No separate tip.

Gorilla keeps about six PG girls on site. They pour your drinks and keep you company, and there is no tip on top.

The worst part of a table like this in Hanoi is not knowing what gets added to the bill later. Here nothing does.

A pub downstairs, a pool hall upstairs.

This is what sets the place apart. Drink and eat on the ground floor, then go up for a game of pool when the night settles in. Beer, a game, another beer — a long evening never drags, because you come back down with something new to talk about.

The oak-barrel interior.

Inside there are big oak barrels and chains worked into the decor. It does not look like the usual Korean bar in My Dinh, and it gives you something to point at when you bring someone here for the first time.

One of the busier pubs in Hanoi.

The room is large, so a group rarely gets turned away. It does fill up on weekends, though — tell us in advance if there are a lot of you.

A proper food menu.

Not a bag of crisps with your beer. There is a real range of dishes that go with drinking, good for a group ordering several things to share. It works as a first stop or a second one.

Good with colleagues.

A heavy restaurant is too much for a work night out and a small bar is too little. Gorilla sits in between — big room, pool table, real food. It works whatever the headcount.

⚠ For two people talking quietly it is on the loud side. This is a place for a group.

5pm to 1am.

On Me Tri street (CT4) in My Dinh. Tell a taxi or Grab driver "Korilla Pub" — that is the name on the sign and on the map.

Send us your group size and time and we will check the space for you. We will also check the pool table and how many staff are on that night. The details we handle over chat, since they change from night to night. It costs you nothing extra.
