Nậu Café & Cassette Workshop

Ô Chợ Dừa, Đống Đa, Hanoi, Vietnam

Nậu is an analogue café with a proper use for its collection. The ground floor has a music table with vinyl, cassette decks, amplifiers, and speakers, while the shelves hold more than 500 records alongside a much larger cassette and CD archive. Vinyl plays daily, with dedicated sessions on weekends.

Upstairs, each table has its own cassette player and headphones. Pick a tape, plug in, and listen without competing with the rest of the room. That is the detail that makes Nậu more than a retro café: the formats are there to be handled, not merely photographed. It is best for an unhurried afternoon or an early-night session, especially if you want to browse first and decide what to hear once you are seated.
