Nê Cocktail bar - Cocktail bar in Hanoi

It’s a decent bar with some interesting-sounding drinks on the menu, but at least on the night we were there it fell a little short from being a top-level cocktail bar experience. The flavors were good for most of the drinks but sometimes a bit muddled or seemed over-diluted. The Martini-Ne was probably my favorite, even though it seemed a little too sweet for something presented as a play on a martini. The pho cocktail was very fun and novel for a pretty accurate interpretation on the spice flavors and the presentation, but still was a little on the sweet end for me and not necessarily something I would order more than once. Service was pleasant, and the atmosphere was ok.

this place is so cute and hidden away, we stayed for hours ordering our favorite cocktails and adventuring out into some of their unique signature drinks. I tried the most interesting sounding one with chicken salt and pickles and was surprise to find that i LOVED it. clean, comfortable toilet facilities and staff that wanted to talk to you about the drinks. Phi was very personable and helped make the evening a great success. 5 stars all around, highly recommend.

Very disappointing experience. I visited expecting a chill cocktail bar, but it was completely empty and still overpriced. I was seated on the first floor, the menu was brought from the ground floor, and the payment was also taken on the ground floor, so my review reflects that full experience. I ordered just a beer and small fries, yet ended up paying around 294,000 VND, which felt unreasonable for what was served. There was no transparency in pricing, and nothing about the experience justified the cost. It felt like being overcharged for no clear reason. The toilets were also extremely small and uncomfortable to use. For clarity, the receipt shows a different merchant name (HNO TRIEU DUC CONG), which suggests the same payment system may be used across the premises. If multiple businesses operate in the same place, that should be made much clearer to customers to avoid confusion. Would not recommend, especially for travelers. There are much better and more honest places nearby.

A rustic bar in Hanoi’s Old Quarter close to train street. The star here is the Pho cocktail—savory, spiced, and tasting just like the famous noodle soup. It’s the drink you come for. The space is cosy and dim, good for a quiet night, though we visited rather early in the evening. Staff are friendly, but service could be more attentive at times. Worth visiting mainly for the unique Vietnam cuisine inspired cocktails
