Country: Bulgaria
Duration:
03:00 hours
Description
Started as a Sunday habit at Зимникъ — a different local musician each week, Bulgarian wine or craft beer, and a personal plate. 7 seats reserved, though the cellar holds more.
This started as a Sunday habit at Зимникъ — not because an ordinary evening needed fixing, but because we wanted one more way to connect: through music, shared stories, and a moment worth stopping for.
Cellar Sessions is that same evening, built for travelers. Each session brings a different musician or duo from Sofia's local scene — people who are part of Зимникъ's own cultural circle, not touring acts booked off a roster. One week it might be a piano-and-trumpet conversation that drifts from jazz to something unnamed, the next an accordion leading you through five countries you've never been to. Follow Зимникъ on Facebook (facebook.com/Zimnika) and Instagram (@zimnik_shop) to see who's performing before you book.
Seating is limited to 7, though the cellar itself holds more — the room is small and low-ceilinged, and the music carries outside too, so feel free to step out for air between sets and slip back in.
Your evening includes a glass of Bulgarian wine or craft beer and a personal plate — local cheese, cured meat, and marinated quail eggs in local spices. Two live sets, with a break in between, over roughly two hours.
Highlights
- A different local Sofia musician or duo performs live each week
- Includes Bulgarian wine or beer plus a personal cheese and meat plate
- Intimate cellar setting — just 7 reserved seats, though the room holds more
