Fresh draft beer (bia hơi) costs 5,000–10,000 VND a glass at corner stalls. Locals gather on plastic stools from 5 PM.
Bia Hơi Hà Nội is the classic Hanoi brew — light, slightly sweet, and brewed fresh daily without preservatives. It's meant to be drunk same-day.
The corner of Tạ Hiện and Lương Ngọc Quyến (Bia Hơi Junction) in the Old Quarter is the most famous spot. Loud, sweaty, unforgettable.
