Craft Brewery Bar in Armenia
Dargett Craft Beer
Armenia's leading craft brewery and gastropub, brewing 10+ styles including IPAs, stouts, and seasonal specials in-house. The lively industrial-chic space on Teryan Street draws a young, international crowd. Food menu of burgers and pub bites complements the beer perfectly.
Dargett Craft Beer is Armenia's flagship craft brewery and gastropub, occupying a lively industrial-chic space on Teryan Street in central Yerevan. Founded in 2014, Dargett helped launch Armenia's craft beer movement and remains the most recognized name in the category. The brewery produces more than ten distinct styles in-house at any given time, spanning session IPAs, American stouts, wheat beers, pale ales, and rotating seasonal specials. All beers are brewed on-site and the tap list is displayed on a large chalkboard above the bar, updated as kegs rotate.
The interior blends exposed brick, reclaimed timber, and metal pipe fittings into an aesthetic that feels simultaneously urban-industrial and welcoming. Long communal tables fill the center of the room while bar seating lines the perimeter, giving regulars and first-timers equal access to the brewing action visible through a glass partition. The crowd skews young and internationally diverse — a common meeting point for Yerevan's expat community, tech workers, and visiting tourists.
The food program centers on American-style gastropub fare: smash burgers, loaded fries, wings, and sharing platters designed to complement the hoppy pours. Vegetarian options are available and the kitchen stays open late to match the bar's extended evening hours. On weekends the place fills well before midnight, with noise levels rising to match. Weeknights are considerably calmer and better suited to conversation.
Dargett operates seven days a week, typically opening around noon and serving until midnight or later on Fridays and Saturdays. There is no cover charge. A pint of the flagship IPA or stout typically runs 1,200–1,800 AMD. Seasonal releases and limited-batch brews sell out quickly; arriving earlier in the evening maximizes tap selection. The venue does not take reservations, operating on a first-come basis. Sampler flights spanning the full house tap list allow structured tasting without committing to full pours, making Dargett a practical first stop for visitors curious about Armenian craft brewing.
