The cocktails are delicious and we loved the B52s 😃 We only drank here. It's a lovely place to stop for cocktails and the staff are always friendly, welcoming and attentive.

Popped in here to grab a cocktail and watch the train from the upstairs patio. Cute vibes and great cocktails! We got the don’t drink me (sweet & tastes like punch) and a Barbie dreams (tastes like a tart lemonade) 🩷

Low-key cocktail bar in the basement of a hotel. Make good cocktails, they have a small pool table (although it's not in a very good condition) in the basement floor. Service is great. It's pretty expensive though.

As alluring as it is scrumptious! Warmly welcomed into the arms of a cherry based Singapore Sling and the dangerously delicious Espresso Martini.. Soothing purple lit ceiling and gorgeous brick interior has us comfortable and ready to enjoy our night. Wednesday nights are buy one get one free for women and 20% discount available for posted reviews. The more the merrier. I think a tip will be in order very soon^^

Stumbled upon this gem while exploring old quarter Hanoi near our hotel. Staff was awesome, music and vibes are legit. Cocktails were pretty damn good. Highly recommend. Would not think they’ve only been open for ~2 weeks.
