A new wave of cocktail bars, craft beer tap rooms and clubs are shaking up Hanoi's hard-earned reputation for dullness by night. The capital's drink and dance offerings have been revived with a loosening of official restrictions and a spate of new openings. The best nightlife is found around the Old Quarter and in the West Lake expat enclave around 15 minutes by cab from downtown. If you're not up for exploring, you could hang out around the beer drinkers and clubbers along Ta Hien and Luong Ngoc Quyen streets in the Old Quarter.
