Bia Hơi 134
Description
Bia Hơi 134 sits right on a busy intersection and pulls a crowd of locals who come for cheap draft beer and a whole pig roasting on a spit out front. This is roadside Hanoi drinking and eating at its most straightforward: plastic stools, fast service, and a menu that’s all in Vietnamese. It suits people who want an unfiltered local scene rather than an English-friendly setup with photos on the menu.
The crispy pork belly is the dish to order, alongside the fresh roasted pig carved right in front of you. The grilled flying fish with turmeric is another standout if it’s on that day. Draft Hanoi beer runs around 30k VND for a 1L bottle, and mini kegs of 2L are also sold for the table. There’s no English menu, so pointing at what other tables are eating or pulling up a translation app is the way to go. Afternoons and evenings both get busy, and the open-air setup makes it a good spot to catch the breeze once the sun drops.
This isn’t the place for a quiet date or a long conversation with the staff, English is limited to basic order-taking. But for the price and the pork alone, it beats most beer gardens aimed at tourists. Go early evening before the crowd rolls in if you want a table without waiting.
