3 reviewed party hostels · from €3.37/night · Hostelworld rated
Tbilisi’s nightlife starts late and keeps going until the small hours, especially around the streets behind Rustaveli Avenue. Bassiani, a club set in a Soviet swimming pool, draws crowds with its techno beats and underground vibe, while smaller bars like Arteria pack out for live jazz from 10 pm. The hostel scene is compact but lively: most places cluster near Freedom Square or inside the repurposed Soviet factory that is now Fabrika. Here, backpackers spill out of hostel bars into courtyard hangouts, making it easy to find a group for the night ahead. A pint of local craft beer costs around 8 GEL (£2.30), so the budget stretches further than in most European capitals.

How Tbilisi's nightlife zones break down
A converted Soviet factory turned backpacker hub. The courtyard is lined with bars, cafes, and street art, and the hostels here are the most social in the city. It’s a 15-minute walk from Rustaveli Avenue, but the nightlife starts right outside your door.
The main drag, where grand 19th-century buildings house clubs, jazz bars, and late-night khinkali spots. Bassiani is a 10-minute walk away, and most pub crawls start here. The area is busy until 4 am on weekends.
A quieter, local neighbourhood just across the river. Small wine bars and family-run restaurants dominate, but the occasional underground club pops up. It’s a 20-minute walk from Fabrika, but the wine is cheaper and the crowds thinner.
Where the hostel pub crawls end up, and where to go on your own
A techno institution inside a drained Soviet swimming pool. The sound system is punishing, the crowd is international, and the door policy is strict: dress dark, arrive early on weekends. Entry is 50 GEL, which includes one drink. Expect to stay until 6 am.
Intimate jazz bar with live sets every night from 10 pm. Monday’s jam session is the best free show in town. A glass of Georgian red costs 8 GEL, and the crowd is a mix of backpackers and local musicians. Gets packed by 11 pm.
A cluster of bars inside a converted Soviet sewing factory. Start at the hostel bar, then wander between outdoor tables selling craft beer and cheap cocktails. Happy hour runs 6–8 pm, with pints for 7 GEL. The crowd is young and international.
Upscale cocktail bar with chandeliers and a dress code. Cocktails cost 25–35 GEL, but the two-for-one happy hour (8–10 pm) is a steal. The crowd is older and well-heeled: great for a classier start to the night. Live DJs spin house and disco after 11 pm.
Cosy basement club with nightly jazz and blues. Entry is 10 GEL, which includes a drink. The crowd is mostly locals, and the vibe is relaxed: perfect for a quieter night. Open until 2 am on weekends.
A guided bar-hop around four venues, starting at a hostel bar and ending at a club. Includes free shots, drink discounts, and games. Meet at 9 pm outside Fabrika hostel. Tickets cost 40 GEL, available online or at most hostel receptions.
A local favourite with a more intimate group. Visits three bars and a club, with a free shot at each stop. The crawl starts at 9:30 pm outside Old Wall Hostel. Tickets are 35 GEL, and the crowd is mostly backpackers in their 20s.
