Quality of Drinks
⭐⭐⭐
Slightly out of date beer selection, albeit in rather a charmingly naive way. Bases still covered but modernity an afterthought, if a thought at all. Better back bar with familiar classics.
Style/
Décor
⭐⭐⭐⭐
A colourful, stylish and slightly bawdy corner bar with an open entrance in summer, you walk direct from the street onto a parquet floor. Small with local artwork on the wall and personalised ornaments.
Atmosphere/
Character
⭐⭐⭐⭐
The rhythm of the place goes according to its appearance, certainly more Latin in influence than many Bulgarian bars, slightly arty and one of the few venues that fall between the gaps of the typical venues. Lively from evening onwards.

Description
Stylish, bawdy long-standing corner bar that has been going since the mid-90s which around here is a long, long time. Small with a parquet floor for dancing and colourful red paint and local artwork in amongst oddities collected over the years. Drinks are perfunctory and sort of lost in time a little, you’ll find this venue a breath of fresh air, maybe even more than that in amongst some of the more typical cookie cutter sterile venues elsewhere. This is a place to wear your heart on your sleeve, and all the better for it!
