Entertainment in Serbia

A
Federal Association of World Travellers
A wonderfully eclectic basement bar in which you feel you've gate-crashed a surrealists' house party, and been welcomed in. It's decorated as though various members have returned from the four corners of the earth bearing one object as a contribution to the furnishings. Just open the big black gate, follow the lights that come on, and listen for the music, which is live every night.

Plastic
The sizable dance floor with a seamless mix of house, techno and drum'n'bass keeps Belgrade's clubbers up to all hours. Plastic is very popular; you may have to queue a while.

Ben Akiba
We liked this place, its bubbly atmosphere and those cocktails - so smooth, so seductive and so moreish. You could easily leave here early in the morning brain- and wallet-drained. Another one of Belgrade's hidden bars, Ben Akiba started out as a secret drinking den for liberals opposed to Milošević. Slip round the back of the main building, go up to the 1st floor and knock. Then be prepared to heave yourself into the happy mass.

Red Cow
Is this the long-lost partner of Red Bull? A young crowd spends its evenings in this busy Irish publike bar with a wooden interior and tons of seating in the bar area and the upstairs attic room. A relaxed atmosphere and 16 different kinds of bottled beer, as well as draught Guinness and Nikšičko. Go into the courtyard opposite the city library on Zmaj Jovina, and climb to the 1st floor.

Andergraund
Once an air-raid shelter and then a mushroom farm, (still smells a bit that way), Andergraund is a warren of caverns where the big-name DJs play. Live music is usually on Saturday, and whenever there's a big sports event the large TV on the outside terrace is fired up. This is about the only nightclub in Belgrade with wheelchair access.

Rezime
When you're hangover-hobbled, slink up here and collapse in the leather armchairs. Try to wrangle your body back to some normality with the buck-you-up coffee or vast range of teas (cherry is our favourite), maybe the supersmooth chilled chocolate mousse as well. But you don't have to abuse yourself to qualify for the Rezime treatment.

Acapulco
Blinged-up boys come here to flaunt their (new) money and she-accessories. Got a low turbofolk threshold? Start swimming.

Ana 4 Pistolja
Descend the spiralling path through the rock garden into the depths, where, in caverns beneath the streets, DJs spin everything from techno to trance for a heaving mixed-ages throng. Sometimes there's an entrance fee for males.

Exclusive
A basement beer joint, Exclusive is Belgrade's answer to a Munich beer hall. There's plenty of knees-up music in this lads' bar, with big snacks - sausage, bread and chips - as a sound bedrock for serious drinking.

Brave Heart
Heaves till late and appeals to Belgrade's young 'businessmen' and their trophy girls. It's a place to chill out with DJ music until midnight and then kick in when the live music starts up.

Bibis
A quiet place that's a useful starter to a night out; sit over a drink and decide where to rock on to next. It's popular in winter when other barges are closed.

Kalemegdan
For some free Sunday entertainment wander along to the Kalemegdan, where folk come to dance hand in hand the traditional way to pipe, accordion and drum.

Tema
A subtly lit modern bar that both young and old are welcome to linger in. Chilly days become more bearable after one of the coffees with a spirit kick.

Club X
Another cruisy basement joint that's Belgrade's only gay and lesbian club. The place throbs to DJ beats, and Saturday is reputedly the best night.
