Great experience - What an experience.... we were 4 and we all loved it!! We really did a good choice by going for the 6 course meal and wine pairing... all the wines were really good and the food delicious. Presentation was also really nice plus attention to detail...and loads of attention by our private waiter!!!
Would do it again!!!
And really worth the money and make sure you dont eat anything before as there's plenty of food!!!

Fabulous Wine Tasting and Full Dinner - I was traveling solo, and this is a great idea to be able to pick your own time and have a private dinner. Great wines and a ton of food…come hungry, and then come back and dine again!

Wine and dine with friends and family🍷 - DropStop is definitely my new favorite dine out place in Skopje for 2025😁
I went there both in January and February, and will probably come back again when I'm in Skopje next time.
The first time was a dinner in couples, when we enjoyed a 4 course dinner with tasty dishes🧆️ paired with a carefully selected wines of small family wineries🍷Warm atmosphere, amazing artwork and excellent service🙌
I also celebrated my bday with my closesest friends and we enjoyed catching up with meze, salads and selection of cheese and meat with wine.
I would warmly recommend it for a chill dinner with friends, family gatherings and special occasions.
And yes, kudos for the decison to be a totally non-smoking area, since no smoke in restaurants should be a rule, and not an exception☺👏
But, this should not be a setback for those who like to 🚬 as it seems like they are preparing their outdoor terace.
Friendly tip - Please direct the lights to the paintings, so they don't flash out that much to the tables😋
Best to the whole team and cheers🍷

A Must-Visit Wine Bar in the Heart of Skopje - This little wine bar is a hidden gem in the heart of Skopje! If you’re looking for a cozy spot to enjoy amazing local wines and meet ultra-local people, this is the place to be. The selection of Macedonian wines is top-notch, and the owner is incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, always happy to recommend the perfect wine for your taste.
The food is just as impressive—I absolutely fell in love with their ribeye burger! Everything is fresh, flavorful, and pairs beautifully with the wines on offer.
It’s also a fantastic spot for remote workers during the day, offering a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere to work while enjoying great coffee, food, and, of course, excellent wine when it's time to unwind.
Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just looking for a laid-back yet authentic experience, I highly recommend this spot. A must-visit when in Skopje! 🍷✨
