Lighthouse Sky Bar

Perched atop the boutique hotel La Siesta Premium Hang Be, Lighthouse Sky Bar is one of Hanoi’s most distinctive rooftop venues. Located on the 10th and 11th floors of the building at 27 Hang Bè Street in Hoàn Kiếm District, it offers big-city views, sophisticated drinks and an atmosphere that hovers between lounge luxury and elevated social club. The concept is playful yet polished: the bar is styled like a boat moored above the streets of Hang Bè. The “bow” faces the street, the “stern” faces the Red River, and the multi-terraced space is anchored by a bold 6-metre red and white lighthouse tower—by night the flashing light gives the rooftop a landmark quality in the skyline. Inside and out, the design blends glass, metal, wood and monochrome tones, softened by greenery and comfortable terrace sofas. Chill-out music sits in the background, inviting you to linger rather than rush. Reviewers highlight the easy-going yet refined vibe: upscale without being pretentious. The drink list is curated for the rooftop crowd. There’s a strong focus on signature cocktails (for example “La Vie En Rose”, “The Scent of Green Papaya”) priced around 275,000-295,000 VND for these bespoke creations. Happy hour is especially well-regarded: early evening (17:00-18:30) sees select drinks at discount rates, which adds real value. Snack-wise the bar offers a smart menu of small plates: garlic bread, nachos, fresh summer rolls, even a platter of cold cuts & cheese—all to complement the drinks. Service is frequently praised. Guests note attentive staff, helpful recommendations and good treatment even when just dropping in for a drink. The high vantage point gives guests wide views of the Old Quarter rooftops, the shoreline of Hoàn Kiếm Lake and the distant river—ideal for sundowners and photo-worthy moments. One slight caveat: as with many rooftop venues, the premium location brings higher prices than standard bars in Hanoi. The food portions are also described as “snack-sized” rather than full meals. But for what it is—a rooftop escape with craft cocktails and skyline views—many say the experience more than justifies the cost. In short: if you’re after a sunset drink, cityscape views, stylish surroundings and a bit of rooftop theatre in Hanoi, Lighthouse Sky Bar delivers a memorable evening-out backdrop.
