Most potent Rakia in Bansko?

Does anyone know of a few festive places to go in Bansko at night? Plus, are the hot springs facilities open late?
Kind Regards,

No name - underground and dedo pene - pub are my favourites in bansko.

re: Most potent Rakia in Bansko?

the places would be open as long as custom is going, I guess. Try the Sungurlarska rakia, or if you can't pronounce that, the Pomoriiska grozdova
or just ask for a good rakia. Don't forget to order Shopska Salata with it.

Thanks George!
you know, my wife is Bulgarian so we always go to parties and socials that have bottles of Muscat Grozden rakia from Sungurlare. That is the best brandy I ever had in my life!!! Strong Buzz. Zero Hangover the next day. Is this the same as Sungurlarska rakia??? If so, I'll more than likely bringing a case or two home coming back from vacation this Christmas!!! Well, that and the two liters my brother in law made this fall...lol!

well, my wife is English.
The Muskat is also very good, but I think a different brand from the same maker. Probably very similar. It looks like you are learning the local culture But you should be careful with crates of brandy over the border, I am afraid you can only bring 1 liter per person.

A new place called the Cave jusr by the Pirin hotel. Will be easily the best place to drink... then as someone said, I reckon No Name is the best club to go to after.
