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.

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.

The Cocktail Bar has been shaping drinks in Sofia since 2013 under the line mixing feelings and flavours. 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. 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.
These are the cocktail bars specifically. The full Sofia guide ranks the best bars of every style, and the directory lists all 6 with a map and filters.
