Hybra Ultra Lounge Cocktail Lounge in Hoàn Kiếm, Hanoi

HYBRA Ultra Lounge builds a tropical island inside Hanoi's Old Quarter: living plants across the walls, fishing nets, life rings and beach balls hung from the ceiling, national flags strung overhead. The venue is at 32 Ma May and holds 4.8 stars across more than a thousand Google reviews — a high score with a large count, which few Old Quarter venues manage.

Where is HYBRA Ultra Lounge? Address and opening hours

The venue is at 32 Ma May Street, Hoan Kiem Ward, Hanoi — before 1 July 2025 part of Hang Buom Ward, Hoan Kiem District. Ma May sits in the middle of the Old Quarter, a few minutes' walk from Hoan Kiem Lake. It opens 8:30 PM to 2 AM every day of the week, getting busier as the night goes on. Note: HYBRA On Top in O Cho Dua is a different venue.

A stage on top of the bar counter

This is the venue's most distinctive feature: the long bar counter through the middle of the room is the stage. The DJ sets up on the counter itself; MCs, singers and the band perform up there, right beside the guests seated around it. If you want to be closest to the performance, take a seat at the counter — no VIP area needed, just the right seat.

A two-level tropical island room

Beyond the plants, nets and life rings, the room has a disco ball and red velvet curtains; the upper level is a more private area with a railing over the floor. The venue's seasonal theme is "Time Inversion Island". The whole room follows one idea through rather than scattering a few beach props about.

Hip-hop, R&B, Pop, House and live music

DJs and MCs hold Hip-hop, R&B, Pop and House nightly. Special nights bring a live band, guest artists and weekly theme nights — schedules are on the venue's official page. Because there is a live band, the atmosphere differs from a DJ-only club: stretches for listening, stretches for dancing.

Table areas at HYBRA Ultra Lounge

Based on the actual room: seats around the counter stage — closest to the performance, standing tables and sofas on the ground floor, and a more private upper level for larger groups. Counter seats fill first on band and guest-artist nights.

Birthdays and company groups

The venue takes birthdays, friend groups and company groups, with confetti and glow sticks for the celebration. Give at least a day's notice so the team can arrange the area for your numbers — larger groups are usually seated on the upper level.

Getting there

Ma May is a narrow street in the core of the Old Quarter, a few minutes on foot from Hoan Kiem Lake and from Ta Hien. Parking is limited in the Old Quarter and at weekends the area around the lake becomes a pedestrian zone, so approach routes change by the hour — if you drive, park on the outer edge and walk in.

Photos of Hybra Ultra Lounge

The Hybra Ultra Lounge photo set on this page shows the tropical island the venue has built at 32 Ma May: fishing nets, life rings and beach balls hung from the ceiling, a disco ball throwing green beams over a floor of raised hands, looping red string lights above the long counter, real plants covering the walls and red velvet curtains. The stage is the difference: a DJ playing right on the counter in the middle of the crowd, a band with a singer and drummer performing on the counter, a costumed performer among a forest of glow sticks, a flower basket overhead and cold sparks. Moments include confetti bursting over a group table and guests partying around the ground-floor sofas.

Reviews of Hybra Ultra Lounge

Hybra Ultra Lounge holds 4.8 stars from more than 1,000 reviews on Google Maps — a high score paired with a large count, something few Old Quarter venues have. Searches for “Hybra Ma May” all lead to this venue at 32 Ma May. The venue is talked about for its stage on top of the bar counter — DJ, MC, singers and a live band performing right beside the guests — together with a two-level tropical island room and doors open all seven nights. Honest notes: the seats around the counter go first on live-band and guest nights, and Ma May is a narrow street with little parking that gets caught in the weekend pedestrian zone. Nightclub.com.vn also collects reviews from guests who booked through the platform and actually showed up — see the Reviews block below.
