Enjoy music, chat with bartenders, and sip a gentle cocktail alone, all of which you can find at the bars below.
Hanoi during the day is a vibrant and bustling city. But Hanoi at night has a very calm and quiet look. It’s not noisy or rushed, but settles more slowly, whether in restaurants or entertainment spaces.
Bustling bars can be found anywhere in the city. But places that are private and sophisticated enough to enjoy wine alone are not available everywhere. Let’s see the suggestions below.
1. Tadioto
Tadioto at first glance resembles an art gallery. From wall paintings, and artistic decorations to fabric-wrapped lanterns, everything exudes the warmth and sophistication of the shop.
10 years ago, writer Nguyen Quy Duc designed Tadioto for gatherings and meetings with his friends. Today, Tadioto is always an attractive meeting place for writers, poets, and artists to meet or sit and enjoy a cocktail, finding creative inspiration in the heart of Hanoi.
From Anouar Brahem to Ibrahim Maalouf, Pham Duy to Le Cat Trong Ly, you can completely immerse yourself in a melodious music space and watch Hanoi take on a new, more secluded outfit at night.
If you are a cocktail fan, you can choose a refreshing Coc Cocktail or Mojito Cane. Otherwise, Vinoir Cabernet Sauvignon is always a safe and pleasant choice for the evening here.
Opening hours: 17:00 – 21:00
Address: 24 Tong Dan, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi
2. Les Amants Reguliers
Located at the end of Tran Hung Dao Street, not too crowded, Les Amants Réguliers makes the first impression on you with the bold red neon lettering on the shop’s signboard. With an open space, perfect for lighting to music. Deep brown is the main color tone that creates a sense of privacy. Even if you sit alone, you will still feel the warmth and romance thanks to the yellow lights and the melodious melodies of French love songs.
Every afternoon after five o’clock, the space inside the shop is used to welcome “everyday lovers” who want to confide in detail with a bit of soft alcohol.
If you come here alone in the evening, consider a warm glass of Mulled Wine for a chilly day. Or to be more passionate, you can sip a glass of elegantly decorated Angel Face. This place is very famous for its exquisite and diverse wine bottles for your reference.
Not only serving great cocktails or wine, Les Amants Réguliers also gives you a complete and diverse experience with themed music nights or open mics every week.
Opening hours: 17:30 – 21:00
Address: 15B Tran Hung Dao, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi
3. Bee’Znees
The two unique owners of the shop have brought lovely yet sophisticated features to the space here. You will be deceived as soon as you enter the facade. The bookcases arranged like a library will make you struggle to find the door that opens to the small staircase leading to the second floor.
Interesting architecture and music style of America in the 20s – 30s, the restaurant’s “signature” menu with curious names like Jack, Queen, King, Ace, and Joker,… will definitely impress you. Your evening alone becomes much more interesting and exciting.
Whether you’re wearing a gorgeous dress to enjoy a colorful evening or wearing a normal t-shirt or shirt for a gloomy day, you can easily find a “nook” for yourself.
Savana, Penicillin, or Jasmine will definitely be perfect for your own evening alone.
Opening hours: 19:00 – 21:00
Address: 163 Phung Hung, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi
4. Bo/en Cocktail Atelier
If you are looking for inspiration for unique and new ideas or a place where you can relieve negative emotions, the name Bo/en Cocktail Atelier will be the first suggestion for you.
The design resembles a biological research room, but still highlights a unique, elegant, and mysterious mindset, making the bar much more cozy and friendly.
Another plus point for you to choose this shop for days when you just want to be alone is that the drinks here are quite gentle with a pleasant aroma. Even if you’re too happy or too sad, if you drink a few drinks, you can rest assured that you can still be alert to get home.
Opening hours: 18:00 – 21:00
Address: 2nd Floor, 14B Lo Su, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi
5. The Alchemist
Located on the 2nd floor of a house on ancient Nguyen Quang Bich Street, The Alchemist is designed with a humble and charming style. The mysterious and somewhat abstract paintings on the statues contrast completely with the colorful and vibrant cocktails.
If you are a wine connoisseur who loves cocktail culture and wants to find someone to chat with when no one else is around, The Alchemist’s bar will always welcome you.
The bartenders here work hard to create drinks for special occasions. For example, The Florist for International Women’s Day or Ramos gin fizz is like a Souffle cake in the cocktail world. Each drink mixed here has its own story, don’t be shy to share your mood and ask the bartenders to suggest a drink that suits your mood.
Hot Toddy with cinnamon, anise, a little red wine, and orange peel, or a charming glass of Boulevardier will soothe your mood a lot.
Opening hours: 19:00 – 21:00
Address: 2nd Floor, 19 Nguyen Quang Bich, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi
