If you like beer you are in the right place! In Vilnius you can find good beer in almost any bar or restaurant you visit. The town is actually a paradise for beer lovers. Craft beer from local microbreweries is everywhere. However, there are couple exceptional bars where you can find many beer brands under one roof. First is “Alaus namai” or Beer home, which is located a bit further from the main bar and restaurant streets near river Neris. Here you can find a lot of local draft beer, wooden interior and comparatively low prices. Second is “Alaus biblioteka” or Beer library, which is in Trakai street. Here you can find the biggest amount of different beer kinds in whole city. However, the prices there are quite high compared to other bars in town, so keep that in mind.

However, if beer is not what you enjoy most, Vilnius has a huge range of cocktail bars, and finding your favorite cocktail can be a real challenge. There are places like “Apoteka” located in Visu Sventuju street 5, where you can get unique and great cocktails or “Spiritus” located in Ausros vartu street 4, where you can enjoy local vibe and friendly bartenders while also getting a shot of the drink you like. Moreover, we need to mention couple more places where you can enjoy not only the drink but also a view of the city. If you decide to enjoy Old Town view from above, we encourage you to visit Sky Bar which is on the 22nd floor of the Radisson Blu Hotel. If you want to hang out in the tallest building in Vilnius, the TV tower restaurant located 165 meters above ground and it also offers spectacular 360-degree view of the city.
