Great place with a really nice view. The local food is delicious and the staff are very friendly. This isn’t my first time here and I’ll definitely come back again. Prices are also very good. Highly recommend!

The Balcony Beer - Bar in Hanoi

스토리
이 장소에 대해
Perched above the dense street life of Phố Đinh Liệt in Hoan Kiem's Old Quarter, The Balcony Beer earns its name with an elevated outdoor setting that puts Hanoi's rooftop panorama front and center. With 2,636 Google reviews averaging 4.9 stars, it holds one of the highest sustained ratings of any bar in the city — a number that reflects consistent execution rather than novelty.
The draw is straightforward: cold beer, open air, and a position inside the Old Quarter's tightest grid of heritage streets. Hoan Kiem has no shortage of rooftop options, but most cluster around the lake or the newer hotel strips on the western edge. This one sits deeper in the phố cổ, which means the street noise below is authentically local — motorbikes, street vendors, the particular density of a Saturday night on Đinh Liệt — rather than the curated tourist corridor feel that can flatten other elevated spots.
The crowd skews toward travelers who've done their homework alongside Hanoians who treat it as a reliable after-work fixture. The format is uncomplicated: drinks-forward, no elaborate food program pulling focus, the kind of place where the conversation carries the evening. That simplicity is likely what keeps the rating so stable — there's less to get wrong, and the fundamentals are clearly being handled well.
For anyone spending time in Hoan Kiem and looking for a drink with actual elevation and a view worth the climb, the consistency here across thousands of visits is the most honest recommendation available.

Perfect location for a couple of cool beverages after a hard day of sightseeing and negotiating with local vendors. The funniest part was watching the crowd on the street level scatter when the police drive by...grabbing and hiding chairs from out front of their business...but as soon as the police are gone, back come the chairs. Great spot for people watching and drinking beer!
We came here at the end of the day for a beer. It’s a small piece of paradise just one floor above the craziness. After reading the menu but only had room to try the eggplant (AMAZING) we had to come back and did the same night!!! The staff we great to accommodate our minor changes. We had only wanted a plate of steamed vegetables-so the vegetable pho became a beautiful plate of bok choy! The roasted duck with pepper corns (changes French fries to rice to enjoy the sauce -yum) and the pork cheeks with radish (not pig stomach) were spectacular. The only minor complaint-no negronis on the menu. And did I say how amazing the staff are!!! Annie and the team were great
The food*: Absolutely worth coming back for. The bun cha was the standout — perfectly seasoned, fresh, and cooked just right. Portions were generous without feeling heavy, and even the sides had more flavor than most mains I’ve had elsewhere. If you go, don’t skip the roast duck . It’s the kind of meal where you actually pause between bites because it’s that good. *The staff*: This is what made the night. Our server was attentive without hovering, knew the menu inside out, and gave honest recommendations when we couldn’t decide. They checked in at the right moments, refilled water before we noticed it was low, and handled a small mix-up with our order smoothly — no attitude, just fixed it fast. You could tell they actually enjoy working there. *Vibe*: Casual, clean, and not too loud. Great for both a date night and catching up with friends. *Verdict*: Best combo of food and service I’ve had in a while. Prices match the quality. 10/10, would bring people here to impress them.
Nice view but the food quality is just acceptable. You may try if you value the beautiful scenery for chitchatting with friends🫠but probably I won’t go again… quite expensive compared to other Hanoi bar/restaurant
