A guide to the nightlife in Sofia

Nightlife in Sofia

City breaks essential night life party guide


Bulgarians love to celebrate, dine, go to the theatre, see an opera and party, so it is of no wonder that the entertainment industry was one of the first sectors to recover from Communist austerity. Bulgarians place a great deal of emphasis on friendships and amusement and city dwellers meet up in cafés, restaurants and bars on most evenings, especially in the summer. The capital boasts a long list of discos, hip bars and nightclubs with highly competitive prices. Eating and drinking in Sofia is a remarkably cheap experience, a real winner for budget travellers and stag do’s that don’t want to spend too much money. With a bit of luck you can find everything on the music style spectrum, from house and trance to rock and hiphop. Even in the restaurants there is more than often live folk music and you'll invariably be invited to get up and join in the 'horo' - the national dance. At least once a month, there are mass events with popular world class DJ's and musicians, usually held in large stadiums or in the open. Each year Sofia’s night life scene gets more sophisticated. Without a doubt, the capital is an attractive party capital and stag night heaven. Book with the Bulgaria holidays specialists.

The best bars, pubs, nightclubs and hotspots in Sofia

Chervilo is an up-market club in Sofia, made for the Bulgarian social elite. Chervilo, translates ‘Lipstick’. It is one of the trendiest clubs and therefore guest lists for sports tours or stags would be advisable. The women look and dress like catwalk models, the men dress to impress and the décor is appropriately very plush, creating a very exclusive atmosphere. Sofia stag do’s shouldn’t turn up in large troops. We recommend filtering in bit by bit to get into this amazing chic-nightclub. Once passed the harsh face control, you’ll enjoy the pristine sound system, nice club layout, good-looking clientele and wide drinks selection. For house, trance and techno lovers, you’ll be in paradise, it’s like a club you find in Ibiza. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but you should give Chervilo a try. It’s not a cheesy place, so stag nights in Bulgaria could be disappointed with this choice. Flannagans Bar although not an original venue is often a good place to meet and start your nightlife tour. It is a popular venue for stag weekends in Sofia due to its large size, friendly staff and great variety of imported beers. Located below the SAS Radisson Hotel and opposite the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral it offers a perfect place to plan your lads pissups. It’s typical of all Irish pubs, but it is one of the better ones we’ve drunk in, in Eastern Europe. Pub Shweik is a cheesy local pub, which is worth a visit. It offers great prices in a friendly atmosphere. The food is inexpensive and decent. For those who like their trendy bars then check out Buddha bar. The chilled eastern décor and the funky tunes mean it is a popular choice as a pre-club bar. They serve some excellent cocktails at reasonable prices. The clientele is varied and includes couples, groups and discerning parties, looking for a sophisticated night’s clubbing. There are some nice private seating areas and in the main bar there are normally beautiful go-go dancers adding to the vibe.

One of our favourite clubs is Caramba club. It is a funky Latino Club that serves food earlier in the night. Here you can enjoy live music, brilliant Latino DJ’s and some of the best dance acts in the city. Caramba has a great atmosphere, the people are very friendly and down to earth, cocktails are well mixed and prices are cheap. Caramba club has to be a weekend break winner. If you are in the mood for doing some serious dancing, then the best place to try is the Escape Club, which is the biggest dance club in the city and is guaranteed to keep you moving until the early morning. It predominantly plays house music. Good solid bet for stag do’s abroad. For something completely different then try the tiny club ‘Mojito’. It attracts mainly students and plays 80’s classics and alternative beats. It is ideal for friends on a short break in Sofia. It’s a place to let your hair down, meet people, act silly and have a generally amazing time. Hen nights are welcome with open arms, the drinks are particularly cheap and the parties go on till the break-of-dawn.

A sophisticated club is Club Dali. It is another Latino influenced Night Club but it does cross over into some deep house and RnB. It is an amazing place to visit and even the likes of David Beckham would gel into the background here. It is definitely an image conscious venue and face control is strict on the door so lad type party’s should probably avoid here if they are planning to get dressed up as school girls; we doubt they will see the funny side of it. The Latino nights are by far the best here, everyone who comes here comes for a great dance. The people who frequent this club are very nice and leave all their attitudes & problems at the door. Great choice for a Eastern Europe stag night and fun filled weekend break. A popular restaurant-club in the down town is Sturgaloto, which translates ‘meeting place’. It’s a mix of business men, gorgeous Bulgarian girls, flashy expats and Sofia short break visitors. Not really the place for drunken stags, but you can always rock up and see for yourselves. Although, it sounds like a potentially pretentious place, in fact it isn’t. The bar staff are very friendly, if not flirty, the food is excellent value for money and the drinks prices are still very cheap in comparison to the UK. We highly recommend you lookout for Sturgaloto on your evening adventures. It definitely ranks as one of the best bars in the capital and a good choice for a pre-club drink. Briliantin is excellent dance club. Good reputation for house and techno music.
