10 Plovdiv Bars for Beer and Cocktails
-
01 / Beer in Kapana
Cat & Mouse
Cat & Mouse began as a beer bar in 2015 and describes a selection of more than 150 beers in its own introduction. At 14 Hristo Dyukmedzhiev Street, it sits in the heart of Kapana. It is a clear starting point when beer, rather than a nightclub programme, is the reason for going out.
- Address
- Kapana Rayon Tsentralen, St „Hristo Dyukmedzhiev“ 14, 4000 Sq ovdiv
- Catalogue rating
- 4.6/5 · 1,418 reviews
-
02 / Drinks on Otets Paisiy
Bar Fabric
Bar Fabric at 31 Otets Paisiy Street works for drinks after dinner along the same street, including Smokini. Its own page presents the venue as a Bar & Grill, a useful distinction if you want a bar where food is also part of the offer. The location keeps both stops in the same area.
- Address
- Centre Rayon Tsentralen, St „Otets Paisiy“ 31, 4000 Sq ovdiv
- Catalogue rating
- 4.5/5 · 960 reviews
-
03 / At 1 Gladston Street
Fargo
Fargo is listed at 1 Gladston Street in the House of Technology. It gives you a meeting point around Tsar Simeon Garden away from Kapana’s bar streets. Be specific when arranging the meeting: Bee Bop Café is also listed at 1 Gladston, but it has a separate venue profile.
- Address
- Dom na tehnika, Centre Rayon Tsentralen, St „Gladston“ 1, 4000 Sq ovdiv
- Catalogue rating
- 4.6/5 · 1,502 reviews
-
04 / A central rock bar
Rock Bar Download
Rock Bar Download at 5 Lady Strangford Street is a specific option for a group looking for a rock bar. It sits outside the small Bratya Pulievi cluster of other club addresses. Follow the website in its profile for the programme; the musical focus is a more useful starting point than a small difference in rating.
- Address
- Rayon Tsentralen, St „Leydi Strangford“ 5, 4000 Sq ovdiv
- Catalogue rating
- 4.7/5 · 1,145 reviews
-
05 / Cocktails on Hristo Dyukmedzhiev
ANYWAY Cocktail Bar
ANYWAY is the cocktail-bar address at 32 Hristo Dyukmedzhiev Street. It keeps you in Kapana while shifting the focus from beer to cocktails. Compare it with Cat & Mouse and Sandak according to the drinks your group wants, rather than trying to fit every venue into a single evening.
- Address
- 32 Hristo Dyukmedzhiev str, Kapana Rayon Tsentralen, St „Hristo Dyukmedzhiev“ 32, 4000 Sq ovdiv
- Catalogue rating
- 4.7/5 · 571 reviews
-
06 / Whisky and gin in Kapana
Sandak Whisky & Gin Bar
Sandak is at 1 Kiril Popov Street and identifies itself as a whisky and gin bar. That gives drinkers a more focused choice than a general search for bars in Kapana. The profile links to the venue’s own page as the next step for exploring what it offers.
- Address
- Kapana Rayon Tsentralen, St „Kiril Popov“ 1, 4000 Sq ovdiv
- Catalogue rating
- 4.7/5 · 391 reviews
-
07 / A Gladston Street meeting point
Bar Poshtata
Bar Poshtata at 8 Gladston Street is an option near the southern end of the main pedestrian route. Compare it with Fargo if your evening starts in this part of Plovdiv. The photographs and more than 600 catalogue reviews provide material for choosing between the two nearby addresses.
- Address
- Centre Rayon Tsentralen, St „Gladston“ 8, 4000 Sq ovdiv
- Catalogue rating
- 4.7/5 · 666 reviews
-
08 / Craft beer and indie rock
Lo/Hi Craft Space
Lo/Hi Craft Space at 55 Rayko Daskalov Street describes its focus as craft beer and indie rock. It adds a more specific pairing to the beer options in this selection. The address works for plans along the northern stretch of the pedestrian centre, without taking the group back towards Gladston Street.
- Address
- Centre Rayon Tsentralen, St „Rayko Daskalov“ 55, 4000 Sq ovdiv
- Catalogue rating
- 4.9/5 · 145 reviews
-
09 / A Georgi Benkovski Street bar
Barber & Cat
Barber & Cat at 14 Georgi Benkovski Street is another address within Kapana’s compact street network. Consider it when you already have dinner planned in the district and want the next stop nearby. Its profile shows the venue’s photographs, rating and contact details; it is distinct from Cat & Mouse.
- Address
- Kapana Rayon Tsentralen, St „Georgi Benkovski“ 14, 4000 Sq ovdiv
- Catalogue rating
- 4.7/5 · 358 reviews
-
10 / An Irish bar in the centre
Morrigan Irish Bar
Morrigan at 17 Petko Karavelov Street brings an Irish bar into the ten. It is an alternative to the Hristo Dyukmedzhiev addresses when that venue format is what your group prefers. For a particular evening, follow the page from the listing rather than assuming a match or musical event is scheduled.
- Address
- Centre Rayon Tsentralen, St „Petko Karavelov“ 17, 4000 Sq ovdiv
- Catalogue rating
- 4.8/5 · 273 reviews

How we chose these places
Our selection balances venue format, location and the available catalogue reviews. Numbers help you navigate; they are not tasting scores. Ratings and counts are a snapshot from 6 September 2026. Listing data and any additional venue sources are linked separately. We have not personally visited every place.
Our editorial approach →Build an evening around one area
Kapana makes it possible to keep the evening within a few neighbouring streets, including Hristo Dyukmedzhiev, Georgi Benkovski and Kiril Popov. Fargo and Poshtata are around Gladston, while Fabric is on Otets Paisiy. Pick the cluster that fits your restaurant or starting point rather than crossing the whole centre between drinks.
Before you go
Does a bar rating tell me what the evening will be like?
Read the score alongside its review count, then choose by the type of venue and location. An event night can differ from an ordinary evening. Beach bars, café-bars, tasting rooms and music venues are described by their actual format in the selection.
