Tipsy Loong sits on Nguyễn Quang Bích, a street that cuts through the dense grid of Hanoi's Old Quarter, and has accumulated 410 Google reviews without a single star dropped — a rating that holds up against bars three times its profile. The Hoan Kiem cocktail scene runs the gamut from rooftop tourist traps to serious bartender-driven spots, and Tipsy Loong has found its footing firmly in the latter camp. The crowd skews local and returning rather than first-night-in-Hanoi, which tends to show in the pace: no rush, no upsell energy. Drinks are the clear focus here rather than food or spectacle, and regulars appear to come back for exactly that consistency. The Phố cổ setting means there's no shortage of atmosphere outside the door — Old Quarter streets at night carry their own current — but inside, Tipsy Loong keeps things controlled enough that conversation actually works. For visitors, the address is close enough to Hoàn Kiếm Lake and the Night Market corridor to fold into an evening without backtracking, but far enough from the loudest blocks to feel like a deliberate choice rather than a stop of convenience. The near-flawless rating across a substantial review count suggests a kitchen — or in this case, a bar — that hasn't coasted.
We found this place through an Instagram recommendation and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is mystical and charming — you feel it the moment you walk in. We tried 3 cocktails and mine was original + super tasty. We ended the night relaxing on a lovely bed setup. Perfect spot for a chill evening.
Tipsy Loong - surprised us in a great way. This bar offers bold Asian inspired flavors found nowhere else. Kopitiam, The Opium, Kung-fu pandan, whisper of the orient are all top-notch. Son explains as he whisk magic in creating cocktails. Highly recommend when in Hanoi. We will definitely be back. Don’t miss this place.
It is literally my favorite bar in Hanoi. Bar tenders are super nice. Super cute and sexy vibes in there and good music. Also the cocktails themselves are buss town city!! So good. DEFINITELY come here when u visit
While exploring Hanoi, I was pleasantly surprised to discover one of the rare bars in the city that has a beautifully maintained Yamaha piano. As a Yamaha Ambassador myself, I naturally give this place a very high score. The main dining and bar area is located upstairs, but my girlfriend and I decided to stay downstairs so we could enjoy the piano. For a traveling musician like me, that little detail made the experience even more special. The service here was excellent, and the overall vibe of the place was fantastic. The atmosphere felt relaxed yet stylish, and the venue itself is very well maintained and beautifully designed. The drinks were delicious and reasonably priced, making it a comfortable place to unwind after a long day of exploring the city. They also served us some snacks, which turned out to be surprisingly tasty. For me, as a traveling musician, there are moments when I simply need a small dose of piano and a good drink. This place delivered exactly that. It was the perfect combination of music, atmosphere, and a relaxing night out in Hanoi. 🎹🍸
Had a chill time in the bar! The vibe of the bar was really good! I like the bartenders are full of passion, friendly and talkative. They really care about your preferences and made the best one for you! I’m impressed by the unique and stunning cocktails they made for me!
