Tbilisi's pub crawl circuit is short enough to cover in a single night, which is both its charm and its problem. The city has two serious operators: one running Fridays and Saturdays out of Fabrika at 8 Ninoshvili Street, the other hitting Thursdays and Sundays from Old Wall Hostel on Tabidze Street. Between them they cover most of the week. Georgian craft beer runs to about 8 GEL a pint, so you can drink properly on a budget. The night tends to end at a club near Rustaveli Avenue around 1 am, which by Tbilisi standards is practically an early finish.
The Tbilisi Nightlife Scene
The Fabrika courtyard on Egnate Ninoshvili Street is Tbilisi's social hub for a younger crowd: outdoor container bars, a hostel, food stalls, and enough foot traffic to sustain the night until midnight before the clubs take over. Bassiani, below the Dinamo Arena on Akaki Tsereteli Avenue, is the serious club venue and runs Thursday to Sunday only. The wine bar scene on Aghmashenebeli Avenue is a separate circuit entirely.
What you'll pay
Georgia is one of the cheapest nightlife cities in Europe or Asia. Draft beer at Fabrika bars runs 5 to 7 GEL, roughly £1.50 to £2.10. Local wine by the glass is 6 to 10 GEL. Bassiani charges 40 GEL entry (about £11.50) on peak nights; once inside, drinks cost 8 to 15 GEL. A realistic evening from 9pm including Fabrika time and club entry totals 80 to 120 GEL, around £23 to £34. Prices verified April 2026.
Best nights to go
Friday. Bassiani is running at capacity, the Fabrika courtyard is full without being impossible to move through, and the late-night crowd arriving after midnight keeps the energy sustained. Saturday is equally full but skews to a younger Georgian crowd for whom Bassiani is a serious destination, not a hostel night out. Thursday is the pick if you want the club without the weekend door queue.

What You Will Pay
The two main crawls price at 35 GEL and 40 GEL respectively, roughly £10 to £11.50 at current rates. Both include free shots at every stop and a welcome drink. Bassiani, the techno institution set inside a drained Soviet swimming pool at 2 Akaki Tsereteli Avenue, charges 50 GEL entry and includes one drink. Hostel beds start at 3.37 EUR. A Georgian red at Arteria on Griboedov Street costs 8 GEL. The maths are straightforward: a full night out, including crawl ticket, a bar stop, and club entry, comes in under £30.
Best Night to Go
Friday. Both main operators run, Bassiani is at full capacity, and the Fabrika courtyard is crowded enough that finding a group to continue with afterwards takes about three minutes. Saturday is comparable. Thursday and Sunday are the fallback, with Irine's crawl running from Old Wall Hostel, smaller group, less noise, easier to have an actual conversation.

Upcoming events worth timing your trip around.
Bassiani's queue at midnight: half the city seems to know the dress code (all black, no excuses), even on a cold Tbilisi Saturday. Worth arriving before 11 pm.
