For drinks in central Hai Phong, choose Up & Above for a hotel rooftop, East West Brewing for Vietnamese craft beer, SÓNG for a café and cocktail setting, or Eyeconic for a DJ-led club night. The right choice depends on whether you want a view, food with a drink, a particular cocktail or dancing.
These venues are in the urban Hai Phong area. Cat Ba and Do Son need separate travel plans. Check the evening’s program and final service time before leaving your hotel, particularly for a rooftop table or a late arrival.
Up & Above Rooftop Bar: views from Pullman
Up & Above is on Level 32 of Pullman Hai Phong Grand Hotel, with indoor seating and an outdoor terrace. It serves cocktails and Asian-inspired bar food, and its entertainment includes live DJ music.
Choose it for an elevated city view and a hotel-bar setting. Arrive before sunset if the view is central to your plans, and ask whether your table is indoors or outside. Weather and private events can affect terrace access; a rooftop setting is not a promise of a quiet evening.
- Address: Level 32, Pullman Hai Phong Grand Hotel, 12 Tran Phu.
- Hours: 17:00–midnight daily.
- Contact: +84 225 326 6555.
East West Brewing: craft beer at Wink
East West’s Hai Phong taproom is on the ground floor of Wink Hai Phong Centre at 135 Dien Bien Phu. The beer-garden setting and food service make it an option for a meal and Vietnamese craft beer in one stop.
Ask what is currently on tap and describe the style you enjoy rather than choosing only by strength. An early-evening visit leaves time for food and drinks; confirm the last kitchen order and closing time if you plan to stay late.
- Address: Ground floor, Wink Hai Phong Centre, 135 Dien Bien Phu.
- Contact: +84 837 169 966.
- Choose it for: craft beer and food, including a group meal before a later event.
SÓNG Coffee & Mixology: coffee and cocktails in a lane
SÓNG combines specialty coffee with cocktails at an address inside Alley 35 Tran Khanh Du. It is a useful choice when the drink itself matters and you want a café-bar rather than an event-led nightclub.
Save the full lane address and confirm the entrance before going. Ask when cocktail service starts and whether the menu has an alcohol-free option that suits you; do not assume every drink is available throughout the café’s operating day.
- Address: 4/3B, Alley 35 Tran Khanh Du.
- Contact: +84 337 787 088.
- Choose it for: coffee or a cocktail stop, with the service time checked for your chosen drink.
Eyeconic Cocktail Club: DJs and dancing
Eyeconic combines cocktails with DJ and dance events at 21A Tran Hung Dao. Choose it when music and a club atmosphere are the main part of the evening, and check the lineup for your date.
Before reserving, confirm the opening time, final entry, dress requirements and whether the event uses an admission charge or table minimum. Ask for the total cost of any bottle package, including mixers and service charges, rather than relying on a headline price.
- Address: 21A Tran Hung Dao.
- Contact: +84 567 420 420.
- Choose it for: a planned cocktail-and-club night.
Booking, payment and getting back
Reserve ahead when your group needs to sit together or you want a particular terrace table. Explain whether you want dinner, drinks or an event, and check any deposit and cancellation conditions before paying. Ask about ingredient substitutions if you have an allergy or dietary requirement.
Carry a payment method the venue accepts; a foreign card or local QR payment may not work everywhere. Keep the menu or agreed package details available when checking the bill.
Arrange a taxi, ride-hailing car or hotel pickup before drinking, and save your accommodation’s address. Do not drive a motorbike after drinking. For an evening that also includes local food, a walk or a film, see the Hai Phong nightlife guide.
