Bar Torra
Housed inside a fortified Venetian tower at the beginning of the city walls, this was one of the first private cafes in Albania, opened by a team of local artists. After you've had a peek at the tourist information section inside, and at the view from the top, you can drink a local brew in the cosy barred nooks of the old tower. The ceiling is strangely reminiscent of Hoxha's bunkers.

Sky Club Panoramic Bar & Restaurant
It may seem wrong to make a bar your first stop in Tirana, but a visit to this rotating tower is the best way to orient yourself, offering spectacular views over the entire city. Not recommended for a night on the turps - the rotation is a bit jerky and may leave you slightly seasick.

Academy of Arts
Classical music and other performances take place throughout the year in either the large indoor theatre or the small open-air faux-classical amphitheatre; both are part of the university. Prices vary according to the programme.

The Living Room
This is the hippest place to drink and dance in Tirana - with eclectic DJs, a good crowd, cool lampshades and '70s sofas for you to lounge on when you're danced (or drunk) off your feet.

Buda-Bar
This place has subdued lighting, with the supreme being smiling serenely over the super-groovy crowd.
