Manu Kavinė
This bar has something for everybody: an extensive tea list; a wide selection of beer on tap, including Guinness; and an exceptionally priced menu with delights such as German sausages, and salmon wrapped in tin foil. It would be enough to stop there, but the amiable owner throws in complimentary internet access on two computers and - get this, sports fans - free darts and foosball in the backroom sports bar.

Brodvėjus
Every big city in Eastern Europe has one - a place where hordes of expats and pretty young things flock night after night to dance to 'I Will Survive', 'Mambo No 5' and the same tired-but-innocuous soundtrack until way past bedtime. Brodvėjus is a classic example of the genre.

Kavos Klubas
There's a definite bookish air to Coffee Club, a cosy winter hide-out in Old Town where fresh, aromatic coffee beans rule. Thirty-odd coffee types straddle the central bar and seating is around small tables that almost shout 'sit up straight, shoulders back'.

Onyx
A spiral staircase whirls trendy young punters up to mezzanine seating at this chic café with flat-screen TV and an overdose of steel. With no terrace to speak of, it's very much a winter hang-out.

Skonis ir Kvapas
Now this is how a café should look: original frescoes on the ceiling and walls, working fireplace and a worn wooden floor. Vilnius' best tea list comes presented on a mock hand fan.

Sole Luna
Students love the cheap food at this Italian-owned café near Vilnius University, but the main draw is the outdoor dining and weekend dancing in a 16th-century courtyard.

Black Cat Pub
