The place has a pretty nice atmosphere. There are plenty of seats, and the open space with lots of greenery makes it feel spacious and relaxing rather than cramped. The beer selection is quite diverse, and the staff are enthusiastic and friendly.

My favorite spot : a bottle of ginger beer and a plate of cheese, a plate of beef jerky, and the music playing is great ( I luv this place so muchhh ) 🤩🌟 The pizza here is also delicious
I really love this bar in Tao Dien. They make the most original and delicious Old Fashioned cocktails and amazing spiced fries. For food lovers, they have delicious pizza. But I mostly go for the wide variety of craft beer; it's always fresh and they have more varieties than other bars 🔥
Very nice decoration, have good seating area and ambience. Not good for single person visiting alone. Good for groups Great selection of beers and cocktails and whiskey. Will come again to try more range of beers.
Just east of District 1, I discovered Phan Viet Chanh Street, full of small pubs and restaurants. Khoai looked crowded and interesting — and I was not disappointed. Very cool interior design (can I call it a bit Berlin-style?) and a huge beer menu. I tried Bia Hoi for the first time in Vietnam and loved it. I’ll definitely be back for more.
