Have you decided to organize a bar tour in Yerevan? Our team has put together a selection of its favorite places.
But we should warn you: this experience will be different from a typical evening around Patriarch’s Ponds or Rubinstein Street. In Yerevan, you will find many wine bars and Instagram-friendly cocktail bars, but you will have to get used to the fact that there are not many traditional shot bars or craft beer spots here.
Mirzoyan Library
10 Mher Mkrtchyan St.
A semi-secret courtyard that, of course, all the locals know about. When the weather is good, all the outdoor tables are taken by stylish young people. They come here to have a cocktail, meet friends, work on a laptop, or simply read a book.
Known for cocktails and DJ sets.
InVino
6 Martiros Saryan St.
A wine bar with a good selection of Armenian wines and light snacks. You can choose wine by the glass and have a proper tasting, or take a bottle and sit comfortably on the terrace while watching people pass by. One pleasant bonus is that even the most affordable wine here will most likely be a good choice.
Known for Armenian wine tastings.
Dargett
72 Aram St.
The craft beer revolution may have mostly passed Armenia by, but Yerevan still has a place for craft beer. Dargett offers beers from around the world, as well as local craft beer.
Known for local craft beer tastings and a beer set of six varieties.
Kong
3/1 Abovyan St.
A cocktail bar with a tropical interior, disco balls, creative cocktails, young people on the dance floor, and DJs. Kong is not a cramped club with wild dancing, but rather something between the old Simachyov and Strelka.
Known for cocktails and a holiday-like atmosphere.
The Beatles Pub
60 Pushkin St.
This pub will appeal to fans of The Beatles and beer lovers. Music from the 1960s and 1970s plays here. There is also a small corner where you can play table football and darts.
Known for the atmosphere of a classic pub.
Hot Pub
144/3 Verin Antarayin St.
This is a pub-café where you can not only enjoy food and drinks, but also play airsoft, laser tag, and take part in quests with friends.
Known for evenings with friends.
Pahest 33
29/4 Moskovyan St.
An ideal place to spend the evening. Here you will definitely find a cocktail to your taste, and after sunset, a DJ set begins.
