A discreet cocktail bar near Kalemegdan where you ring a doorbell to get in. Inside is a small, low-lit room with a focused cocktail menu and bartenders who tailor drinks to the guest.
Kalemegdanska Terasa, Kalemegdan, Belgrade
An open-air lounge bar set among the stone walls of Kalemegdan fortress, with views over the rivers and a strong sunset crowd. Days are calm and cushion-strewn, while nights turn to Afro house and tribal house with a dress code.
Cincar Jankova 1, Belgrade
A speakeasy hidden behind an unmarked door on a quiet street a short walk from Kalemegdan fortress. Bartenders build bespoke drinks around each guest's taste, leaning botanical and smoky, in a dim basement room that seats only a handful of people.
