Binh Minh Jazz Club

Hanoi live jazz room run by a saxophonist

Hours: Live music nightly about 9pm-11:15pm
Address: 1 Trang Tien Street, upstairs

This is the best-known jazz room in Hanoi, run by Quyen Van Minh, one of Vietnam's leading saxophonists. Tables ring a small stage, close enough to hear the players breathe. Sets start around 9pm and run past 11. Some nights mix standards with Vietnamese melodies, so no two evenings match. Order a drink and stay for one set, or the whole night.
