Cocktail Bars in Sofia
Sofia's cocktail scene runs from a space-themed room by the park to bars that skip the menu. The best cocktail bars in Sofia start with Sputnik Cocktail Bar in Oborishte, which calls itself Bulgaria's first venue in 50 Best Discovery and lights its industrial room with merkaba lamps. Phi Cocktail Bar on Shishman Street pairs Roku gin with fino sherry, fig leaf and pickle, and builds its Pear Negroni on pear rakia, amontillado and brown butter. At 3 oz. Bar on Vasil Levski Boulevard, each drink is made to the guest's taste, and the house rule is that the music is the bar's choice alone. Phi is walk-in only. These are the bars we would start with.

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. Each cocktail pairs the familiar with the unexpected, and presentation is treated as part of the drink. Walk ins only.

Cocktail BarSputnik Cocktail Bar
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.

The Cocktail Bar has been shaping drinks in Sofia since 2013 under the line mixing feelings and flavors. It sits on Angel Kanchev Street, and its bartenders build seasonal menus around fresh ingredients and house preparations, with a long running focus on gin and tonic combinations.

3 oz. Bar
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.
