Hoi An T/T Cocktail Bar, Coffee & Antiques
Description
Walk past the antiques and paintings inside and keep going – the courtyard out back is the whole point. It’s quiet in a way that feels almost impossible given how close you are to the main tourist drag, and that contrast is exactly why people end up staying for three drinks when they planned on one.
The owner builds cocktails around you. Tell him a spirit and a general direction (fruity, bitter, something weird) and he’ll handle the rest. The egg espresso martini and custom mezcal cocktails get specific praise, but honestly the ones made from ingredients you’d normally skip are the ones worth ordering.
Coffee holds its own too – the egg coffee and orange iced coffee are proper specialties, not afterthoughts. It also sells antiques, which (depending on your tolerance for accumulating stuff while traveling) is either a bonus or a trap.
Highlights
- The back courtyard is calm, rare for the middle of the old town
- Coffee is taken as seriously as the cocktails (egg coffee and orange iced coffee are the ones to order)
- Owners are warm, speak solid English, and make solo visitors and couples feel equally at home
- Sweetness levels in some drinks (the caipirinha got a mention) run slightly high for drier palates
