Budget & Tips

The nightlife in Tbilisi is hectic, ultradynamic, bubbling, vibrant! It caters to all kinds of audiences with a very wide range of bars, wine bars, concerts, operas and nightclubs at unbeatable prices. Tbilisi is constantly reinventing itself, and some of its clubs attract the best DJs in the world. Night owls, you'll have plenty to choose from without breaking the bank. Music festivals, especially in the summer, attract crowds. Batumi, on the Black Sea coast, in terms of nightlife, competes with Tbilisi in terms of its summer festivals, which are well worth their success. It rightly attracts a very cosmopolitan crowd. The easiest way to pay is in lari, cash in clubs and bars.

Tipping in restaurants is not customary in Georgia, so it is not mandatory. It is at the discretion of the customer. You can add 5-10% of the total amount of the bill in cafes and restaurants. The service tax displayed in some restaurants amounting to 20% of the total amount of the bill does not always go to the waiter's pocket..

What's very local

Modest dress is advised, the Georgian society is conservative. When visiting religious sites, avoid shorts or sleeveless T-shirts - men and women included. Women in trousers should nevertheless cover their trousers with a cloth, often provided at the entrance to the church, as well as their shoulders and hair.

Smokers

Smoking could almost be compared to a national sport in Georgia. Smoking is rooted in the local culture. Despite pressure from associations on the government, no law has yet been passed banning smoking in public places. It is even said that Tbilisi is choking on yellow cigarette smoke, and 20% of smokers in Georgia suffer from chronic lung disease. Cigarettes in Georgia still have a bright future ahead of them.
