Discover Track 61, Hanoi’s secret speakeasy bar. Hidden behind The Hudson Rooms, it offers rare whiskies, vintage vibes, and top cocktails.
Hidden discreetly within The Hudson Rooms at Hanoi’s Capella Hotel, Track 61 is one of the city’s most intriguing secrets. In 2024, The Hudson Rooms and Track 61 were jointly recognized among the Top 81 bars in the region by the prestigious Asia’s 50 Best Bars Awards, securing the No. 81 spot—a rare distinction for a bar-within-a-bar concept.
Gaining entry isn’t straightforward—it requires a special ticket, handed out quietly and at the discretion of the staff, sometimes slipped to guests who’ve caught the right person’s attention or asked the right question. But holding the ticket alone isn’t enough; visitors must also solve an ever-changing riddle to find the hidden door, a final playful barrier between guests and the pleasures within.
Inside, Track 61 feels like stepping directly into the 1920s. Jazz murmurs from hidden speakers, casting a spell that blends effortlessly with the glow of vintage lamps and polished wood. The ambiance is rich and immersive, never overdone. Seating is limited to sixteen plush chairs, enhancing a sense of intimacy and exclusivity.
Behind the bar, talented bartenders mix classic cocktails and pour carefully chosen spirits. Each drink is crafted with precision and flair, often featuring creative twists on timeless recipes. Many guests choose to pair their cocktail with a premium cigar, expertly recommended by the staff, for a full sensory experience.
The bar is also home to an impressive collection of whiskies, highlighted by rare bottles like the Macallan from 1950. Bartenders often share stories about these prized spirits, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to each sip.
No two visits to Track 61 feel quite the same. Whether it’s a new twist on a signature cocktail, an unexpected recommendation, or the way the riddle changes each night, the experience stays fresh and unpredictable. Leaving the bar is always tinged with a slight sense of reluctance, as though stepping back from a hidden world into reality. And yet, it’s precisely this secretive allure, combined with genuine hospitality and timeless style, that makes Track 61 an unforgettable Hanoi experience.
