Full Review
Pasteur Street Brewing at 1 Au Trieu sits in a quiet section of the Old Quarter behind St Joseph's Cathedral. The two-floor format runs the taproom on the ground floor and a balcony seating area on the second floor; the balcony catches the surrounding street activity and works as the preferred summer evening spot.
The craft beer selection is the brewery's full Saigon-brewed lineup: Jasmine IPA, Cyclo Imperial Chocolate Stout, Spice Island Saison, and seasonal one-offs. The flight format covers the range; the bartenders explain style profiles for visitors interested in the brewery's approach.
The food menu handles Western pub fare alongside Vietnamese standards. Burgers, pizzas, banh mi, fries, and shared plates round out the offering. The kitchen runs competently; the food works as pub accompaniment.
The drink prices sit at the upper Old Quarter tier. Beer at 80,000-150,000 VND per pint; food at 150,000-300,000 VND. The pricing matches the craft beer focus.
The crowd is mostly craft beer enthusiasts, longer-stay expats, and tourists wanting Vietnamese craft beer specifically. The format runs as the Old Quarter destination for serious beer drinkers.
Compared with the standard Old Quarter pubs (Polite Pub, Mao's Red Lounge), Pasteur Street is the craft beer specialist. For visitors wanting Vietnam's most respected craft brewery's full lineup in Hanoi, this is the consensus choice.
