The Moose & Roo Pub & Grill in Hanoi, Vietnam

The Moose & Roo Pub & Grill is a Western-style gastropub at 170 Xuân Diệu in Hanoi’s Tây Hồ district, serving American, Canadian and broader pub-grill food with a full bar. The current address is important because older Travel S Helper material points to 36 Xuân Diệu; current claimed listings and business directories now identify 170 Xuân Diệu with the same phone number and Moose & Roo identity. The restaurant is best suited to travelers who want burgers, grill food, beer and a relaxed pub atmosphere near West Lake rather than a specifically Vietnamese meal. It also works well for groups and families because the service format is familiar and the menu is broad.

Current major listings classify the food as American, bar, gastropub and Canadian, with lunch, dinner and brunch service. The restaurant is known for the kind of hearty dishes expected from that profile: burgers, wings, steaks, salads and pub-style plates. Vegetarian-friendly and gluten-free options are also flagged, though travelers with medical dietary restrictions should speak directly with staff about preparation and cross-contact. The broad menu makes Moose & Roo a practical break from Vietnamese cuisine for long-stay visitors or families with children who want recognizable choices.

The pub side of the business matters as much as the grill. Current listings document a full bar, alcohol service, outdoor seating, television and a late closing time around midnight. That makes Moose & Roo useful for sports, evening drinks and longer social meals. It is not a quiet fine-dining room, and travelers wanting an intimate or highly formal dinner should choose accordingly. The atmosphere is closer to an international neighborhood gastropub, which fits the expatriate-heavy Tây Hồ area.

Hours vary slightly between current platforms. The claimed Tripadvisor listing currently shows 11:30 to midnight Monday through Friday and 10:00 to midnight on Saturday and Sunday. Other business directories round the weekday opening to 11:00, while map data can show 23:30 closing. For practical planning, the claimed Tripadvisor schedule is the most specific current set. Visitors arriving right at opening or close to midnight should still confirm directly, especially on holidays or event nights.

The move to 170 Xuân Diệu also changes how travelers should think about location. Tây Hồ is northwest of the Old Quarter and is not naturally part of a central Hoàn Kiếm walking itinerary. Ride-hailing is usually the simplest option from downtown. Once in the West Lake area, the restaurant fits well with cafés, bars and lakeside neighborhoods around Quảng An. The exact current address should be used in navigation because older articles and directory pages still circulate the previous 36 Xuân Diệu location.

A normal meal can take around one to one and a half hours, while groups watching sport or staying for drinks may spend much longer. Reservations are available, and the restaurant provides outdoor seating, takeaway and table service. Families can use high chairs according to current listings. Accessibility is less straightforward: current map-derived data does not consistently support a step-free entrance or seating claim, so wheelchair users should contact the venue before travel instead of assuming the pub is fully accessible.

Price expectations should be set against international pub dining rather than Hanoi street food. Imported ingredients, Western-style portions and alcohol make this a more expensive meal than local noodle or rice shops. For travelers craving a burger, beer or familiar brunch, that tradeoff may be worthwhile. For someone with only a short time in Hanoi and a strong interest in local cuisine, Moose & Roo is less essential because its appeal is deliberately international.

The current evidence supports the same Moose & Roo entity continuing at 170 Xuân Diệu rather than a new unrelated business. The phone number remains +84 24 3266 8081, the current claimed listing is active, and the brand’s website domain and email remain associated with the restaurant. The main migration note is therefore address continuity: preserve the VN entity ID, update the visitor address to 170 Xuân Diệu, and do not send readers to the older 36 Xuân Diệu location. With that correction, The Moose & Roo Pub & Grill remains an active Tây Hồ option for Western comfort food, drinks and late-evening social dining.

Current listings also make the pub useful for practical family and group dining. Reservations, high chairs, outdoor seating and takeaway are all documented, and the long evening hours reduce pressure to arrive at a narrow dinner slot. Groups should still reserve when a major sports event is likely to draw a crowd, because televisions and the full-bar format are part of the venue’s appeal. Outdoor seating can be pleasant in cooler months but less comfortable during Hanoi’s hottest or wettest periods.

The brand name can also create confusion with The Moose & Roo Smokehouse, another Moose & Roo concept associated with central Hanoi in older and current travel material. This B0062 entity is specifically the Pub & Grill on Xuân Diệu in Tây Hồ. Travelers should match the full name, phone number and 170 Xuân Diệu address rather than relying on the Moose & Roo brand alone, especially when booking a ride or meeting a group.
