Amazing, amazing , amazing bar! Really low key but the vibes, the decor and the service were spot on! The drinks are more on the expensive side but so worth it! I loved my time there, it was dimly lit and there was no rush to leave! I had no reservation but they did my best to accommodate me and recommended some lovely drinks! No wonder they’re one of the top 50 bars in Asia

Amazing bar! Great drinks, the seasonal mandarin old fashioned was Smokey and classic in taste. The bamboo martini was very pure and smooth. The gin and tonic was a simple yet elegant with the gin. Overall would definitely go back again. Although one point to note for customers coming for the first time would be that the bathroom might be a long wait due to it only having one bathroom for both genders.

First of all. Amazing bar, the atmosphere is perfect and I assume this does a lot for the popularity. The rating is based on the level they are competing/trying to compete at. As a top 500 bar I'd expect a bit more on 2 aspects: - Their seasonal menu felt not super balanced, not in terms of cocktail variation, and the 2 cocktails we had missed some balance aswell. The ideas were good and the ingredients, which they made themselves, felt qualitative. They'd just need to test-run the cocktails a bit more before putting them on the menu. - the service was great at some points, but also very lacking at others. Moments were the bartenders were jusg chatting and where we were sitting 15-20 minutes with empty glasses of water. So overall I could recommend this bar. But if it should be rated as the best one in Vietnam I really don't know.

When we arrived, we were greeted by a small alleyway, which I didn’t expect. It felt like stepping into a secret hideout, lol. Once inside, the atmosphere was fantastic. The staff were all very friendly and approachable, making the experience even more enjoyable. Although I’m not usually a cocktail person, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. All in all, I would definitely return if I ever visit Hanoi again…

Good service and interesting cocktails at a premium price. The staff was warm and attentive. The head manager was helpful in explaining inspirations behind our drinks and off. Make a reservation if possible as this place can get busy.

Might be one of the best Hidden Bar that open from noon at Hanoi. The vibe, the classic style cocktail is really up to the vibe.. the fossil decoration really suit to the classic cocktail style..

The drinks themselves are really good. Incredibly crafted cocktails but make sure you make a reservation otherwise they squash you at the bar even if the table is free.

Cozy atmosphere, with friendly and professional bartenders who genuinely care about guests’ comfort and preferences. I tried the Mandarin Old-Fashioned, a great choice to kick off a fun evening. Much appreciated.
