Pool Bar — Bar at Tsinandali Estate, A Radisson Collection Hotel, Kakheti

In short

Pool Bar is the rooftop bar and casual daytime spot at Tsinandali Estate, A Radisson Collection Hotel, in the village of Tsinandali, Kakheti. According to its official page, it serves cocktails, healthy smoothies, and light, grilled food to guests relaxing at the swimming pool, with views over the estate’s surrounding landscape from the roof.

It suits hotel guests who want a relaxed lunch or drink by the pool rather than a formal dining experience, as well as anyone staying at Tsinandali Estate who wants a break between visiting the museum, gardens, and wine cellar. The best time to go, per the stated hours, is any point in the day between 10:00 and 19:00, when the terrace and pool are open.

The concept, the chef and the room

The official page describes Pool Bar simply as a rooftop venue where guests “get refreshed with cocktails or healthy smoothie and taste light and grilled food” while at the swimming pool. No chef or culinary team is named on the page, and no specific design details, interior style, floor plan, or seating capacity are given. The venue sits on a rooftop, with the swimming pool as its anchor, within the Tsinandali Estate complex, which also houses the Alexander Chavchavadze House Museum, historic gardens, and the Tsinandali wine cellar.

Tsinandali Estate itself is a 19th-century aristocratic property turned contemporary hotel; its rooms and suites were designed by Spanish designers Christina Gabas and Damian Figueras, with views toward the Caucasus Mountains, vineyards, and forest. The Pool Bar is one of several food and drink venues on the property, alongside Natella (Georgian restaurant), Prince Alexander (breakfast and all-day dining), Gaumarjos Wine Bar, Tsinandali Museum Café, and Library Bar.

What to order

• Cocktails — part of the stated drinks offering at the bar; specific cocktail names are not listed on the official page, so check the posted menu on site or via the hotel’s digital menu link.
• Healthy smoothies — described as one of the core drink options, suited to a hot Kakheti afternoon by the pool.
• Light dishes — the page mentions a general category of light food without naming specific items.
• Grilled dishes — described as part of the food offering; the page does not specify whether this means grilled meat, vegetables, or both, so confirm current options via the menu link on the official page.

Menus, hours and prices

Pool Bar is open Monday to Sunday, 10:00 to 19:00, according to its official page. The page links to a Main Menu in both English and Georgian but does not reproduce the dish list, so named dishes, drinks, and any seasonal changes should be checked directly on the official page or on site at the time of visit. No prices, currency, dress code, child policy, or accessibility details are stated on the page; travellers should confirm these directly with the hotel before visiting, particularly if travelling with children or guests with mobility needs.

Reservations and practical details

The page does not describe a dedicated reservation system for Pool Bar itself, unlike some of the estate’s other restaurants which carry a “Book Now” link. As it functions as a pool-side amenity, it is reasonable to assume access follows the hotel’s general pool and guest policies, though this is not explicitly stated. Travellers should check the official page or contact Tsinandali Estate directly to confirm whether reservations are required, especially for non-resident day guests.

How it fits a day in Kakheti

Tsinandali Estate sits at the centre of Kakheti’s wine country, making Pool Bar a practical midday or afternoon stop between cultural visits. A day built around the estate might begin with a walk through the Alexander Chavchavadze House Museum and the historic gardens, followed by a tasting at the Tsinandali wine cellar or Gaumarjos Wine Bar. A stop at Pool Bar for a smoothie or light grilled lunch works well in the early afternoon before continuing to nearby Telavi‘s Old Town or further exploration of the region’s vineyards; those travelling onward to Tbilisi might later contrast the estate’s rural calm with an evening along Rustaveli Avenue or a visit to the capital’s sulphur baths district. A G Tour guide can sequence these stops — estate, cellar, Pool Bar, and onward excursions — into a single, well-paced day across Kakheti.
