Calumet Ethnic Lounge Bar
Calumet is one of the oldest and coolest clubs, a Hipster place in the center of the city. Easily accessible and great atmosphere. Amazing vibes and a lovely place to meet and hang out with the locals and arty folk. Good range of beverages and food. The music is good and the bar is open till pretty late into the night.
Do note that, as the place is quite popular and gets crowded pretty much every night, it’s advisable to book a table in advance. Also, if you dislike cigarette smoke, you might avoid this place since smoking is allowed here. Address (show on map).
Hemingway’s Pub
Hemingway’s is where the city’s hipsters flock to for a night of craft cocktails in the midst of vintage posters and artwork, old vinyl records, and a plethora of books. It’s a chill place, good music, and good service. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed.
Take our recommendation and visit the place in the early evening for dinner and some drinks or late at night to dance till the morning. And for cool summer evenings, the pub offers an outside open-air roadside area with flexible moving tables and chairs to accommodate small or large groups of people. If Mr. Hemingway himself was around today, he’d likely enjoy his favorite drink, a daiquiri, at the bar while marveling at the pub that he inspired. Address (show on map).

Wine Republic
One of my absolute favorite places to eat in Yerevan! Unsurprisingly, the restaurant also has an impressive wine collection. The restaurant is actually split into two parts: Wine Republic and Thai Republic. Don’t be confused by the names, as both are parts of the same restaurant and share the same menu and outdoor patio. Wine Republic is a very popular place in Yerevan and tables fill up quickly, especially during dinner. It is also located near one of Yerevan’s most famous touristic sights – the Cascade.
