About Old Tbilisi
The Spotlight on Old Tbilisi

Bold Georgian Flavors in the Heart of Greenwich Village

Old Tbilisi brings the rich, rustic charm of Georgian cuisine to lively Bleecker Street in New York City. Just a short walk from iconic music venues and the West Village nightlife, this laid-back spot offers an authentic taste of the Caucasus with dishes like khinkali dumplings, khachapuri cheese bread, and tender grilled meats. Warm lighting, exposed brick walls, and traditional music create an inviting atmosphere that feels both homey and celebratory—ideal for fueling up before a night of live music.

Why Concert-goers love it

With its convenient location just minutes from major music venues, Old Tbilisi is a smart pick for those looking to grab a flavorful meal without straying far from the show. The service is fast and friendly, making it easy to dine without stress before curtain time. The ambiance is lively but never too loud, letting you enjoy conversation without shouting over the table. Plus, many dishes are perfect for sharing, which makes it a hit with groups heading to a concert together.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to share hearty platters before the show
  • Solo travelers wanting to experience something unique and cozy
  • Couples planning a romantic, flavorful night out
  • Fans who want a festive, energetic meal before the music starts
  • Budget-conscious concert-goers seeking generous portions at fair prices

What People Say

Guests rave about the authentic Georgian flavors, especially the cheese-filled khachapuri and juicy dumplings.

Areas for Improvement

While most reviews are positive, a few guests noted that the space can feel a bit tight during peak hours—so reservations are a good idea if you're on a timeline. Others mentioned that service can be slightly slower when it’s very busy, but staff remain attentive and kind throughout.

The Bottom Line

Old Tbilisi is a flavorful, welcoming spot that hits all the right notes for concert-goers looking to enjoy a unique meal just steps from the action.
