Red Dragon Pub (Tel: 872 085; 23 Muong Hoa street)
They knock out a serious range of beers, as any good pub should, including ginseng flavour. Don't be put off by the quaint tearoom downstairs, as upstairs is a little drinking den of a Brit-style pub that fills up most evenings. Befitting a respectable pub, there is a serious range of beers and some good pub grub. The tearoom downstairs is a good stop for bangers and mash or herbal teas during the day.

Claiming to be 'slightly lounge', Tau brings a different kind of cool to the mountains of the north.
