It's nearing midnight or maybe even later than that; where should you go? Simona would be one of my top recommendations.
Located right in the center of the city, next to the famous Dargett brewery, Simona is an awesome late-night hangout. The bar has a great ambiance - kind of speakeasy, kind of bordello, dim, and vintage. The bartenders are friendly and experienced. Although personally a whisky fan, try out some of their cocktails, which are some of the best around Yerevan. The music playing in the background or being spun by the DJs adds to the bar's already great vibe.
So go give it a shot, pick up a drink, and enjoy. Kenats and cheers!
P.S. Occasionally, one can catch a show here. They also serve food, such as burgers and tapas.
