Welcome to BUL BAR

BUL BAR is a cocktail and rooftop music bar in the heart of Almaty — at the intersection of Kurmangazy and Kulyash Baiseitova, two streets named after legendary Kazakh musicians.

In Kazakh, BUL BUL means “nightingale” — a singing bird known for its pure tone and soulful rhythm. That same spirit lives here, on our rooftop with our own vinyl collection, in Almaty’s Golden Square.

Recognized by Tatler Kazakhstan as one of Kazakhstan’s Top 20 Bars.

Drinks

Rooftop Cocktails & Music

Our cocktail menu is built like a playlist — each drink named after a genre of music that defines the soul of the bar: Jazz, Funk, Bossa Nova, City Pop, and more. Every cocktail tells a story, inspired by rhythm, mood, and movement.
