If you want to experience traditional, delicious, Georgian meals then you should definitely head to Barbarestan (family restaurant). They make excellent dishes and have a wonderful selection of wines. Live retro Georgian music on Saturday nights from 20:00 to 22:00. You should call ahead of time to reserve a table as it is almost always full but you can also try your luck by just dropping by.

"Founded in August 2014 Bassiani marked the beginning of a completely different attitude towards nightlife in Tbilisi. The club is located in the basement of Dinamo Stadium, is spacious but somewhat sombre, and strictly forbids flash photography. It's the first venue in Tbilisi that regularly invites acclaimed techno musicians from around the world, and while Bassiani doesn't have regular opening hours (that would be just too mainstream) it usually announces upcoming events (on its website) well in advance. Admission varies from event to event. To be able to purchase tickets on presale it's necessary to first register."

"Mtkvarze – which means on the river Mtkvari - is located in the building of a former fish restaurant, quite famous in the town during the 1950s. Just two months after opening it won Best Venue at the Georgian electronic music awards. Mtkvarze usually operates with two rooms. The bigger one is oval shaped and its windows from floor to ceiling overlook the river running under. Mostly local DJs play here - mainly techno or house - every weekend. Mtkvatze is a little away from the centre but very easy to reach by taxi, and worth the trip.OpenFri, Sat 23:00 - 10:00."

"Also called the Mother Fortress of Tbilisi, Narikala is an ancient symbol of Tbilisi’s defence. The fortress was established in the 4th century, around the period when the city itself was founded. It was then known as Shuris-tsikhe (Invidious Fort). The name Narikala is said to derive from a Persian word for citadel, but another theory says was the name that Mongols used, meaning “little fortress”. It was expanded considerably by the Arabs during the 7th and 8th centuries. The Arabs built the Emir’s palace within its walls. King David further extended the Builder the fortress in th 11th century."
