My Yerevan :)
Neighbourhoods
Saryan Street is a bustling hub of Yerevan’s young and innovative wine scene.
Cheap rents and ample space attracted some of Yerevan’s bohemian artist types. The street once dotted by a couple of edgy bars like Process, Irish pub, Calumet is now full of wine bars, steak houses, gourmet burger pits and tapas places.
The Saryan Museum, which holds the works of Martiros Saryan, the street’s original bohemian artist, can be visited 6 days a week.
The street now also holds the annual 𝐘𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥
every summer. Hundreds of wine makers descend onto Saryan, which is typically closed to traffic, for a weekend-long party with some of the country’s greatest grape-produce. Visitors feast on wine and food while enjoying Armenian jazz and local DJs.

The Cascade complex steps are amazing to climb and you get a view of much of the city at the top. The art, concrete, and water features are pretty amazing compared to the other structures in the city. Many cafes line the bottom of the cascades.

Housed in a vast flight of stone steps known as the Cascade, this arts centre is one of the city's major cultural attractions. Originally conceived in the 1920s by Soviet architect Alexander Tamanyan as part of his plan to modernise Yerevan, work on the monumental structure finally commenced in the 1980s but stalled after the 1988 earthquake. Eventually, Armenian-American philanthropist Gerard Cafesjian came to the rescue, funding its completion and transformation into a multi-level contemporary arts space.

Afternoons are good for work and enjoy good coffee and delicious horderves. The staff is very nice, attentive and all speak English. It’s on the more expensive side for this part of the world. In the evening it’s very crowded and active, with music, dances and sparkling dresses. I will call it a posh place, so if you brought that special shirt or a dress, defo give it try here ;)

Simona is the local fav, they manage to always have a good crowd and a good vibe. The menu gets regularly updated, every so often they offer a new list of special cocktails, a really nice selection all in all.
They often play 70's funk and 80's music, but sometimes they go into techno and long boom boom night type of thing :)
Door control is strict, but no problems for tourists in general.
Friday and Saturdays can be super packed.

This is where we hang out most of the time, really international vibe, very positive, customer-friendly and people who are seriously into music, as that's where it all starts on Friday. Prep for long nights.
Stylish, comfortable, good teas, cocktails, great music, but most importantly extremely kind and beautiful staff! Naturally positive-minded and smiling people all around!
Good for lunch, coffee, working with laptop. Evenings on fri-sat can get more into Dancing drinking outside, talking with random people and all that free spirit stuff.
