Visų šventųjų baras



While all old town of Vilnius is full of nice cozy pubs and bars, this one is something special. Maybe it’s about it’s location (close to bus station, in the  heart of Vilnius’ old town), maybe atmosphere, but it’s always nice to come back here. Friendly staff, cheap and tasty beer – that’s just what you need :)
This bar is one of the small number of places i recommend if somebody asks my opinion as there are not so many places where you can get good lithunian beer for good price as most of the old town pubs are nowadays adapted for foreigners and lacks variety of local beer. Also most of them are overpriced, so finding place with good beer and good prices can be considered luck. Thanks whoever works with luck, VŠB is also not popular amongst tourists.

Enjoying nature

Somehow it’s suprising for me that I, the one who has allergy for big cities and loads of people, lives in capital. It’s comfortable here, because Vilnius is considered ‘small’ and always mistaken with Riga as Lithuania is ‘part of Russia, capital Riga, people speak only Russian/polish’ and my favorite places is non touristic ones.
I always enjoyed hiking and nature so one of my favorite ways to rest is hiking in regional parks. Around Vilnius there are few and most of them are easily reachable with public transport. Probably my favorite hiking tracks is near Dūkštos, name Karmazinai.

Recommend!

Plum bum bar



Plum bum become one of my favorite places to hang out at instant. It is located in non touristic place, so it is not like one of many bars in main streets full of foreigners and slow staff. Plum bum is cosy, little bar with friendly staff, tasty food and nice parties from time to time. Definitely worth coming back :)
Especially for estonian cider. Plum bum somehow still is only place in Vilnius where is possible to get tasty real cider as most of bars sells cheap very not tasty liquid from Poland ( "Kiss" or "Fizz") whic they overprices till about 8 lt. 
Also they have very tasty meal for good prices.

Sasha Song jazz club

Newest gem in town J
Juliaus Kalinsko/„15 minučių“ photo.

I decided to check this place as soon as I heard about it as it is located  very central and owner is popular singer Sasha Son(g). Wasn’t disappointed at all – very good daily menu, food really tasty, staff helpful and place really cozy. Definitely going back again, probably on one of live music evenings J
Vingrių 25, Vilnius
