The place is beautiful, with lots of thoughtful details that make it special. However, the experience was not entirely pleasant. The person at the entrance was quite rude; we visited the restaurant on Saturday, October 12, 2024, and frankly, someone with such bad manners shouldn't be the first impression a customer gets at a place that puts so much effort into its appearance.

When we asked for the bill, it was presented in a confusing way: part printed and part handwritten, which seemed suspicious. Upon reviewing it, we noticed we were being overcharged and had to complain. This left a bad impression regarding the transparency of the service.

As for the food and drinks, the cocktails were the highlight of the night. We had four, and one of them, which is supposedly in the "top 5," was really excellent. However, the charcuterie and cheese board was very disappointing, with low-quality products, and the eggplant dish was just average.

Something else that caught my attention was the responses to reviews. Many of them have an unprofessional tone, and it seems like the manager doesn't handle criticism well, even if it's constructive. That attitude says a lot about the management of the place and, in my opinion, is quite off-putting.

Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, wide selection of drinks. We enjoyed here the start of Saturday night. Some remarks: italian meals in menu, one restroom cabin for men, one for women. Beer only in bottles, 3 types, wine selection also rather very limited. The place is focusing on cocktails, drinks, and shots. For non smokers, it is more convenient to stay inside. All in all, we enjoyed our visit. Recommended.

Wow, experience in Tirana city! Amazing cocktails at a great price with good service. We arrived here after walking thru the city on a hot hot day, and Colonial totally stood up to all the hype. We had rum, vodka, and gin based cocktails. Everything was great. The bar ambience made it memorable.
