Tiem Bia Ga by Rooster Beers, Thao Dien

This is the Thao Dien outpost of Rooster's own taproom chain, and it brings the brewery's easy-drinking range to a neighbourhood better known for pricier gastropubs. Expect friendly staff, a pavement crowd that spills out on busy nights and a relaxed, unpretentious mood.

Thao Dien is full of good restaurants, so grab takeaway nearby and bring it with you: the taproom is happy for you to eat your own food with your beer.
