Radost is a coozy Art coffee with a Book store, in the centre of Bitola, with a view of the clock tower, but it's a quiet place away from the everyday crowd

Stopped for a quick drink in bitola on a very hot day. Chose this place as it's good to support venues and i believe they are one of the few in bitola. Lovely staff, great outdoor seating with "water" spray above your head or how it is called to make you feel coller

Chill place with an interesting menu, things like homemade ice tea in a jar. Also some interesting cocktails and okay coffee. The staff is friendly and always welcoming. Hopefully the hard parties return, there used to be things happening after hours on holidays like Easter but I think the neighbours complained too much haha.

Radost is an Art Cafe and a mini book store in the center of Bitola, very close to the city clock tower. It is a great place a bit away from the main street and the everyday crowd. It is situated in what has once been an Old Bazaar, just behind the main boulevard.
