15 editor picks in Vilnius.
Vilnius drinks in two registers: craft cocktails and the city's strong beer-bar tradition. In the Old Town, Cocktail Bar Alchemikas, Apoteka and Nisha Craft Capital handle the mixed-drinks side, while Užupis keeps it looser at Špunka and the literary Bar Bukowski. Šnekutis, with rooms on Šv. Mikalojaus and Šv. Stepono, anchors the beer-led end of the same scene.
