Nê.Cocktailbar’s Sa Tong Gives Us An Authentically Local Guide To Hanoi
Tattoo lover. Mixology obsessive. And Hanoian through and through. Nê Cocktailbar’s head bartender, Sa Tong, is a major draw for customers – his stature and striking good-looks help too of course. Recruited by industry leader, Pham Tien Tiep, to Ne Cocktail Bar which opened in 2017, Sa Tong’s reputation in the industry has grown steadily since. “Hanoians’ tastes have changed too” Sa Tong tells us, “with an increasing awareness of flavour and even of the glassware we serve our drinks in”. He should know, he’s been instrumental in helping locals learn about cocktails. They mostly go to Nê.Cocktailbar for flavours of home – like their famous pho cocktail or their autumn cocktail that evokes October in the capital. It’s helped the bar win awards, like Hospitality Team of the Year at the recent Vietnam Cocktail Festival’s Bar Awards.
