Borovets is a great resort for intermediate skiers with a short quick transfer from Sofia. We stayed in apartments at Pine Ridge, Madjare. It's in an inexpensive and pretty village near Borovets and is much cheaper than the on piste bars in Borovets.
This is a Mexican themed bar and restaurant in the heart of Borovets. The food is great and quite reasonably priced, but the main reason to visit is the atmosphere. The live band, who are known as Sound Forge, are superb. They cover old rock (think Hendrix, Led Zep, Black Sabbath) as well as some more up to date stuff like Oasis and Green Day. The bar staff are also fantastic - the last time I went I ended up behind the bar learning to mix cocktails. Any trip to Borovets must include a drink (or several) here.
