Būsi Trečias is a brewpub on Totorių gatvė in the Old Town of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. The name, which translates roughly as 'there will be a third', is a playful reference to the idea of joining two friends for one more drink, and the venue leans into that relaxed, sociable spirit. The crowd is a mix of locals after work, university-age groups and visitors exploring the historic centre, and there is no dress code beyond ordinary casual clothing. The atmosphere is that of a traditional beer hall rather than a nightclub: conversation is the main activity, and the volume stays low enough to talk at a shared table. The drinks programme centres on beer brewed in-house, typically a light, a dark and a stronger mature beer, together with beer-based cocktails that suit visitors who want something different from a plain pint. A half-litre of house beer usually costs about €3.50-5, which is moderate by European capital standards and a little above what neighbourhood bars outside the Old Town charge. Food in the Lithuanian pub tradition, such as dark-bread snacks, fried bread with garlic and hearty meat dishes, is the usual accompaniment, and ordering food alongside beer is common practice. Opening hours generally run until midnight on most evenings, stretching to around 2:00 on Friday and Saturday, so weekends are noticeably busier and later than weeknights. There is no cover charge. Reservations are not normally needed on weeknights, though groups of six or more may want to reserve a table for Friday or Saturday evenings or during the summer tourist season, when the Old Town fills up. Bottle service is not part of the culture here; drinks are ordered at the table and paid for at the end of the visit, and tipping of roughly 5-10 percent is a courtesy rather than an obligation. The Totorių street location places the brewpub within a short walk of most central sights, making it a convenient first or last stop of an evening in Vilnius.
