Bich and Ngoc were amazing hosts and their service and attention to detail was the best I’ve ever had in many years of coming to lovely restaurants. This was my first trip to Vietnam and they made it memorable.. Thank you very much

The Story
About This Place
Perched above 41 Hang Bong Street in the dense historic core of Hoan Kiem, Solar Sky Bar draws a crowd that has pushed its Google rating to 4.9 across nearly 2,700 reviews — a figure that places it among the highest-rated bars in the district. The address puts it within walking distance of Hoan Kiem Lake, which means the elevated vantage point captures a skyline framed by French colonial rooftops and the glow of the Old Quarter at dusk. That setting does most of the work: the transition from the narrow, motorbike-choked streets below to an open rooftop with a horizon view is a sharp shift in register that most bars in the area cannot offer at this altitude or with this consistency of ratings. The bar skews toward cocktails and social drinking rather than a food-forward experience, drawing a mix of local professionals marking the end of the week and visitors who have done their research. Evenings are when the space earns its name — the sky shifts, the city lights come on, and the bar fills steadily without the chaotic queue culture that affects some of the more tourist-saturated rooftops elsewhere in the Old Quarter. The Hang Bong location also means it sits on one of Hoan Kiem's more walkable and less congested streets, which helps with arrival and departure. For visitors comparing rooftop options in the district, the rating volume alone signals something reliable rather than merely hyped.

Really good food and service, our waiter was Bich and he’s super nice. I loved the decoration. Greetings from Spain.
Great bar with good atmosphere, views of the city are great although we came on a day that had a thunderstorm. Prices are reasonable, not as cheap as others but it’s a rooftop bar on top of a very nice hotel. Vivian was a great hostess and the other staff at the bar as well, and nice to wear the hats whilst it was raining.
Great food and friendly service of the staff. Outdoor bar has to make reservations, outdoor space is limited and cram. Food is great and fair portions. Problem is only accept cash payment. Weird
