I suggest checking out their happy hour specials if you want to save some cash. Drinks can be pricey but during happy hour it's a much better deal, plus the vibe is still great!

Make sure to ask the bartenders for their creative cocktails. They love sharing their own recipes and sometimes you’ll get a surprise drink that's not on the menu.

I learned the hard way that Fridays get super crowded. If you can, go on a Thursday instead; it's more chill and you get to talk with the bartenders easier!

My advice is to bring cash; I found that some drinks were cheaper when I paid with cash instead of card. Those euros add up quickly!

I suggest arriving right at sunset – around 7 PM in summer – for an epic view as the city lights up. The colors are unbelievable and it’s when the crowd is still manageable.

My advice is to check the weather beforehand. I went on a cloudy day and missed out on the amazing views! Clear days make all the difference, so plan accordingly.

I wouldn't recommend sitting outside if the weather is uncertain. It started drizzling on me, and the inside ambiance is just too good to pass up!

My advice is to try their signature cocktails, especially the 'Old Cuban'. They're a bit pricier, but totally worth it for the unique flavors.

I think arriving around 7 PM is perfect to snag a good spot before the crowd hits. This place gets packed, and you don't wanna miss out on their great vibe.

If you're looking to play a game, I suggest booking a table in advance, especially on weekends. It gets pretty busy and you don’t want to wait around

Try their specialty cocktails – they’re delicious! I think you should definitely order one while you’re playing; it adds to the vibe.

Bring some cash if you want to ease the payment process; sometimes their card system can be a bit slow during rush hours.

If you're not a pool pro don't stress. I recommend asking the staff for tips on gameplay – they were super helpful and friendly during my visit.

I recommend getting there around sunset, like 7 PM, for the best views. You catch the beautiful city transitioning from day to night, plus it makes for stunning photos!

I recommend getting there just before sunset around 6:30 PM. The views of Sofia are absolutely amazing as the lights come on, plus it’s less crowded
