Bia hơi
Fresh-brewed Vietnamese draught beer, sold in plastic cups for under 50 cents on roadside corners.
- Where to find it
- The tourist corner in the Old Quarter is the famous one and the worst one. Neighbourhood bia hơi corners in the western and southern districts are cheaper and better.
- When it is sold
- From about 4pm until the keg runs out. It does not keep, so late arrivals get flat beer.
- What it costs
- 8,000–15,000 VND a glass
How to order it
Order food with it — nem chua rán, lạc rang, nộm. Bia hơi corners live off the snacks.
We list neighbourhoods rather than street numbers: Hanoi stalls move, and a wrong address is worse than none. The guides below name specific places we stand behind.
