It calls itself foleja e artistëve, the artists' nest, and the week is built around acts: a house band with guitars and drums early in the week, DJ sets and selected music on Fridays, karaoke nights, and dancing to Latin music.

The drinks are cocktails first, with the usual long list, but the point of the room is the stage rather than the glass, and it fills with a young Albanian crowd rather than visitors. For anyone who wants a Blloku night that moves rather than sits, it is the obvious pick on the street.
