About Radio Bar
Radio Bar has been delighting Tirana’s alternative crowd with music, beer and cocktails since 2009, and it remains one of Blloku’s much-loved bars. The front room is full of vintage radios, old photographs of film stars and magazines; at the back, a semi-open terrace and garden fill up on summer evenings. The cocktail list is good and the music well chosen, usually from vinyl. It is relaxed early in the evening and busy later. Find it on Rruga Ismail Qemali, close to Hoxha’s former villa.
