I’m On The Gogh | Solo Travel & Living Abroad

One of the things that has stayed with me most in my time in Vietnam is the creativity.

This is a place where people build. They manufacture. They make things by hand. They can take an idea and turn it into something custom in a matter of days, sometimes hours.

And the cocktail scene feels like an extension of that same creativity.

@workshop14.hanoi was one of those places where it showed up in almost every detail.

The aesthetics of the space. The way people were seated to actually have conversations. The shape of the glasses. The diversity and politeness of the staff. And, of course, the drinks themselves.

Each cocktail felt like it had a story behind it. And depending on how you looked at it, you could probably walk away with a completely different interpretation.

To me, that’s art.

And that’s what Workshop 14 felt like.

It’s on Asia’s 50 Best Bars list for a reason, but what stayed with me most wasn’t the ranking. It was the energy, the intention, and the feeling of the place.

And according to my friend Sunny, the cocktails were simply damn good. As someone who doesn’t drink, I can say the mocktails held their own too.

If you’re in Hanoi, give Workshop 14 a visit for the experience alone.

What’s a place you’ve visited where the creativity of the space stayed with you afterward?
