Bar entertainment in Croatia

  1. A

    Tolkien's House

    This most unusual bar is just up the street from Lotrščak Tower. It's decorated in the style of Tolkien's famous books and has a cosy enclosed terrace where you can drink the best hot chocolate in Zagreb.

    Monokini

    Opatija's nightlife took a hit when the police started cracking down on drink-drivers, ending the practice of driving from Rijeka to Opatija to drink along the harbour. All is not lost however. In the summer, a bar scene populated by locals and tourists is still centred on the harbour and the ever-popular Caffé Harbour or Hemingways. Along Obala Maršala Tita try Monokini , the current favourite watering hole of Opatija's nightcrawlers.

    Café Festival

    Placa is one of the world's most beautiful streets and this cafe is the best place to kick back and enjoy the view. The interior is also inviting and if your day of sightseeing has been interrupted by bad weather then this is the perfect place to slink into and sink a few.

    Opium Buddha Bar

    The décor is Asian, the sounds are electro and the look is sleek at this temple of trenditude. With a sprawling outdoor terrace, a shadowy lounge, an exhibition space and nibblies at all hours, it's hard to find a reason to leave.

    Hemingway

    The main accoutrements you'll need here are black sunglasses and a mobile phone glued to your ear. Papa (the author, not the owner of this chain of bars) was less pretentious but Zagreb's trendies couldn't care less.

    Hemingway

    With its classy wrought-iron chairs outside, this cocktail bar is hard to miss. The comfortable interior pays homage to the bar's namesake with large photos of The Bearded One on the wall and drinks named after him.

    Labirint

    This is a vast restaurant, nightclub, disco and cabaret complex that caters to high rollers. It can chew through your wallet pretty quickly unless you just come for a romantic cocktail on the roof terrace.

    Casa del Padrone

    Krk partygoers crowd the two floors of this faux-Renaissance bar-club which hosts DJs on summer weekends. Daytime fun consists of lounging on the seaside tables as you nibble on cakes and sip espresso.

    Monte Carlo

    The best show in town is watching the sunset from this place. Cocktails are pricey but sitting on the rocks next to the sea with a view of Sveti Katarina is definitely worth the splurge.

    Eastwest Beach Club

    By day this outfit on Banje Beach rents out beach chairs and umbrellas. When the rays lengthen, the cocktail bar opens and a smart-casual set admires the sunset over a long, cool drink.

    Fantastic sunsets are to be savoured as you sip cocktails at this terrace bar. It's popular with locals, tourists and yachters alike. The music is relaxed and the vibe easy-going.

    Saloon

    This fashionable watering hole tries to attract a slightly older crowd by devoting at least one night a week to classic rock. Other nights, the emphasis is on Croatian techno.

    Zanzibar

    Indonesian wood, palms, subdued lighting and various imaginative decorative touches create a vaguely tropical and definitely upscale ambience in this cocktail bar.

    Jungle

    The only veritable club in town draws in a youngish set to its tropically themed dance floor where house music is king. The cocktail bar outside is more low-key.

    Tiffany

    Perch on the town walls right outside this pub, beer in hand, and bop to the sound of old disco and pop hits. The views from the terrace are spectacular.

  17. Dos Locos

    Hangout for young Korčulans complete with R&B on the mix and music videos projected on the side of a building. It’s just behind the bus station.

  18. Žabac

    Don't take your folks here. The booze is cheap, the scene is rowdy and you're only steps away from Aquarius.

    After poking around the Upper Town, stop here to sample one of the excellent Croatian wines on offer.
