Saturday nights are reserved for fine music and very often there are guest DJs who make you dive in the rhythm of the dance under the sounds of funk, disco, swing, and more different styles. Sitting on the chairs is something that is rarely seen, and the rhythms allow you to unfold your movements and relax, leaving behind all sorts of care.
The bar is the gathering point for all in the swing community in Plovdiv, who for the last year gathered hundreds of more followers. Their thematic parties are truly legendary - with a special photo corner and the participation of the dancers from Lindy Hop Plovdiv, who with their impressive movements and figures evoke everyone who wants to join and discover the magic of the dance. Every second Tuesday of the month is reserved for the passionate rhythms of tango.

One of the most popular drinks is French 75, which here is prepared in a variation with gin, skinos, strawberry fragolino and basil. The original cocktail became popular during the First World War, and the story says it was named after a French cannon, known for its accuracy and speed. It is believed that the drink is so strong that you feel like you are struck by the powerful barrel of the French 75mm field gun.
From the cocktails, we strongly recommend you try the latest addition, mixed by Georgi Arabadzhiev. Its name is Nessie and it includes an irresistible combination of tequila, Chartreuse liqueur, honey, lime, sage, and celery. The taste is a fresh explosion of garden aromas. The name comes from the famous Loch Ness monster, but this shouldn’t scare you, because behind the startling green color lies a real delight for connoisseurs of quality drinks.
