Evening all! I'm a long standing viewer of the forum but never needed to register & post...until now.
I'm skiing Borovets for the second year with a group of 7, going out on feb 28th. The difference is, this year we've opted to stay at White Orchid Lodge, a villa on the outskirts of Samokov. Having never stayed outside Borovets before, I was wondering if there were any recommended/friendly/lively bars in Samokov?

re:Nights in Samokov
Lots of good restaurants in Samokov, try the Old House for typical traditional Bulgarian food, Target more English type food, Bonita for pizza and pasta and there are loads more and all really good value.
Several night clubs that I have heard are good
One is called Amnesia but I can't remember where it is.
You will have a great choice of good and cheap bulgarian restaurants. Old house is the best choice, even to visit Tschanovete and Tschatrata for bulgarian kitchen. Nightlife is not so busy as in Borovez.
best value meal in Samokov to my knowledge is the Kymaka but somebody else will need to spell it properly. You can have 3 courses and a drink for about £6.5 depending on the exchange rate and they will take a credit card which will help you get an even better exchange rate
I think its called Kaymakaynova Kushta, it;s opposite Target Restaurant and further up the street. Had a meal there last week and at Stara Kushta (old house) and have to say Kaymakaynova was better. Kas told me about it in last November. Cinema is also good for pizza (in the square with the ice rink).
The only lively bar i've notices is the one next to Bonitas, called ......... club (arrggh cant remenber) i had a few drinks in there last november, quite a young crowd but ...
Hi Emjay,
I think its called Kaymakaynova Kushta, it;s opposite Target Restaurant and further up the street. Had a meal there last week and at Stara Kushta (old house) and have to say Kaymakaynova was better. Kas told me about it in last November. Cinema is also good for pizza (in the square with the ice rink).
The only lively bar i've notices is the one next to Bonitas, called ......... club (arrggh cant remenber) i had a few drinks in there last november, quite a young crowd but seemed friendly.
Can't remember which night i was in which but did you have the happy waitress in Kaymakaynova (jeesus thats a mouthful), we left a canny tip and she still did'nt smile. !!!
There seemed to be only Bulgarians in when we were there. Wish i was back in Boro!!
I met J&N, Snowplough, D,but and Boon, Hello you lot. Looks like you are all still there!!
We had two waitresses, neither were there last year and neither of them smiled. There was a British group in when were there on the Sunday and some Brits walked in as we were just leaving when we were there on the Wed I think. Mon we went to Target, Tue was Bobby's Bar, Thurs was Nico's place and Friday was Bobby's again. I met and some forum members not for the 1st time, Paul and Trish, John, Cheryl and James, Duncan, Manc Tom, J&N, Gerry and Sandra although that's a cheat as we rent one of ...
