The bar at Зимникъ — beer taps and shelves of Bulgarian wine

About Зимникъ

A cellar with character, hidden in the heart of the city

Зимникъ is a place for Bulgarian wine, craft beer, cheese, cured meats and people. We pick wines from small and established Bulgarian wineries, work with local producers, and pour beer from Bulgarian craft breweries. Everything on the shelf and on the table is here because we like it, and because we believe it deserves to be shared.

But Зимникъ is more than what you drink and eat. This is where flavors, people, music and stories meet. We host tastings, concerts and evenings where one glass often leads to another — and the conversation to the next one.

We like the idea that good wine and good beer are an occasion. An occasion to meet someone, discover a new flavor, hear some music, or simply stay a little longer.

The space is old.

Зимникъ's story is only just beginning.

Upcoming event

Club of the (Anonymous) Honeyholics

The Honeyholics are meeting again. Step one is admitting you have a problem. Step two is a spoon. Four honeys are on the table this time: ailanthus, chestnut, strawberry tree and leatherwood. Four different trees, one shared sin – the bees. Over about an hour our honey sommelier will walk us through the samples – aroma, taste and profile of each honey. Then we compare, analyse and, most importantly, enjoy. Tuesday, 27 October, 6 PM (about one hour) Format: up to 10 people, pre-registration required Fee: €10 Registration: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe8FwStNkHP9Hwc-OypEHga12Ut9eiynhNW79D0shP3_DJ3nA/viewform Requirement: bring 1 jar of honey (min. 200 ml) – one of the four on the table: ailanthus, chestnut, strawberry tree or leatherwood Hosts: Biljana Lowndes-Nikolova – beekeeper, technologist and certified honey sommelier (Italy). She works on innovative honey-based foods and promotes honey as a modern superfood. Irina Ivanova – beekeeper, pastry chef, aromatherapist and wine expert. She has run honey tastings in Sofia since 2018 and teaches how to pair honey with food and drinks. See you there. Bring a jar. Bring your curiosity.
