The Pyramid of Tirana is a structure and former museum. It opened as a museum in 1988 and became a conference center in 1991 following the collapse of Communism. During the 1999 Kosovo War, the building was used as a NATO base. In 2018, a new project was unveiled that would turn the pyramid into a youth IT center for Creative Technologies with a focus on computer programming, robotics, and start-ups under the name of TUMO Center Tirana.

In the heart of Bllok area, there is a tiny corner called Tribeca. We’d say it’s a very international bar that offers fantastic cocktails at night and excellent coffee during the day. You can order a “Martini shaken, not stirred” there, and they will completely understand what you mean.

Tribeca remains a stylish place that gathers people together.

Fantastic disco bar that has parties on the weekends featuring the greatest musical hits from all periods, as well as live music acts. You can also find superb meals and amazing cocktails.

With a nice terrace on the street corner, Izzy is a place where people come on the weekend for some fun and a good choice of drinks. The evenings are encompassed by music and DJ sets.

This excellent hangout is incredibly preferred, it has modern furnishings and a feeling that is more European than Albanian.

Colonial is probably the most intriguing cocktail bar with over 1200 different bottles and an infinite variety of cocktails. Its warm, inviting ambiance draws influence from Asian culture and it is the perfect setting for enjoying a peaceful evening.

Live music is also present, as well as an indoor garden.
