Popular with Vanadzor's youth, Teynik is an anticafe, meaning you pay per hour to get unlimited tea or coffee and snacks. It's a great deal considering the excellent tea flavours and freshly baked sweets that arrive at your table. There's a good selection of board games and instruments to play. Events such as screenings are often held.
