Lucky Lounge Bar Tirana

locals' coffee shop and bar

Emma from Tirana

I'm a half-Albanian, half-English girl living in Tirana, a city I have been passionate about for years and years. I love walking around the city, finding new spots to hide away in with a good book, or stopping at one of the many eateries with good food and cocktails. Why Tirana? | Tirana is a bustling hub of activity where you'd be hard-pressed to get bored. They call New York the cit...

"A locals bar is always worth it in my eyes, as you never know who you’ll meet!"

Lucky Lounge Bar has a really cute small-town feel to it; you’ll often find groups of guys chatting over a coffee first thing in the morning or over a beer and some snacks as the day goes on. It is clear that it has become a real local haven in recent months. Unlike a lot of Tirana, as Lucky Lounge is situated just outside of the main tourist area in ‘Selvia’, it definitely has a quieter vibe and feels like a locals' bar. However, this is not to say that tourists would not be made to feel very welcome; the bar is run by friends who make sure that everyone feels at home.

The bar is very spacious, and the décor is clean and modern, making it a very inviting place to spend a couple of hours, if you’re visiting around the time of any international sporting events, they will arrange the furniture around the screens so that everyone can get a good view.

Every experience I have had at Lucky Lounge has been lovely, and I would really recommend for the visitors to Tirana to just walk that extra five minutes out of the centre past Pazari I Ri to experience some of the other parts of the city. A locals bar is always worth it in my eyes, as you never know who you’ll meet!

Gelato la Nocciola

Italian Ice Cream Parlour

"Gelato la Nocciola" is an ice cream shop I really like in Tirana. They use the typical Italian methods to create their flavors. It's really worth it!
