One More Bar

One More Bar is a cocktail and wine bar at 12 Tsar Shishman Street in central Sofia, Bulgaria, housed in a former kindergarten building, a detail that gives the venue much of its character. The location is in the Sofia Center area close to Doctor's Garden and a cluster of other bars and cafes, so it fits easily into a walking route through the city. The crowd is a relaxed mix of locals, students, remote workers during the day and groups of friends in the evening, with an age range from the early twenties to the forties. The atmosphere is informal and homey; there is no dress code and casual clothes are the norm. The drinks programme covers cocktails, beer and wine, and the venue is known for mulled wine, which makes it especially appealing in the colder months from late autumn to early spring. Prices are in the moderate range for central Sofia. Because opening hours run daily from 08:30 to 02:00, the bar works as a morning coffee stop, an afternoon hangout and a late-evening drinks venue, and the mood changes through the day from quiet and café-like to busier and more sociable after dark. Friday and Saturday evenings are the busiest periods, while weekday afternoons and early evenings are best for finding a table. Music is generally background level, chosen to keep conversation easy rather than to drive a dance floor. There is no cover charge. Reservations are usually unnecessary for small groups, though larger parties may want to ask the staff before a weekend visit, and bottle service is not part of the offer. In summer, outdoor seating where available is popular, and the building's playful origins as a children's facility often prompt comments from first-time visitors. The bar is a short walk from 5L Speakeasy Bar on the same street, which makes pairing the two simple.
