Avlabari (Georgian: ავლაბარი Avlabari) is a neighborhood of Old Tbilisi on the left bank (east side) of the Kura River. The 11th-13th century chronicles mention it as Isani, which is now one of the larger municipal regions of Tbilisi. Nowadays one of the upcoming hip neighborhoods of the city, Avlabari is being extensively gentrified.
Avlabari (Armenian: Հավլաբար Havlabar) was long known as the center of Armenian life of Tbilisi. The Armenian Pantheon of Tbilisi is located in Avlabari. Until recently Havlbar was populated heavily by Armenians, but recently their number have diminished.
