Polite & Co
Bao Khanh Street is located in the heart of the capital with Hanoi's typical street eateries instantly transforms into a romantic Europe when you stop by Polite & Co. As one of the pioneers of the "pub" model in Hanoi, Polite & Co is considered an antique pub. Simulate where the gentlemen of the Prohibition era of the 1920s frequented.
Indeed, as soon as you enter the door, you will be immediately impressed by the long bar with more than 500 types of alcohol to satisfy the most demanding guests. The wooden ceiling is adorned with the vintage hats that chic gentlemen often wear, come with LED bulbs, and are artistically cross-hung. The immortal paintings on the brick wall add to the delicate "classy" and... polite as the name of the restaurant itself. And equally impressive are the politely dressed bartenders in white shirts and black vests, who will directly take you on a machine to go back in time with nostalgic drinks here.
Tip: Remember to reserve a table in advance if you want to sit at the bar or go with a crowd – this bar is always crowded at any time.

Angelina – Metropole Hanoi
As a restaurant and bar in Hanoi's most luxurious five-star hotel, Angelina – Metropole Hanoi is the "golden" place for important hospitality. The royal European style is both modern and ancient and the attention to quality and presentation of each item on the menu makes the bar especially loved by the upper class in Hanoi.
Here, whiskey and wine are the mainstay, because customers here are mainly inclined to "classic" drinks rather than requiring extreme creativity. The huge wine cellar and the five-star professional service style are the reasons why I always think of this place first for big occasions."
If you're on a tight budget but want to experience the space and excellent service here, come to Happy Hour 4-6pm on weekdays. Some beers, wines, and cocktails are only from 70,000 VND during this time.
Tip: Dress a little politely – you'll feel out of place when you enter this lavish space!

The Alchemist – Cocktail Bar
Responding to the increasingly sophisticated tastes and knowledge of the people of Hanoi, The Alchemist – Cocktail Bar recruits a team of staff who are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the profession. Although the sign on the outside is extremely modest, even if you have to "hard" walk a few steps through the Mojito pub below, wine lovers still "search" this place to satisfy their craving for a delicious cocktail, or let the Jazz music settle down to dispel fatigue in the heart of Hanoi.
The most prominent feature in the architecture of The Alchemist – Cocktail Bar is the mysterious drawings and a little... confusing on the wall. However, the colorful and vibrant cocktails here are the complete opposite of that "cool" appearance.
Tip: The Alchemist – Cocktail Bar is very "hardworking" to create drinks on special occasions such as Halloween Mid-Autumn Festival, Christmas, Lunar New Year. If you are an experiencer, don't miss these occasions.
