Midnight club — Restaurant in Hà Nội

Best advice ever, bro! I learned the hard way — I spent over $1,000.

This place is an absolute scam. STAY AWAY.

I met a few girls through Meeef and Tinder who invited me here. At first, they seemed friendly and genuine — but it was all a perfectly staged setup. Every single one of them turned out to be a scammer, and the whole night felt like walking into a trap.

They started with light conversation and casual drinks, then boom — I got slapped with a bill for over $1,000. Refusing to pay felt dangerous. The pressure was overwhelming, the vibe sketchy, and I honestly felt cornered. There was nothing premium about the place: the drinks were cheap, the atmosphere was cold, and everything screamed “rip-off.”

This isn’t a date spot — it’s a tourist trap disguised as a social venue. These girls are part of the con, trained to bait guys into blowing huge amounts of money.

I lost my money, my time, and worst of all — my trust.

One more time: DO NOT COME HERE. If someone on Meeef or Tinder suggests this place, it’s 100% a scam. Save...

Title: BEWARE - Appears to be a scam targeting foreigners.

I went on a date, and the girl insisted we go to this specific place. As soon as we sat down, I was given a menu with exorbitantly priced bottles. My date pointed to a bottle of champagne and said she wanted it—the price was $700.

I became suspicious and asked her if she worked there or knew the servers, but she said no. When it became clear I was not going to buy the $700 bottle, she immediately lost interest and wanted to go home.

This exact situation almost happened again with another girl who also tried to bring me here. When I told her about my previous experience, she said it would be "less money" this time. I refused to go in, and she went in by herself.

It seems obvious that these girls work with the nightclub to scam foreigners into buying overpriced bottles. I suspect they have a different, much more expensive menu just for tourists while locals get normal prices. Avoid this place at all costs if you are a foreigner; it feels like a targeted...

I understand now that this place and the people who run it have chosen their way of life. They could have built an honest, respectable club — but they didn’t. That was their choice.

There are many kind and genuine people in Vietnam, but sadly, this place was not one of them. At first, I was angry. Later, that anger turned into quiet disappointment.

Many foreigners have the same experience here — being overcharged, feeling cheated, and leaving bad memories of Hanoi and Vietnam. Those memories spread, and over time, they shape how the world sees this country.

I’ve visited Vietnam many times. And in most tourist areas, people are always ready to deceive foreigners. That’s the real limitation of this country.

For now, tourists still come because prices are cheap. But one day, they will stop coming. People remember bad experiences longer than good ones.

When that day comes, Vietnam will lose not only money, but trust — and that would...
