The Haflington

The Haflington is Hanoi's pioneering cocktail bar and Vietnam's first venue to reach Asia's 50 Best Bars list, ranked 47th in 2024. Housed in two floors of a vintage shophouse in the Old Quarter, the bar evokes European museum aesthetics with dark timber furnishings, curated collections of fossils and antique books, and a faux dinosaur skeleton suspended above the main bar. The Jungle Book cocktail menu features lesser-known classics alongside signature creations, priced from 210,000 VND. The intimate, immersive space draws a devoted crowd; reservations are recommended, particularly on weekends.
