Greetings from Lithuania, the country of twilight toasts and midnight parties!
The nation’s colourful soul emerges when the night falls and offers a wide range of night-long activities. Join us on an exploration of some of Lithuania’s top nightlife; each evening holds the promise of new stories and adventures. Tag us when we’re out and the drinks are on us!
Vilnius, the heart of Lithuania, beats double time after dark. The Old Town, a maze of history and culture, lights up with an eclectic mix of bars and pubs. Wander through Gediminas Avenue or the artsy Užupis district, each filled to the brim with their own character. Some people call Vilnius the new Berlin— perhaps without the pretentiousness or need to wear a gimp suit!
The three main streets to explore in Vilnius for a great night out are Vilniaus, Islandijos and Vokiečių. There you can find the full spectrum of places and spaces, ranging from exquisite fine dining, cocktail bars, pubs, clubs and even raves. With so many options, even the saddest of wall flowers can immerse themselves in culture and discover something new!
The adventurous younger sibling, Kaunas, has its own unique nightly adventures. It’s all about Liberty Avenue here. Lemmy’s Bar offers a plethora of local and international bands for fans of rock music, and Bardakas offers a totally distinctive nightlife experience. Craft beer is abundant and features regional brewers with a rich history and wide flavour profile.
Kaunas is smaller than Vilnius, but don’t make the mistake of passing it over in favour of it’s big brother, it has its own, unique charm that simply can’t be found anywhere else in the world. Take a gulp of craft beer and listen to some live jazz guitar or take a peek at its rebellious spirit with a wide range of underground sex clubs!
Klaipėda, with its maritime soul, offers a more relaxed, though equally satisfying night scene. The Old Town transforms into a hub of activity, with music spilling from every corner.
Hofas is a place where the alternative crowd meets, with local and international artists playing regularly. And if you’re looking for something calmer, there are loads of oldtown bars with amazing cocktails and craft beers. As the warmer months unfurl, Klaipėda’s coastal charm comes in to its own.
Beachside cafes are the perfect backdrop for sipping your favorite beverage. In Klaipėda, every evening is an invitation to unwind, connect, and immerse yourself in a night scene that’s as captivating as the city itself. Here’s to the Baltic Riviera!
Step outside of the city (and maybe comfit zone) and you’ll find Lithuania’s countryside to be stunning, charming and suitably rustic. Warm welcomes are extended at traditional pubs and taverns, frequently accompanied by the poignant strum of folk music.
The “Gubernija” brewery’s underground cellar in Šiauliai provides a unique experience for anyone looking for something unusual. You can find a local pub in almost every little town, and you never know – you might just find the most amazing people, in the most out of the way places.
There are tons of different craft beer breweries and vineyards, each offering something unique. Whatever you do though, try the local vodka and anything fruity thats been brewed over the winter months!
Whether its the calm beaches of Klaipėda or the rhythmic streets of Vilnius, every Lithuanian night is an invitation to adventure, and every adventure a story you’ll tell again and again.
So, grab your friends and plunge headlong in to the next deep dark night in stunning Lithuania – you wont regret it!
