What makes R7 stand out

R7 is in a side lane off Đào Tấn and spread across two levels: an open rooftop terrace with views over Hanoi on top, and a more intimate seventh floor with a lounge below. The evening starts with cocktails and happy hour.

R7 is known for its drag shows, plus karaoke nights and changing events. On Fridays and Saturdays it goes on into the early hours.

Atmosphere and crowd

The crowd is mixed, with locals and international guests partying together. The friendly staff, who quickly make new guests feel included, the view and the drag shows get particular praise.
