The aptly-named "Bar at the End of the Universe" is on the northern fringes of Studentski grad and as such makes the perfect place to start or finish your intrepid crawl through Sofia's outer reaches. Centred on a big circular bar surrounded by yellowy-orange walls perforated with holes, it looks a bit like a spaceship built out of Swiss cheese. Relaxed, friendly, and with a long list of cocktails and light meals.  [...]

This candle-lit post-industrial cattle shed of a place exudes a relaxing unpretentious vibe, although the disco hits emanating from the muddy sound system sometimes leave a lot to be desired. Maskata's main selling point is the regular diet of live pop-rock. The size of the party [...]
