Il Kliver Bar n. 1

“Don't let the size fool you! This little bar is an absolute treasure and was the highlight of our evenings in Armenia. If you're looking for an authentic, welcoming, and truly unforgettable experience, look no further. What makes this place so special? Cozy & Soulful: It's small, incredibly intimate, and overflowing with genuine warmth. You instantly feel like you've found a secret spot where real connections happen. Unique Drinks Galore: This is THE place for something different! They're the only bar we found offering such a fantastic selection: Local Delights: Amazing Armenian fruit distillates (think beyond just brandy!) and intriguing homemade infusions you won't find anywhere else. A must-try for any adventurous drinker. Craft Beer Heaven: Excellent craft beer options - both on tap (fresh and varied) and in cans. Beer lovers are well catered for. Serious Spirits: Need something stronger? They have a great selection of proper spirits too. The Heart of the Community:This isn't just a bar; it's a vibrant gathering point. You'll find friendly locals, fellow Armenian travelers, and a fascinating mix of expats ("relocants") all mingling. It creates an incredibly diverse and welcoming atmosphere. Unbeatable Atmosphere: Expect deep, engaging conversations ("about the eternal and infinite"!), spontaneous guitar sessions, and heartfelt songs filling the air. It's magical. Exceptional People: The bartenders are top - skilled, friendly, and happy to guide you through their unique offerings. The owners are simply wonderful, radiating hospitality and ensuring everyone feels at home. Open Late:They truly stay open "until the last guest," respecting the flow of the evening and the company. Foreigners Welcome! As tourists, we were welcomed with open arms, treated like old friends or family from the moment we walked in. Zero pretension, all warmth. In short: This bar offers an unparalleled blend of authentic Armenian spirit (both literally and figuratively!), incredible and unique drinks, fantastic music, and the warmest hospitality imaginable. It's a place where strangers become friends, stories are shared, and memories are made. Forget the big, flashy spots – this is where you experience the real heart of the community. An absolute must-visit for any traveler seeking connection and a unique taste of Armenia. We'll be back on our next trip for sure! Highly, highly recommended!”
