Beer Garden - Craft Beer & Food — Restaurant in Buon Ma Thuot

I first went here for dinner and drinks last year and thought it was pretty decent, but I happened to see the boss hilariously mock excessively entitled, snobby foreigners in the disclaimer on Google Maps (I agree with him 100%), which really increased my desire to visit again.

As I was attending a friend's wedding party later in the evening on this visit; I couldn't sample the food this time, but I did enjoy a very nice beer (The Directors Chocolate Porter?) in fairly comfortable, well decorated surroundings. It still looks very polished and brand new inside, despite a whole year separating my two visits.

After a few moments inside, one can get the impression that this restaurant mostly attracts fairly middle class, local business diners; a table was leaving shortly after I had entered. They do appear to love a good toast (or ten), generously share their cigarettes around etc, but isn't that just a normal thing in many parts of Asia?

If you live or do business in BMT, this is a good little place to know about; it is clean, has top notch beer and food that your local suppliers, clients or date will actually enjoy, rather than just tolerate.

Yes, there's not much English on the menu, but you will find even less English written on the menus of the other places around the corner. The staff don't speak much English either, but I find that if you do try to speak a bit of basic Vietnamese, they're still very nice, friendly and accommodating people. They even gave me free peanuts with my beer.

My one and only complaint: My favourite beer on their list, the Eloquent Phantom Imperial Stout had sold out this time. I can only hope that they'll have it back in stock when I visit my wife's family in Daklak again next year.

Overall, I can say that I absolutely love this pub/restaurant; it's a hidden gem for those who are visiting...

Was hanging for a steak and the meat looked quite good before being cooked - that’s where it ended .. it was overcooked , medium well done not medium rare as we asked . when the steak has cooked you must let it sit and rest for 3 to 5 minutes to enhance the flavour and let the juices permeate the meat which helps tenderise, however they slice the whole steak immediately so it has dried out after the first bite …..the customer should be the one that slices to their liking, but they do not even provide knives anyway 🙄 just to enhance the experience the owner walks through smoking the most disgusting smelling cigarette - only upside is Heart of Darkness beer is always good- I passed on this information to them and they just smile and nod - perhaps that’s why we were the only customers on a...

It's really hard to find a craft beer place in BMT, and this one, in my opinion, is the finest and cheapest you can find. I've read comments about the beer here being expensive. But cmon guys, it's still much cheaper than in SG or HN. I mean where can you find a decent stout for the price of 4$/glass??? It'd be at least nearly 10 dollar in SG or even more. I know the food isn't really up to the "Western standard" but it's still good.

Give it a try guys and you won't be disappointed. As a beer lover, I really don't want a place like...
