Beer Academy Ethnograph — Local services in Yerevan

I love this place and would recommend to anyone, even if you’re not a beer drinker. There’s indoor seating as well as a covered courtyard area and a handful of outdoor tables. The atmosphere is brilliant wherever you’re sitting, and with the tech house music I particularly enjoyed the indoor bar area on a Sunday evening.

The drinks are varied with a full bar, and their unique beer offerings are served in a variety of sizes, including extra large dispensers with tap, so this is a brilliant option if you’re in a group. I’d recommend the ginger infused beer for something more unique! The food menu is extensive and comes with plenty of photos which aids the decision making. Again, lots of large sharing plates for groups too. I tried two of the ‘pan’ dishes, one with pork fillet which was truly amazing and the seafood, which although had good flavours wasn’t as impressive. Portion size was great though! The sausage platters are also large and there’s a nice range of different meats available - go easy with the mustard though since it’s very strong!

The only downside I’d say would be with the proactivity of some of the staff. I’ve never seen so many people working in one place, but often it took quite a while to get additional drinks or the bill. Otherwise it’s superb though, hence visiting multiple times during my stay in the city, and I’d...

We had an amazing evening at this lovely open-air spot—everything about the experience was just perfect! The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere made it even better. We were welcomed with friendly smiles, seated comfortably, and immediately felt relaxed with the great music playing in the background. It set the perfect vibe for a chill evening.

One of the highlights was how baby-friendly the place is. They had a clean and sturdy baby chair ready for us, and the staff was incredibly accommodating, giving us space and checking in to make sure we were comfortable. It’s always a bonus when you find a place that’s not just adult-friendly but also thoughtful for families with little ones.

Now, the food—wow! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor, but the garlic bread truly stole the show. It was perfectly toasted, buttery, and packed with rich garlicky goodness—honestly, it’s to die for! You could go there just for that alone. Everything else we had was also top-notch, fresh, and beautifully presented.

The open-to-sky setting made the evening magical, especially as the sun set and the lights came on. It’s definitely one of the best spots to unwind after a long day. We had an absolute blast and will definitely be...

I used to love this place. As a regular visitor to Yerevan—where I spend two months each year—this restaurant had long been a favorite of mine. However, in recent visits with my family and relatives, we've noticed a decline in both service and food quality. It's no longer what it used to be.

Last night, we experienced something particularly disappointing: one of the guests seated at the corner table (where the live music usually takes place) was smoking indoors. I recorded a video and showed it to the manager, who, to my surprise, reacted indifferently. He did not take any immediate action—not until the guest lit a second (or possibly third or fourth) cigarette. Only then did he approach the table and say something, though by that point the guests were already preparing to leave.

It's truly unfortunate, especially since I used to enjoy this place so much. Now, regrettably, I’ll have to look for alternatives for my...
