Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2024 honors the best drinking establishments based on stringent criteria set by 50 Best (an organization specializing in food and beverage under the leading global media company William Reed, headquartered in the UK), with around 260 industry experts participating in the voting process.
In the 51-100 list recently announced on July 9, The Hudson Room—a New York 1920s-inspired bar located on the rooftop of the Capella Hanoi Hotel—ranked 81st out of 100, following JungleBird from Kuala Lumpur and preceding Southbank Cafe + Lounge from Muntinlupa (Philippines).
The individuals behind this accolade are Patrick Nguyen (head bartender) and Sean Halse (bar manager).
“This award is a testament to the dedication of our staff. We aim for exceptional experiences and drink flavors that transcend the usual boundaries of bartending,” Patrick shared.

Besides serving alcoholic beverages, The Hudson Room is one of Hanoi’s rooftop restaurants and event venues.
Inspired by New York’s Grand Central Terminal, the establishment recreates the rich culinary scene of the 1920s, featuring premium French oysters, golden caviar paired with a variety of champagnes and wines.
Drinking & Healing (Ho Tung Mau) from Ho Chi Minh City is the next representative to make the list.
According to 50 Best, this bar space evokes a sense of old New York for visitors.
Additionally, Drinking & Healing uses some local ingredients to create unique stories, such as a strawberry-infused bourbon combined with sweet vermouth that reminisces about Da Lat. A cocktail here costs an average of about 9 USD, roughly 228,000 VND.
