Bia Hoi Junction on Ta Hien in Hanoi: fresh beer for under a dollar (prices, hours)

"Bia Hoi Junction" is the crossing of Ta Hien street and Luong Ngoc Quyen street in the Old Quarter: dozens of plastic stools, draught beer counters and a crowd of travellers and locals every evening. Bia hoi is a light fresh beer brewed the same day; according to sources a glass costs about 7,000 to 15,000 VND (under a dollar), a little more in tourist-oriented bars. A glass or two, an hour: you sit, order and watch the street go by. Prices and hours come from guides and travel sites, with no official source: confirm on the spot. See also: the pub crawl, alcohol rules and the weekend night market.

Highlights

A cobbled Old Quarter lane, lively from early evening, with lanterns and bars open to the street.

Bia hoi, the day's draught beer

Low in alcohol, served in big glasses; a classic with roasted peanuts.

The stools on the pavement

Sitting low, right on the street, is part of the experience.
