"From the moment I walked in I was made to feel very welcome. The staff were really attentive. They have an excellent range of cocktails made by the very charming mixologist. The magician performed a range of card magic — I was blown away. Just when you think you've worked it out... you've got it wrong. The audience were thoroughly enjoying it. This place is definitely worth a visit if you are in Sofia."

There is nowhere else like it in the Balkans. Magic Bar is a small, deliberately intimate venue in the heart of Sofia — part cocktail bar, part close-up magic theatre — where professional magicians perform card magic, mentalism, and sleight of hand while you sit close enough to watch every movement and still not understand how it is done. Rated #1 Nightlife in Sofia on TripAdvisor with a perfect 5.0 score across 89 reviews. Open Thursday through Saturday from 17:00.

🎩 Close-Up Magic — The Real Thing

Magic Bar is not a dinner-show theatre with a stage at the other end of the room. It is a small, deliberately intimate space where the performer stands directly in front of you — cards, coins, and objects passing through, appearing, and vanishing at a distance of centimetres. The magicians rotate each show, bringing different styles: card magic, mentalism, prop magic, mind-reading. Every show is different. Multiple guests describe returning several times and always seeing something new.

🍸 The Cocktails Are Part of the Show

The bartenders are magicians themselves. The cocktail menu features award-winning original recipes — the bar’s “Alchemist” crafts drinks to your taste and will create something specific to what you describe. On the Thursday free nights, the atmosphere is more relaxed: casual magic performances at the bar, conversation with the team, and cocktails without a show ticket. It is also the best evening to visit if you want to get a feel for the place before booking a Friday or Saturday show.

🎉 Private Events & Birthday Parties

The intimate size of Magic Bar makes it ideal for private celebrations. Multiple reviewers have celebrated birthdays here with dedicated magic sets performed for their group. The bar can also be booked for corporate events. Message us to discuss options — we will coordinate directly with the Magic Bar team.

Do I need a show ticket to visit?
No — Thursday is free entry with casual magic at the bar. Friday and Saturday shows have a ticket price (25 BGN at the door, 22 BGN in advance for the Bulgarian show). Book through SoFun for your reservation.
Is the Friday show in English?
Yes — every Friday at 8 PM the show is performed entirely in English, specifically for international visitors. The Saturday show is in Bulgarian.
How does the SoFun discount work?
Show your SoFun digital card before getting the bill. The bartender scans your QR code and applies 10% off all drinks for your entire group. The discount does not apply to show tickets.
Can I book a private event?
Yes — the bar is available for private bookings for birthdays, group events, and corporate evenings. Message us and we will coordinate everything with the Magic Bar team.
Is it worth going just for cocktails without a show?
Absolutely. Several reviewers mention that even on non-show visits, the bartenders — who are magicians themselves — perform close-up magic at the bar. Thursday is the best evening for this.

Your Evening at Magic Bar

1

Arrive & Find Your Seat

The bar is on Tsar Asen Street, close to Vitosha Blvd and the city center. It is small — get there early on show nights. The atmosphere pulls you in from the moment you walk through the door.

2

Order Your First Cocktail

Tell the Alchemist what you like and let them create something for you. Show your SoFun Card before ordering and the 10% discount applies to everything your group drinks for the evening.

3

✨ The Show Begins

The magician takes the small stage — or comes directly to your table. Cards, coins, objects, and minds. Everything happens within arm’s reach. You will try to work out how it is done. You will fail. You will love it.

4

After the Show

The magicians stay at the bar after the show. You can talk to them, ask questions, and sometimes see more. Multiple reviewers say this post-show conversation is their favourite part of the evening.
