I recommend checking their events schedule, because sometimes they have themed nights or performances which are a blast! It's well worth your time so you don't miss out.

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 think getting there around 9 PM is perfect. It’s lively enough to mingle yet not super crowded, so you can easily find a good spot to chill.

I recommend trying their vegan desserts! I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious they were, and it didn’t break the bank.

If you want a quieter experience, try visiting on a weekday. Weekends can get a bit packed and loud, especially after 8 PM.

If you’re planning to visit on the weekend, don’t forget to book a table in advance. I didn’t and ended up standing most of the night, which wasn’t ideal!

My advice is to check the event schedule in advance. We found an amazing drag show one night but almost missed it. It's always a good idea to see what's happening before you go!

I suggest checking out Barcode on a Friday night. The vibe is electric, and you can catch some cool local DJs. Just make sure to arrive by about 11 PM to avoid the long lines!

I recommend visiting during the week especially on Wednesday nights. It's much less crowded and you can have a more relaxed time without waiting in long lines. Plus the vibe is chill and welcoming!

I suggest getting there after 11 PM for the best vibe. The crowd really picks up and the energy is amazing! I got there a bit earlier and it felt a bit slow initially

my advice is to check out the drink specials before ordering. they usually have great deals but not all bartenders mention them. i spent more than i needed to because i didn't ask first!

My advice is to join the communal breakfast – it's a perfect way to meet other travelers and swap tips about Sofia while enjoying delicious Bulgarian food

I recommend booking directly through their website for better deals; I found a nice discount that wasn't offered on third-party sites.

I suggest checking out the nearby nightlife before heading back to the B&B. The area is vibrant and safe, especially around 10 PM when things start to get lively!

i think it's a good idea to bring a small extra towel if you plan on using the sauna, because they can get kinda busy and sometimes you’ll need a backup for lounging.

I suggest checking out the happy hour specials, they really help you save some cash on drinks before you dive into the venues. I found it worth it!
