NoK Bar, No 1 621/Lane no.1, Lac Long Quan St, Tay Ho Dist, Hanoi

"Tucked away on a side street west of West Lake is a little bar where the American War is remembered with a giant arsenal of memorabilia. Old military uniforms, antiquated army equipment and defused bombs are scattered around NoK Bar along with hundreds of other vintage objects from an era that is understandably still a sensitive topic in modern Vietnam. Visitors to Hanoi who are interested in local history and culture but shell-shocked after spending too much time in the Old Quarter’s tourist traps will find NoK to be a handy retreat," writes Michael Libucha for the Vietnam News.
