What Baasi Is
Baasi Wine Bar & Shop opened in 2026 at 13 Bolo Aghmarti, the climbing street at the far end of Sololaki. The room runs at warehouse scale, rare for a neighborhood built of small parlors.
Wander-Lush added it to its 26 best bars in Tbilisi list within months of opening. The pitch is Georgian wine by the glass, a cocktail list beside it, and a kitchen that goes past snacks.
Reading the Room
Antique furniture under soft lamps, arranged into corners rather than rows. Wander-Lush describes it working two ways: a quiet midweek glass, or a loud Friday when the small indoor stage takes over.
The scale is the surprise. Sololaki bars usually squeeze into former apartments; Baasi has room for a stage, a shop wall, and corners that ignore each other.
The shop half means the bottle you liked goes home with you.
What to Order
Inside Baasi
Who Shows Up, and When
Sololaki locals early, a younger music crowd late on weekends. Friday and Saturday nights revolve around the stage; midweek belongs to conversation.
It is a new room finding its regulars, which means seats still exist at hours the established bars cannot offer.
What Early Visitors Say
- Wander-Lush calls the space one of the most flexible new rooms in the city, equally right for a quiet glass or a live set.
- Early Instagram coverage centers on the warehouse interior and the antique furniture, which photographs like a set.
- The practical note: the walk up Bolo Aghmarti is steep. Budget ten minutes from Freedom Square and wear real shoes.
Who It Is For
- A date night that wants wine, food, and music in one address instead of three.
- Drinkers working through Georgian wine regions who want a shop attached to the bar.
- Avoid if you want a quick standing glass near the center. The climb and the scale make this a destination, not a stopover.
Before You Go
Bolo Aghmarti climbs from upper Sololaki toward the fortress ridge. Freedom Square metro is the closest stop, about ten minutes on foot.
