The social dining and events venue reflects the growing cultural and hospitality scene in Albania’s capital.
TIRANA, ALBANIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2026 / As Tirana continues its rapid transformation into one of Southeast Europe’s most dynamic capitals, new independent projects are beginning to reshape the city’s social and cultural landscape. One of these initiatives is ATY, a social dining and events venue located within the new Pyramid complex in the heart of the city.
Founded by Albanian media entrepreneur and creative producer Eraldo Rexho, ATY was conceived as more than a traditional restaurant. The concept was developed as a cultural and social space where dining, music and community experiences come together in one environment.
Positioned in one of the newly developed cubes surrounding the Pyramid, the venue is part of the broader reinvention of the landmark, which is being transformed into a hub for youth, technology and creative industries. Within this context, ATY aims to activate the area through live events, social gatherings and a contemporary hospitality model.
“ATY was created as a place where people could meet, collaborate and experience the new energy of Tirana,” says founder Eraldo Rexho. “It is not only about food or nightlife. It is about building a social platform that reflects the cultural evolution of the city.”
Over the past months, the venue has hosted live music performances, DJ nights, private events and community gatherings, attracting young professionals, creatives and international visitors. Its event-driven model positions ATY among a new generation of hospitality concepts emerging across Europe, where venues function as both businesses and cultural platforms.
As Tirana continues to grow as a destination for tourism, investment and creative industries, projects like ATY represent the type of independent initiatives helping shape the identity of the city’s new urban generation.
