3 oz. opened in 2019 as the shared project of three bartenders. There is no cocktail menu: each drink is built to the guest's taste, ordered and collected at the bar, where guests watch it being made. Funk, hip hop and jazz set the mood, and the kitchen sends out freshly prepared food.
5L is a speakeasy in central Sofia, reached through a secret door. The bar sums itself up as great cocktails made by passionate mixologists, and its team takes part in events such as Negroni Week and regional bar shows.
Phi Cocktail Bar was created by a close knit team around the idea of balance, bringing cocktails and art together. The room on Shishman Street blends classic elegance with a contemporary edge and is dotted with modern art pieces.

Sputnik launched on 1 September 2015 next to the park on Yanko Sakazov Boulevard, with a collaborative team that creates its own signature cocktails. Guests drink under the bar's ambient merkabah lamp or take a seat at the counter beside the bartenders. It serves coffee by day and cocktails in the evening, to a soundtrack of groovy music.
