AKT street cocktail
Description
Thien runs this street cocktail spot on the riverfront and he takes his drinks seriously. He’s invented his own recipes, he’s apparently the only person in Vietnam making a Baby Guinness, and he’ll talk your ear off about Vietnamese history while he mixes (this is a feature, not a bug).
The location does the heavy lifting too – grab your drink and sit directly facing the river with the lantern lights of the old town reflected on the water. It’s a proper Hoi An evening for not much money.
One negative review raises concerns about fake alcohol and price manipulation, which is worth keeping in mind. Order clearly, confirm the price before you commit, and use your judgment when the drink arrives.
