The column needs to be replaced again. It doesn't make listening to music any fun. It makes a lot of noise and I would say it's extremely annoying.

The clientele was predominantly lesbian, if not exclusively so. Gay patrons were rather rare. The music was okay, and the prices were reasonable. Otherwise, it's a basement bar like any other. Waitresses sometimes like to charge some male guests an extra €1-2, so insist on paying the exact price listed on the menu. The waitress tried this with me and other guys, but I'm paying what everyone else is paying. Sorry, but that's just unacceptable. Please use your common sense.

New Year's Eve with the girls. The atmosphere was fantastic; there were three of us, so the service was very efficient. A warm welcome, as only Sofia residents know how. I highly recommend it and I'll be back for New Year's Eve 2030. Thank you!
