이 장소에 대해
Sitting on Nguyễn Quang Bích in the dense grid of Hanoi's Old Quarter, The Slow Cocktail & Shisha Bar has quietly earned one of the highest ratings among bars in Hoàn Kiếm — 4.9 stars across more than 850 reviews, a number that suggests genuine repeat patronage rather than novelty visits. The concept is straightforward: shisha and cocktails, done well enough that guests linger. The name signals the intended pace — this is not a place to rush through.
The Old Quarter context matters. Most of the surrounding streets lean toward tourist-facing bia hơi stalls and pho shops that close by 9pm. A venue that anchors itself around hookah and late-evening drinks fills a specific gap in the neighborhood's rhythm, drawing a mix of expats, visiting travelers, and Hanoians looking for somewhere to settle in after dinner. The cocktail list complements the shisha rather than competing with it — drinks are built to accompany a long session rather than to be consumed quickly at a standing bar.
The location on Phố cổ Hà Nội places it within walking distance of Hoàn Kiếm Lake and the main tourist corridor, but the bar's reputation appears built on atmosphere rather than foot-traffic convenience. A rating that high, sustained across that many reviews, points to consistency — in service, in shisha quality, and in the environment itself. For visitors who have spent the day navigating the Old Quarter's daytime energy, The Slow offers a deliberate contrast: low light, unhurried service, and the particular kind of social ease that shisha bars tend to produce.

My friends and I found this spot by chance and would definitely come back again. The ambiance was lovely and intimate both for a date or to share with a group of friends. The two gentlemen working the bar were very attentive and helped us choose the Mango, Passion Fruit and Mint shisha, which I recommend everyone try. Theres a great attention to detail and ensuring customers are happy and well served here. After receiving some delicious complimentary shots we ended up buying 3 extra rounds because they were so nice. The music selection is also very nice, a mixture of western pop and RnB was playing while we were seated.
Loving the atmosphere here. We came as a group and Hiep (I hope i get the name right) was really helpful to give us suggestion. He even brought us all of the different flavours so we can choose which one we like. The vibe itself is super chill and looks exclusive. Beautifully decorated with Greek Italian inspired interior. Great choice of musics as well!
Drink: Old Fashion Shisha: Tropical with Mint Time of visit: sunday 22nd February 10:30 pm Costs: 750.000d Fine shisha with good and strong flavour, the Old Fashion was unfortunatly a bit watery. The bar itself was beautiful with really professional and friendly barkeeper. The music was too loud and the pop music was not fitting the ambient, probably it’s more relaxed if you visit the bar a bit earlier and weekdays. I visited spontaneously and got a table for one without Problems
We visited The Slow as a group of 5 and had our last drinks in Vietnam. We are all very happy with the service and the drinks served by Duc, he was very friendly and easy-going, even though we were there past the bar’s closing time. To Duc, if you’re reading this, we really appreciate the time we spent at your bar, we will definitely visit again the next time we visit Hanoi. Thank you!!
