The Balcony Beer - Bar in Hanoi

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!

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

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

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.
