NYX Lounge & Bar in Hanoi, Vietnam

NYX Lounge & Bar is an upscale evening lounge at 27 Lý Thường Kiệt in Hanoi’s Hoàn Kiếm district, on the Hàng Bài side of the city center. Fresh 2026 research supports keeping the venue as an active nightlife record. Tripadvisor’s current claimed business profile still lists the exact address, telephone number, email, website and daily hours from 16:00 until 02:00, while Viet-Biz independently confirms the same location and contact details. NYX suits travelers who want cocktails, wine, spirits and DJ-led nightlife in a polished indoor-and-outdoor lounge rather than a casual Old Quarter beer stop. The main practical caveat is that some secondary directories still show implausible 24-hour opening, so late-night plans should rely on the claimed business profile and be reconfirmed before a special trip.

The location is convenient for central Hanoi. Lý Thường Kiệt runs through the French Quarter side of Hoàn Kiếm, close to the Opera House, Trần Hưng Đạo, Hai Bà Trưng and many central hotels. Travelers staying near Hoàn Kiếm Lake can usually reach NYX on foot or by a short taxi or ride-hailing trip, while visitors based in Tây Hồ or western districts should plan a longer road transfer. The venue is on a major city street rather than hidden deep in an alley, making the final approach simpler than many smaller Hanoi bars.

Current operating evidence is strongest on Tripadvisor because the profile is marked “Claimed,” meaning someone from the business manages the listing. It gives 27 Lý Thường Kiệt, phone +84 786 272 727, email info.nyxloungevn@gmail.com and the website nyxlounge.vn. The page lists 16:00–02:00 on every day of the week and describes NYX as a lounge with DJ music, cocktails, wine, spirits, afternoon tea and food. There are no published Tripadvisor reviews, so the listing is valuable for operator-supplied practical details but cannot provide an independent pattern of current customer experience.

Viet-Biz provides useful corroboration for the address, phone, email and website. Its current listing also categorizes NYX as a lounge and cocktail bar. However, Viet-Biz claims the venue is open 24 hours a day, which conflicts directly with the claimed Tripadvisor profile and with NYX’s historical operating pattern. That 24-hour schedule is unlikely enough that it should not be promoted without stronger evidence. Travel S Helper should therefore use 16:00–02:00 for the sidebar, record the directory conflict privately and advise visitors to check before arriving very early or very late.

Historical coverage helps explain what kind of venue NYX was designed to be. Vietcetera included NYX in Vietnam Bar Week 2023 and described a large lounge with both indoor and outdoor seating, daily music and a cocktail program featuring signature drinks alongside classics. The same feature listed the venue at 27 Lý Thường Kiệt and gave a historical 21:00–02:00 schedule. This older source is useful for concept and identity but should not override the newer claimed 16:00 opening time.

The lounge’s business model appears broader than a pure late-night nightclub. Tripadvisor classifies it under pub, fusion and Vietnamese categories and lists dinner service, while its own description mentions afternoon tea and dishes as well as alcohol. That suggests travelers can expect a lounge-and-dining format that becomes more nightlife-oriented later in the evening. Exact menus, food service hours and whether afternoon tea remains available should still be checked directly because no current operator menu was available in this research cycle.

Music is part of the venue identity, but no reliable current event calendar was found. Historical coverage mentions daily music, DJs and an energetic evening atmosphere, and an older music-video production credited NYX Lounge & Bar as a filming location at the same address. Those details support the long-standing association with entertainment, but the page should not promise a DJ set, dancer performance or named event on any specific night in 2026 without fresh scheduling evidence.

Pricing is similarly fluid. Historical articles promoted low entry-level item prices or temporary discounts, but those offers were tied to 2022–2023 campaigns and should not be recycled. No reliable current menu with 2026 prices was found. Travelers should ask for the current menu and confirm bottle, cocktail, table or minimum-spend terms before ordering, especially if booking a group or premium table.

A normal visit can reasonably last one to three hours, depending on whether the goal is an early-evening drink, dinner or a later DJ-led session. That is an editorial estimate rather than an official recommendation. Because the venue stays open until 02:00 according to the claimed listing, return transport should be considered in advance, especially after midnight. Ride-hailing is usually the simplest option for travelers staying outside central Hoàn Kiếm.

There is not enough current evidence to make a strong accessibility claim. The venue appears to be a purpose-built lounge on a central commercial street, but the current sources do not confirm step-free entry, accessible toilets, lift access, seating dimensions or assistance for wheelchair users. Travelers with mobility requirements should contact NYX before visiting. The same caution applies to smoking areas, age rules, dress expectations and reservation policies.

NYX Lounge & Bar can therefore move from retry to ready status. The key facts are unusually well aligned: the same Hanoi address, phone, email and website appear across current sources, and the business-managed Tripadvisor profile supplies a credible seven-day schedule of 16:00–02:00. What should remain deliberately modest are the claims about menu, events, prices and accessibility. Visitors can plan around an active central-Hanoi lounge, but they should confirm any special service or late-night requirement directly before making a dedicated trip.
