Tạ Hiện Beer Street
Phố Tạ Hiện
The liveliest nightlife street in the Old Quarter, where you sit on plastic stools by the road, drink fresh beer and eat grilled skewers while watching people pass by.
Tạ Hiện Street is in the middle of the 36 Streets of the Old Quarter. The intersection where it meets Lương Ngọc Quyến Street is Hanoi's best-known "Beer Corner". After dark, low plastic stools fill the sidewalks, and tourists and local young people crowd together to drink cheap fresh draft beer (bia hơi) and other beers, with grilled skewers, fried spring rolls and dried squid. Music from the bars fills the street, and on weekend nights it is almost impossible to move. It is best to go after 7 p.m. Ask about the prices before ordering, and keep an eye on your phone and wallet. Late at night, vendors sometimes close early due to local regulations.
