"A local and international favorite to this day, Radio appeared out of the blue a decade ago to usher in a new era for Tirana’s nightlife.
Using the classic typewriter Olympia situated at the entrance of Radio Bar, one of its many regular customers has typed out “Veni, vidi, vici.” A fitting message in the case of this hyper-popular bar, one which has been highly significant in the history of Tirana’s nightlife. So significant, in fact, that it is hard to say whether there was a nightlife before Radio.
Radio opened its doors a decade ago in the heart of the popular Blloku quarter. The three pillars on which the bar was founded turned out to make all the difference. Quality music, an authentic atmosphere, and great drinks. “I could tell people wanted something better as, in those times, all you could drink in Tirana’s bars was either straight liquor or a vodka red bull. There was an obvious lack of creativity,” – says Redi Panariti, the owner of the bar, and one of the most famous barmen in the capital.
Radio was conceptualized as a truly original space. A place that had flair and a vibrant and colorful atmosphere which reminded people of their kindergarten days and pulled them right out of the gloomy Tirana of the time. A place that had a cocktail for each and every person who entered its doors, where even the most undecided or inexperienced drinkers could find something they liked."

"One of the greatest cocktail bars in Tirana is Radio Bar, which has a retro aesthetic, distinctive furniture, and ancient radios strewn all around.
The décor includes vintage photographs and movie posters that are displayed on the walls, along with furniture from the communist era. Constantly in high demand."
