Coi Xay Gio (Windmill)

Well again they don’t seem to brew on site and it is just a courtyard terrace with quite bad service and no menus or draft beer that I could see. I somehow wound up with a beer... But never saw a menu...? Weird place, I like the terrace but at 330pm it seemed dead and I honestly thought it was out of business based on the faded street signage. Came out to be 39,000 dong for a small beer making it one of the priciest of the pubs I visited.

Not far from the centre but definitely off the beaten track. Very different setup to most Vietnamese brewpubs, with a lovely courtyard and trees and stuff. Laid back. Food was good, the beer was probably somewhere in the middle of the Vietnamese brewpub scale I’d say. Quite liked this place, though it wouldn’t be my first stop for beer alone.

Excellent leafy courtyard. Interesting menu with some different options. The good beers are second best to Hoa Vien.

Pleasant beer garden with a couple of beers available. There’s an attached restaurant which gets busy and you can look into the rows of fish tanks which hold your dinner at request. It’s popular with locals and expats and on a nice day this is a relaxed place to enjoy a few beers.

Lovely protected outside patio on a backyward under palm trees. Plenty of interesing food on the menu, and reasonably prized too. Two Czech-inspired beers available where the pale one is the more recommended. Perhaps the most relaxing of Hanoi’s many brewpubs.
