Used to be a bar now it is a brunch place during the day and a bar at night. And because of that, it is not on my personal favorite list anymore, but still a good and popular place.

Cozy bar right next to the "Raketa Rakia Bar" (which is not a bar actually) and that is pretty convenient because you can eat first and then drink. Both places are next to the "Zaimov Park", so you can end up drinking beer on some bench with your friends just like the locals do.
