  2. 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.

  6. 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.
