Poloz Mukuch
Պոլոզ Մուկուչ
A legendary beerhouse housed in a 19th-century mansion in the old town, renovated into a restaurant-bar in 2023 while preserving Gyumri's humor culture.
Housed in a 19th-century tuff-stone mansion at 75 Jivani Street in the historic Kumayri district, this venue has been a beerhouse since the 1960s. It is named after the humorous Gyumri character Poloz Mukuch, whose bust stands at the entrance. It was renovated into a restaurant-bar in August 2023, serving Armenian and European dishes along with signature cocktails. A June 2026 review praised the freshly made khashlama (stewed meat), while other reviews mentioned qyala and spinach-and-cheese khinkali. TripAdvisor lists it as mid-range, and no exact average price per person was found. Within walking distance from the old town.
