Practical information : Take a break Uzbekistan
Timetable
Most tea houses close quite early in the evening, and very rarely after 10pm. Green tea, black tea or Uzbek tea flavored with various flowers and herbs is excellent. You'll find them at bazaar stalls.
Coffee shops and kiosks can be found in every tourist town: they are open from sunrise to sunset, depending on the season.
Bar-restaurants fill their menus with alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails (very aromatic with freshly squeezed fruit juices and very little sugar - a treat!), glasses of wine, vodka, or a selection of beers, some of which are Uzbek.
Budget & Tips
While credit cards are accepted in tourist areas, cash is still the rule. It's best to pay in soum.
Age restrictions
Alcohol consumption is reserved for adults.
What's very local
A cup of black or green tea, a tangy sweet or slice of alva and a game of backgammon on a takhtan are the most local way to take a break!
Smokers
Chaikhanas are often open-air and allow smoking. Smoking is prohibited indoors.
