Belgrade Bar Guide
30+ bars across Belgrade's drinking neighbourhoods, curated by editors who know the city.
Belgrade is Europe's best nightlife city. The splavovi (river-barge clubs) on the Sava and Danube run from sunset to dawn. Around the river layer, Dorcol's craft-cocktail wave built rooms that match Vienna's best for half the price. Question Mark has poured drinks since 1823. The drinks lean rakija, slivovitz, and Serbian-honey wine.
Five neighbourhoods cluster the action. Savamala is the river-barge spine. Dorcol holds the craft-cocktail district. Stari Grad runs the heritage-pub layer. Vracar covers the residential boutique-bar quarter. Zemun across the river is the heritage Austro-Hungarian district.
Cocktails run RSD 600 to RSD 1,200 ($6 to $12). Rakija shots RSD 200 to RSD 400. Cheap. Tipping is 10 percent. Most bars run to 4am, splavovi to 6am.
