Located at 7 Trieu Viet Vuong Street (Hanoi), Remedy Potion Class is a classic speakeasy cocktail bar in the truest sense of the word – "hidden away." There's no live music, no DJ, and no happy hour; Remedy is a peaceful place to enjoy chill music and sip cocktails.
Regarding the meaning of the café's name, Luong Quang, founder of Remedy Potion Class, shared: "Remedy means 'antidote'. Actually, for us, this name has a rather cheerful and playful feel. The idea of naming the café went hand in hand with a cohesive creative concept. We believe that cocktails carrying the stories and emotions of both the creator and the drinker will be the 'antidote' for sadness or personal feelings."

A library of love stories with unique "taste".
Inspired by the stately libraries guarding humanity's vast treasure trove of knowledge, and blended with the nostalgic and sophisticated Dark Academia undertones of 18th-century European aristocratic families, Remedy Potion Class is built to seek an antidote to the age-old dilemma – love.

“Remedy is like a repository of memories, recreating the time I spent studying and working in Europe. The library scenes, flower gardens, murals, and toys are all beautiful pieces of memory, preserving many emotions and a part of my dreamy teenage soul that doesn't want to grow up,” Luong Quang confided.
When talking about classic European style, many people immediately think of walls stained with the patina of time, towering wooden cabinets, or luxurious leather sofas. That's also why people imagine classic style as something only for the expensive and the elderly. Remedy was born as a unique creation, combining classic and youthful elements, charming yet vibrant.

Dark Academia creates a cozy and inspiring atmosphere. This style evokes the setting of old European aristocratic private schools, carrying a nostalgic, dreamy yet melancholic quality.
“When we chose Dark Academia as our main style, we weren't entirely satisfied with its characteristic dark and somber tones. So, when we started working on it, we decided to add vibrant and lively colors, creating a setting like a lovely room for children who want to immerse themselves in their own world with toys, paintings, books, flowers, light, never growing up, forever happy and joyful,” said the founder of Remedy Potion Class.
At Remedy Potion Class, the bar is designed to evoke the image of traditional European libraries, with its majestic clock tower, antique book display areas, and exquisite sculptures.

The "antidote" to heal the soul.
With the desire to share the precious range of emotions in love, Remedy Potion Class's signature cocktails are created based on the seven hormones that give rise to the emotions of joy, anger, love, and sorrow in each person.
Beyond familiar cocktails, signature cocktails each carry their own unique emotions and soul. To date, Remedy's signature cocktail collection boasts 15 items, with 7 original signature cocktails inspired by 7 hormones that create the emotional highs that make us feel "like we're in love," including: serotonin (happiness), oxytocin (attachment), adrenaline (adventure), endorphin (pain relief), testosterone (desire), dopamine (energy), and vasopressin (loyalty).

Building upon the original 7 signatures and with the desire to further develop the concept of a "poisons classroom," the signatures in the new collection focus on exploring the idea of drugs used in treating psychological and psychiatric disorders.
Regarding the creation of signature cocktails that embody meaningful love stories, Luong Quang shared: “The idea of using chemicals and pharmaceuticals initially made us very hesitant because it could cause discomfort to customers. But luckily, it was warmly received by young people. In fact, from the beginning, we wanted to create cocktails that could connect and evoke empathy, and what theme is easier to share and resonate with than the theme of love?”
Each cocktail tells a love story, carrying genuine emotions and memories encapsulated in every ingredient.
Furthermore, each cocktail tells a love story, carrying genuine emotions and memories encapsulated in each ingredient. “For example, the Serotonin cocktail, with its blend of four European berries, is a declaration of love from a man to a woman who has a passionate love for the summer scenery of France. Or the Vasopressin cocktail, with its lavender and rose notes, represents a vow of unwavering loyalty and stubborn devotion in love,” explains the man with 15 years of experience in the nightlife industry.
Sharing his plans for Remedy Potion Class's future development, Mr. Luong Quang said: “Remedy is preparing for a new look with a complete overhaul of the space and products. We will develop more activities at the bar to enhance customer interaction with the bartender. In addition, we will be organizing guitar and violin duet nights so that customers visiting Remedy will have a more fulfilling emotional experience. This will be a rather large plan, requiring meticulous investment in finances and creativity. However, these are also things we are very excited to bring to everyone.”
