orded a Manhattan and asked for an additional cherry. They provided it but seemed to ponder the request so I didn't ask for two again on subsequent drinks. Overall, I had some of the best tasting cocktails I have ever had and would certainly recommend to anyone visiting Hanoi.

Workshop 14 is one of Hanoi’s most refined yet relaxed bars. The setting is quietly beautiful, offering a sense of ease unusual in the city’s nightlife. Unlike venues that overstyle themselves into sterility, Workshop 14 strikes balance: polished without being stiff, inviting without being loud. It’s the kind of place where you can linger with friends over a drink and actually feel at ease. Repeated visits confirm the consistency. The central space works best for groups, opening to the bar with an easy flow. The smaller side tables, by contrast, feel cramped for two - more a function of space than intent. As someone who isn’t a heavy drinker, I would welcome a few more snacks on the menu; not essential, but it would round out the experience. In short: Workshop 14 offers sophistication without pretension, making it one of Hanoi’s standout spots for those who want both quality and comfort.

Had an amazing time at Workshop 14! The bartender was super friendly and passionate — he introduced the story behind Terry’s Chocolate Orange and even explained how they use Vietnamese cacao and milk clarification in the cocktail. The drink itself was silky, rich, and perfectly balanced between chocolate and citrus. You can really taste the craftsmanship and care. Highly recommend for anyone who loves creative cocktails with a touch of storytelling!

Came here based on the best bars in the world list and we’re not disappointed. The minimalistic style and the perfectly executed cocktails are a great combo. Service was attentive. Seats at the window a bit hard.

The bar is givin a warm, laid-back vibe with a touch of upscale polish. Soft ambient music, gentle and moody lighting, and smooth, well-balanced cocktails create an easy space to settle into. It feels relaxed but still refined, perfect for a date night or a quiet solo drink.

The cocktails are exceptional; layered, complex, and presented with care and artful creativity. I saw this was in the Asia’s 50 Best Bars and I had to try. Winnie, our host was intelligent, funny and articulate about each drink. The space itself strikes a perfect balance between elegance and ease: stylish without being stiff, intimate without feeling cramped. I couldn’t stick to my usual “just one drink” rule! I’m already planning to return tonight.
