The of the best bar we been to during our vacation. We been here for 3 nights in the roll and end up meeting the owner and the whole crew. They are welcoming and friendly and make sure we had a good time here in Hanoi. We would recommend everyone to stop here and check this place out.

We came to this bar 3 times and we really enjoyed the drinks they made. Everyone in this bar was friendly and courteous as well as protective towards her customers. This bar has also great music. Spent our last nite in hanoi at this bar enjoying and partying

Best bar in the Old Quarter. Honestly, I've seen many reviews attacking the lady behind the bar. The truth is, she's very chill. I always come here every time I visit Hanoi. Most of these reviews are inaccurate. She has a strong personality and won't accept any of the backpackers' shenanigans, which they think are cute and everyone needs to endure. If you are around town, I highly recommend it. Good music and great service.

Easily the best bar on Beer Street - The music selection is killer. Always on point and when someone drops the ball with the vibe the owner will skip it and go to another song. The atmosphere is top-tier, high energy and the owner is an absolute force of nature and total smokeshow—13-hour workdays, 7 days a week zero patience for fake people, and 100% unapologetic about her hustle. You have to respect someone who runs her business with that level of raw energy and pure confidence. The hookah is always burning and the beers flowing. Giving it 1 star only because 5 stars feels like the kind of safe, conventional review a tourist leaves, and this place is definitely not for the average tourist. If you can handle high energy, great tunes, and an owner who doesn't do fake smiles, do not miss this place.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Is Local Bar good for a casual night out?
Local Bar suits both backpackers and Hanoians looking for an unpretentious spot — the focus is cold beer, conversation, and the street energy of Tạ Hiện rather than a themed concept.
Is Local Bar loud?
Tạ Hiện is Hanoi's liveliest Old Quarter lane, and Local Bar's open front lets the street noise in — expect a lively, social atmosphere past midnight.
Is Local Bar a good spot for solo dining?
Local Bar is a bar, not a dining destination — solo visitors stopping for a beer fit naturally into the relaxed, street-facing crowd on Tạ Hiện.
