    Fantastic place with a charming, old-fashioned atmosphere. I don't drink, but my friends all loved their drinks, which included some unusual cocktails. We talked to the bartender for a while, who was very outgoing, interesting and kind.

    Super Avoid. This is not the Bunker1944 of the Lonely Planet or older Google reviews. I came in 2016 and it was a quirky place. Now (2023) it is a brightly lit pool den with no TV, no music and a couple of surprised looking locals in it. I suspect they don't realise the bar has a presence on Google at all.

  • 2/5 Harry L. 6 years ago on Google
    I had one poor experience, can't speak for everyone. I came here to meet a group of about 20 people. I wanted a sparkling water and they didn't have it. I don't drink alcohol and didn't want to create garbage by ordering something I wasn't going to drink, and was feeling sick in my stomach, so I said I didn't want anything. The waiter said it's not the kind of place you can just not order anything. I said, well, do you want me to leave? And he said yes. So I left. I felt like I was being made to feel like I was trying to rip off the bar, when all I wanted was to socialise with the group. If I were alone I could imagine that, but in a large group? It doesn't make any sense.

    Please note that this place has changed ownership and it is no longer as portrayed in the pictures or the description. It is now a very local run down โ€œbarโ€ with one pool table and no character.

    Very nice place, atmosphere is very positive and good services. The design is retro style and reminds you the time of communism in Albania. Prices are cheep and I suggest you the cocktails of the bar like, Bunker cocktail very good 1โƒฃ

    The worst place we visited in Tirana. First we were welcomed with open arms, given a free shot and a chat with the house parrot (yes, part of staff apparently), while seeing him pass droppings on the ground and the smell was rancid. Then the bill, no menu before (obviously our mistake): 570 LEK for an albanian beer! 2-3 times the price of a normal beer in the city. Facit: go anywhere else apart from this corrupt place.

    Many tourists go here. It smelled funny inside when I went. Itโ€™s a bit small inside. Iโ€™d like it more if there was more space.

    Very average tbh. Bar guys really nice but drinks pricey & 'bunker' experience really dull. Also doesn't get going until late (10pm) so don't bother getting there too early. Go for a drink with the staff and a chat rather than thinking your going to see a bunker because it isn't one!

    It was a Monday night so was fairly quiet... interesting decor. The biggest problem was the bar hadn't been restocked from the weekend and we had to pay western European prices for beer

  • 3/5 Arnis C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) In my opinion, the position of the drug is favorable but in relation to other aspects. The service in cases when I was a client left a lot to wish that for a bar should be the main point. (Original) Sipas opinioni tim , pozicioni i barit eshte i favorshem por ne lidhje me aspektet e tjera . Sherbimi ne rastet kur un kam qene klient klient linte shume per te deshiruar qe per nie bar duhet te jete pika kryesore .

    we went there to celebrate with the staff of the agency and found a warm environment and enjoyed the hospitality, karaoke and live music! The low prices allowed us to stay even longer in this fantastic environment! I suggest Bunker 1944, there is also a fantastic story there.... go go go
