If you're getting ready to head out on the highway (in the proverbial "Born to Be Wild" sense), Highway 4 is your first stop. It's the unofficial meeting point for the Minsk Club of Vietnam (a Minsk is the rugged Russian motorbike especially popular for travel in the north of Vietnam). A visit to this bar/restaurant is all about hard drinking and tall-tale-telling about motorbike adventures up north. They even brew their own particularly potent rice whiskey, the Son Tinh brand, which will cross your eyes and make you believe any story. Softening up their image a little, the restaurant is now offering cooking classses.
