It's been nearly twenty years since Tom Cruise flipped bottles around a Manhattan bar with face-slapping smugness in Cocktail. And his character was too busy knocking up waitresses and shouting at craggy Australians to teach us anything useful about making a perfectly-mixed tipple - leaving us on the eternal hunt for the best cocktail bars in the world.

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.
