Tiệm Bia Gà ROOSTER BEERSEST. 2015

The shop's beer. Your food.

An open-front taproom on Bùi Viện — yellow pillars, dark wood, pavement tables, the beer list as a card on the table, and merch as the wall's dress.

The room

A small open-front taproom: yellow pillars, round dark-wood high tables and stools spilling onto the Bùi Viện pavement, a striped awning, pendant lamps, wall fans, framed awards and a "DRINK FIRST" sign on the pillar.

The deal

The owner's own words: "Mồi Cứ Mang Qua, Đồ Uống Để Gà Lo!" — bring your snacks over, let the Chicken handle the drinks. Fresh beer, cold soda, ready-made cocktails; no kitchen, no food menu. The same deal is written on the wall in red capitals: "BIA CỦA TIỆM / ĐỒ ĂN CỦA BẠN".

The merch wall

Caps and T-shirts hang on a grid above the big sign — the red rooster emblem, "ROOSTER BEERS", "BIA CỦA TIỆM / ĐỒ ĂN CỦA BẠN" — with a photo collage pinned underneath. The wall states whose beer and whose food.

The Ale Trail

The Ale Trail map booklet lives on the table — a green street map with brewery stickers (Rooster Beers, Pasteur Street, 7 Bridges, Heart of Darkness, East West, Belgo, BiaCraft) and "FIND YOUR TASTE AND GET A TOKEN". This taproom is one stop on the city's beer trail.

Photos

The taproom in guests' photos — the pavement table and the glass.
