Updated: May 10

My first visit to Nouvelle Vague in Tirana wasn't your average bar experience. It coincided with their aMUSEus event, a celebration of women in the bar industry. Witnessing these talented bartenders, from the prestigious World's 50 Best Bars, create their signature cocktails was truly inspiring.

Their laboratory allows their skilled bartenders to experiment with flavors and push the boundaries of cocktail creation. This innovative spirit makes them the best cocktail bar in Tirana and a must-visit for any cocktail enthusiast in Tirana.

My visit included a delicious exploration of their signature creations:

  • Black Sabah: An enigmatic and captivating concoction, sure to tantalize your taste buds.

  • Nou Whey: Is an effervescent delight with a hint of floral charm

  • Drunk Bee: A touch of sweetness balanced with a delightful buzz

  • The Miller: A robust and satisfying drink, perfect for those who appreciate bolder flavors.

As a cocktail connoisseur, I always hit the ground running when it comes to exploring a new city's bar scene searching for the best cocktail bar. The Top 50 Best Bars list serves as a great starting point, but I also love uncovering hidden gems along the way. (Hint, hint) 50 Best Bars, maybe a Taste Hunter is in the making?

Nouvelle Vague clearly knows how to curate a happening scene. We attended another event featuring a guest takeover by the #10 bar of the 50BestBars list, Himkok from Oslo. Their four signature cocktails were such a hit that the event sold out within an hour!
