Latest reviews from Sofia

“A brand new shop with 6 taps. I was highly disappointed from the place as the selection wasn't anything special and the prices didn't make much sense. Can't see myself ever visiting again.“

“Good selection, but sadly they have a tendency to overprice their stock, I guess because of their centre location. Still, there's much better bottle shops around Sofia.“

“4 Germans on the tap that I'm not sure you can find on the tap anywhere else in Sofia. Cute little place, but sadly the service was slow and prices were high.“

“The most overpriced pub I've ever been to in Sofia, prices are absolutely ridiculous for Bulgarian standards. Also, the service was rather slow. No thank you.“

“10 mainstream taps and quite a lot of Belgian and Czech bottles. Tried their chicken soup which was rather tasteless. Nothing special.“

“Visited 20/8/2022. Last stop on a very successful tour of the Sofia beer scene. Small tap for Kazan Artizan. We shared a flight of the 5 beers they had on offer. Surprisingly the Tomato & Oregano was the most enjoyable. Worth a visit if passing close by, as we were, especially if you're wanting to avoid torrential rain!“

“Visited 20/8/2022. People at The Egg Bar recommended a visit to this newly opened place, opened they said by their supplier. Glad they did as it was a very good visit. As it'd only just opened the place is a little spartan, but they have big plans to build it up a lot more. Very helpful service, friendly atmosphere, and already a good beer selection. Would love to revisit and see how it looked in a years time.“

“Visited 20/8/2022. Resurrected from what had been BEERA, this small bar packed in a lot into its compact space. Lots of fridges with lots of beers, including hidden shelves hiding many surprises! Good service, very friendly locals. Seating inside and out. Definitely one to look for when in Sofia.“

“Visited 20/8/2022. Very comfortable place with probably the classiest and highest quality international beer selection that we saw in Sofia, complementing a decent number of local beers. Good service. Really enjoyed our time here.“

“Visited 20/8/2022. Slightly off the beaten track, down a road where there didn't appear to be anyone likely to pass by and pop in by chance, but really pleased I'd looked this one up in advance and had it as a place to visit. Super friendly service, lovely, relaxed vibe. Beer range was a little limited compared to some other places but was about right for the size of the place. Only place we saw a Bulgarian cider on tap. Enjoyable visit.“

“Visited 19/8/2022. Final stop on a great day touring some of the best places in Sofia. Got a fair number of take-outs but would have been nice to be able to have spent a bit longer here and drink some in. It's a good place, but preferred a couple of the others we visited today.“

“Visited 19/8/2022. Nice little drink in beer shop / bar in a central position well worth stopping off at. Friendly service, small tap selection, and a few fridges. Easy going atmosphere.“

“Visited 19/8/2022. Disappointing visit. The food order we waited ages for just didn't arrive and eventually when we asked where it was, it turned out the order had been "lost". The beer range was a little narrow but we managed to find some of interest whilst we waited for the food and when we eventually found out the food wasn't coming we left, hungry and underwhelmed.“

“Visited 19/8/2022. This turned out to be my favourite of all the places we visited in Sofia. Super drink in or take out specialist beer store with a very helpful and friendly owner and a great range of Bulgarian and also Serbian beers amongst a wide selection of international beers. Had a very relaxed couple of hours here sharing beers.“

“Visited 19/8/2022. Not quite 1001 beers but a big selection nevertheless. It's a grocery store as well as a beer store. A few beers are available on tap. We chose 20+ bottled/canned beers and had a classy outside / on street tasting perched against the narrow shelf in front of the shop window. Nicely located close to the National Palace of Culture which formed the backdrop to a number of Untappd check-ins, along with the street graffiti. Had some good interaction with some locals. Service was helpful. Very much worth a visit for some bulking up at reasonable prices.“

“Visited 18/8/2022. Back street, slightly grungy British themed pub where an unexpected Dorset rating accompanied a selection of Bulgarian tap and cask beers, plus a small number of bottles and cans. Good visit.“

“Visited 18/8/2022. Compact grocery/beer shop that's worth checking out if heading to this part of the city. Big beer selection, less focused on Bulgarian than we'd maybe hoped bit still came away with a dozen or so beers.“

“Visited 18/8/2022. Home of Meadly Bulgarian meads. Something of a gamers paradise. Nice vibe. Good service. Selection of 20+ beers available in addition to the few house meads. Some seating downstairs with more upstairs. Well worth looking out.“

“A brand new craft bar in the centre of the city, worth a visit if you happen to be around. Kinda pricey in my opinion.“

“Small little place on a busy commercial street offering a few dozen bottles for drinking on site. Plenty of Bulgarian selection, prices not bad, service okay. Not a bad stop and pivoteka is nearby for a local craft beer crawl. “

“Basically a corner shop with an extensive selection of beers, craft and non. No seating inside, no glassware, they'll simply pop the bottle cap if you buy something. Selection is very good however, plenty of Bulgarian craft beers available as well as other stuff from around the globe. Not my first pick for a beer destination in Sofia but it ended up useful, with several Bulgaria craft breweries in stock here that hadn't popped up elsewhere.“

“Has a café feel rather than a bar or brewery vibe, rather small interior and relaxing music. Yet lo, there are 27 beers on tap and even more in a fridge! Glasses are .25l or 0.4l with a great variety, yet surprisingly few actual Bulgarian beers. They seemed to be heavy on the Swedish side of things, and while Swedish beers are great they're not what I'm looking for as a beer tourist in Bulgaria. Food options were limited to pastries, nuts, and bags of crisps. Still, quality was high and temperatures were right which makes this more or less a mandatory stop if in the area.“

“Cool small shop with a nice variety of local and non local beers, nice alt rock tunes on the speaker. 6 on tap, most not from Bulgaria and a well stocked fridge. Seating outside too for the smokers, good value, what else can I say, make a stop if in the area.“

“Very small bar with six taps from Kazan Artizan on. They also had a tiny fridge with around 10 beers. Easily the smallest fridge I have seen in a bar, but then again there is’t much space. There is a little extra seating upstairs, but mind your head if you go here. Not a must visit, but we only saw one beer from Kazan Artizan in all the other bars and stores we visited, so you are practically guarateed new ticks here.“

“This place opened less than a week ago, so it was in some ways still a work in progress. They have six taps and 129 bottles according to their latest count. Plans were to get to around 300 bottles. They had some local stuff we had not seen elsewhere in Sofia even though we had had just under 100 Bulgarian beers already on this trip, so worth a visit. They have their own beer as well. Friendly service and good athmosphere.“

“Craft beer store with a drink in option. We arrived just as they opened so we got the lounge chairs towards the back of the room. They had only one tap on at out visit - a Lervig. The bottle and can selction had around 40 locals and lots of Baltics plus some other stuff including a nice Eisbock from Bevog. Good service.“

“Very good beer shop in central Sofia. Shelves were separated into countries and had flags for ease of reference. Drink in with a few taps were available. Good selection.“

“Nice german style pub that can be a little hard to find since it is in a back yard. They served Glarus and River Bulgarian beers. Service was crap. We ordered food and they messed up the order, only gave us the snacks and forgot the rest.“

“Nice little bar with six taps including two local beers and a proper local cider. They also have a fridge with around 15 locals, so not up to par with some of the other places we have visited, but still worth a visit. Friendly service.“

“We wnt here after having visited several other beer stores during the day and I was a little disappointed at this place. They did nkt having any drink in seating options and there wasn’t anything outside either. The local beer selection was certainly good and we ended up buying the beers to go instead. Good place but I had expected more. I prefer Nosferatu and Dissident over this.“

Rasmus40 166 days ago

“Small and modern looking bottle shop with around 30 different local bottles and cans. They also had some foreign bottles and six taps including just one local. Good place, but Nosferatu and Dissident close by are better. Drink in and wifi available.“

“This is a restaurant with a limited local craft beer selection. They had a tap and a few bottles from both Glarus and River Craft Beer. We ordered food and a round of beer. Then another round of beer. After about an hour we asked for our food, and apparently they had had a mixup in their IT system, so they hadn’t taken our order. They were taking our orders with pen and paper and the receipt came from an old fashion cash register, so their IT system didn’t even exist.“

Rasmus40 166 days ago

“Another really good bottle shop, but you have to live with the rather loud heavy metal they are playing. Otherwise go to Dissidents close by. They have six beers on tap including three locals at our visit. They also have around 40 local craft beers on can and bottle. You just choose them from the shelf and ask for a cold one at the bar. Drink in is an option. Friendly service.“

“Great little bottle bottle shop with lots of Bulgarian micros both on the shelves and in the fridges. They also have international beers, but we didin’t look too much at them apart from the Dogma ones from Serbia. They also have six taps. Wifi and great service. You can drink in and listen to the jazz and blues.“

Rasmus40 166 days ago

“Good beer store with around 40-50 different Bulgarian micros in bottles and cans and some foreign stuff as well. They also have eight taps. You can sit outside the store and drink your beers if you don’t mind the lack of chairs and tables. Friendly service.“

“This bar has three handpull casks but only one was on at our visit. Very surprisingly it was a Bulgarian cask ale from Rhombus. That’s a first for me. They also have around eight taps of Bulgarian micros and a few bottles and cans. Friendly service. Cash only.“

“This is a tiny beer store with around 20 Bulgarian micros and some macros as well. We bought mainly Meltum and Metalhead. They had foreign beer as well, but we didn’t pay attention to those. Go here for a quick stop only if you’re in the neighborhood, as there are way better stores elsewhere in town.“

“Upscale supermarket with a large range of beers (c. 100), including a lot of Bulgarian stuff across macro and craft. Also a range of Czech, Belgian, German, etc. Good prices. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.“
