What makes Success Bar stand out

Success Bar is centrally located on Vashlovani Street, just a few steps from Rustaveli Avenue. The space is small and eclectically decorated, with bright colours, a disco ball and retro décor. After a break, the bar announced on Instagram that it is back at the same location, open Thursday to Sunday.

The programme is announced weekly on Instagram: karaoke on Thursdays, and at weekends performances by local drag artists, lip-sync battles and DJ sets. In Google reviews, guests particularly praise the personal, authentic drag shows.

Atmosphere and crowd

Success Bar is a safe space for Tbilisi’s queer community, and the crowd is correspondingly mixed: gay men, lesbians, trans and non-binary guests, mostly young and from the city, plus travellers. Because the space is small, it’s easy to strike up a conversation.

The context is sensitive: in 2024 Georgia passed a law that severely restricts LGBTQ rights. Be correspondingly careful on your way to the bar and home again.
