Zagreb has no shortage of bars and pubs. At Tkalciceva, there seems to be a pub every few metres and the area is superb for a pub crawl – as it looks like one vast outdoor bar. Zagreb also has a solid and lively nightlife that revolves around several characterful and informal clubs and discos. Most of the activity is from September to late June, as some of the clubs shut down for the summer when many locals go on holiday elsewhere.

Hemingway Lounge Bar
