  1. A

    M42

    Popular, stylish cafe on happening P Minh Khai with a great street terrace for people-watching and soaking up the downtown Haiphong vibe. Savour one of the fresh juices, a shake, or delve straight into the long cocktail list. There’s live music some evenings, wi-fi and good Vietnamese food available too.

    Phone Box

    This tiny little bar is run by a musician and is a great place for a relaxed drink. There’s live music (usually an acoustic guitarist or jazz artist) on Mondays and Fridays, or expect good tunes at other times from the owner’s extensive vinyl collection.

    Cao Bang also has some good cafes. Coffee Pho is a stylish little place with pavement tables that serves good Vietnamese coffee, cappuccino, juices and beer plus a snack or two.

    In need of a caffeine fix before you deal with the border? Rev up here at this friendly coffee bar which has a street terrace with a view of Mong Cai’s traffic action.

  5. Blue Note

    Although not quite as popular as it once was, this singalong-style bar has a karaoke list including alt-rock anthems, alongside plenty of the usual cheesy hits.

  6. Flightless Bird Café

    Small pub with a dart board, chilled beer, Californian wine and posters of the Kiwi motherland plastered over the walls. There’s also a small book exchange.

    Maxims

    A sort of vague relation to the famous Maxims in Saigon, it has live music from classical to jazz most nights and serves food.
