Bar How

Northern Laos


Decked in old muskets and rice-paddy hats, Bar How is darkly atmospheric. By night a row of homemade lòw-lów (rice wine), infused with everything from blueberry to lychee, catches the low light and resembles a Victorian apothecary. It also serves pizza, steak and spring rolls (mains 30,000K to 60,000K). However, slack service means you may have to seek out staff.
