Bia Hoi Corner, located in Hanoi's Old Quarter at the crossroads of Ta Hien and Luong Ngoc Quyen Streets, is a popular gathering spot where locals, expats, and tourists meet every night for a good time. As evening falls, the streets come alive with hundreds of people sitting on colourful plastic stools with a pint of bia hoi (beer) in their hand.

Bars & Nightlife
Hanoi has only recently come to grips with the concept of nightlife past 10 pm, and the result is pockets of activity dotted around the city. Most tourists head for the bustling Bao Khanh Street in the northwest of Hoan Kiem, where late-night hangouts and bars huddle together, which attracts the locals just as much as out-of-towners. There aren’t a huge amount of actual nightclubs in the city, but the handful you do come across are riotous affairs that stay open until the small hours and pump up the volume.
