LAB. Cocktail BarLê Chân, Hai Phong

LAB. Cocktail Bar at 112 Quan Nam Street in Le Chan district holds 4.9 on Google — the highest among Hai Phong's drink-led bars.

Where is LAB?

Quan Nam sits in Le Chan, near the universities and the dense residential areas of the city's southwest. This is not a tourist district, so the crowd is mostly local — often a sign behind a high rating.

The name

The naming points at a laboratory, which is where much of modern bartending has gone: treating a drink as a matter of formula, ratio and ingredient. People who choose this kind of bar care about the glass more than the dance floor.

When to go

Evenings, filling from around nine. The room is not large, so weekends run out of space — booking is the safe route.
