Stumbled upon this place randomly but such a good find!! The ambience, atmosphere and company was excellent. I was able to have such a warm conversation with the owner and Bartenders, reminiscing about our childhoods. As someone who loves to do things a little differently, this place ticks all the boxes - off the beaten path, unique and personal. Will definitely come back here in the future. They catered for me as someone who doesn't drink, which is something that other cocktail bars haven't been able to do for me here in Hanoi.
This is a unique little cocktail bar. We had a great time and it was such a special experience to have no menu but cocktails specially made on your taste and preference. The owner made us very welcome and he is extremen skilled in his knowledge of cocktails and music. Difficult to find but we got some help from a local. Thanks again, Darren and Nathalie
By far the best cocktail bar in Hanoi and probably in Vietnam. The mini-thrill of getting there and with no menus, we were not really sure how the drinks would turn out to be but it all cocktails were great. The host and bartenders have a conversation with every patron and suggest drinks as per your preferences or just as a surprise. I would recommend the Vietnamese Highball - herbal tea(from where its sweetness comes) and whiskey and the Salted Dog - the chilli-sugar-salt rim and tobasco are just perfect in this. All this with jazz and blues music playing in the background with a massive record collection. You will have to reach out to them via instagram @longerthanasummer for reservations and instructions to reach the bar. All of their staff is very friendly and welcoming. We had a fun and warm experience with AB, Long and Cúc.
Longer Than a Summer is one of my favourite finds in Hanoi, a must for any lovers of music and concept bars. Entrance to the bar is only for those who don’t mind a challenge and being brave enough to ask around to find this unmarked door to lead you to this wonderful dark and atmospheric bar. It’s a part of the experience and fun to figure how where this hidden gem is. You will be questioned on arrival but stand strong! Once inside, the venue only sits 25 people maximum. It’s ideal for 2-3 people to visit, anymore may be tricky to accommodate. As some other reviewers have said, they have a dress code of no sport tank tops, no shorts, flip flops or casual sandals but otherwise they welcome you as you are. The staff are incredibly friendly, passionate about their bar and offer the best personalised service for drinks, explaining their concept, music taste and drinks. One of the bartenders, Long, chatted with us throughout and really made our night. During our time, we even had a live performance on the piano. This is a bar I’ll long to return to one day when I come back to Hanoi.
