Nightlife

It would take me forever to detail what we do after our scheduled activities in the evenings.  What I can say is that the Nightlife in Yerevan is tireless.  Tireless and diverse.  Clubs, Discoclubs, Rock Clubs, Night Clubs (we stay away from those...), Bars, Kareoke Bars, The Republic Square, Cafes, Jazz Cafes... There is always something to do.  People are out until odd hours dancing, lounging, singing, and having a fabulous time.  I should also note that Armenians keep it classy.  You don't see people intoxicated or incoherent anywhere.  Interestingly enough, it is legal to cruise around from club to club beer in hand...or even shot glass in hand.  

Of the many places we have gone, I have enjoyed the Beatles Bar and Cafe Rich the most.  The cafes here are unlike the cafes we have back in the states.  In the heart of Yerevan, there is a row of cafes and each one has a different ambience.  They are set up with luxurious patio furniture outside where groups of friends can sit around and have drinks or smoke hookah.  You can choose the environment you prefer because your options are really unlimited.  Thus far, we have gone to the Grammy Cafe, Kotayk Cafe, Jezzve Cafe, and Cafe Rich.  The hospitality at Cafe Rich was great so it's my favorite as of now.  I have yet to go to the Glamour Cafe so we'll see how long that will last...

We went to the Beatles Bar last night and I loved it.  The whole place was decorated with photographs and albums of the Beatles and they played their music all night.  Thanks to Robert, I learned a lot about the band.  We will definitely be going back.  I met this awesome graduate of Julliard who is in Armenia for six months building nightclubs and exploring just like CYMA.  It turns out he will be playing jazz there later this week, so we are all excited to go see him.   Plus indie fersherrr.

I would love to detail the other cafes, restuarants, and clubs we have been to but to be honest, I'd much rather go and further explore the city with my CYMA family.

sorryboutit.

 

In short, everything is awesome and I wish you all were here to experience it.
