Borovets being smaller than Bansko would lead many to suspect that the opportunities for you to "throw some shapes" may be slightly limited.
Not at all we declare!
The main difference between the Bansko and Borovets night life scene is really only scale as many visitors notice that most of the restaurants in the village finish their dinner service, clear the plates and then turn the music up.
Another nice aspect of Borovets is if you are not very keen on the music in one place, you only have to walk next door to find an alternative unlike Bansko where you often have to grab a cab unless you are willing to brave the night air for a walk of up to fifteen minutes between venues.
Below are some of the most notable night spots in resort.
Bonkers Nightclub in Borovets is one of the most popular night-spots in the resort. This year, under new ownership, it looks set to dominate with wild parties and entertainment that you may not be used too!
Check out English Ami upstairs, she runs the entertainment and sings like Aretha Franklin and Tomi the manager is a good kid with an excellent snowboard school.
The Happy Duck near Hotel Mura is a must for live music fans with live music every night and a DJ Party right afterwords to help you shake off any injuries picked up that day on the hill.
BJ's is right opposite the gondola and used to be Revolution.
Now it's a much better watering hole run by experts! They have excellent cocktails, good happy hour prices and a variety of "different" pub games to keep you amused. Check it out!
BJ's (previously the home of Revolution) has a great location right opposite the gondola station. They do a very good breakfast and have a varied menu with good selection of light bites for when you get off the hill.
The Black Tiger Karaoke Pub is a great place right on the slopes opposite the Rila Hotel.
It's been there for years which is why it is a perennial favourite of regular dinners in Borovets. Good fast food such as burger and pizzas during the day mean it is always busy at lunch time with skiers who are able to ski straight onto the sun deck at the back of the place before they catch the lift straight back up the hill.
