Quán Bia Hơi Bát Đàn

The experience

The bia hơi corner where Bát Đàn meets Hàng Bồ, spilling plastic stools onto the pavement from 10am to 11pm. Bia hơi is unpasteurised draught beer brewed and delivered the same morning with no preservatives, which is why it is drunk within the day and costs almost nothing. The kitchen turns out proper drinking food rather than snacks — grilled eel with chilli, fried beef noodles, greens. Locals outnumber visitors most evenings.

Same-day draught beer at thirteen thousand đồng a glass, on the local corner rather than the Tạ Hiện tourist scrum.
