Calumet Yerevan

No longer smoky, still as colorful

"Calumet is THE place in Yerevan for eclectic live music, freedom, and multicultural vibes, great pizza, cool crowd! Definitely worth a visit!"

Calumet is THE place for good music, which is normally a mix of ethnic style with any other style (sometimes there are exceptions, though).

Calumet is also the right place for anyone willing to feel freedom for a few hours at least. Here, the atmosphere is always a mix of foreigners and locals drinking, smoking, and having fun. I enjoy attending concerts at Calumet. Here, both famous as well as new groups play good music. Here, multiculturalism is everywhere, which is what I mostly love about this place. Every person in Yerevan at least once in their life should go to Calumet and enjoy the party till the end. It is worth it. Tips: The pizza and potatoes are great here. There's face control, though it's mostly a matter of manners.

Calumet was also known for being a very smoky place, but with laws now prohibiting smoking inside, it's a great place to enjoy a good time.
