About Nouvelle Vague
Nouvelle Vague is a stylish bar in the heart of Blloku, on Rruga Pjetër Bogdani, often mentioned as one of the city’s stronger choices for mixology. The bartenders take cocktails seriously: try one made with raki or an Albanian herb liqueur before dinner, or settle in late into the evening. The room is small and dimly lit, with a French new-wave theme. It gets very busy at weekends, so go early or be ready to stand at the bar. Prices are typical of Blloku.
