Zagreb | Nightlife | Alternative

If you pluck up the courage to edge your way past the meaty bouncers, you'll find the last bastion of unadulterated rock music in Zagreb. Black clad sulky people dance it up on Fridays and Saturdays in a pantomime of rock and leather, but not without a touch of 1980s irony and even some electro [...]

A staple for college students, this bar wedged behind the Zagreb Botanical Gardens is a smoke filled, cheap swill serving, gem of a watering hole. With indoor bench seating and a terrace to boot, this is a haven of the alternative scene. Good tunes on the sound system too! [...]

If you happen to be strolling through Park Ribnjak at night, you're sure to come across several groups of people chilling out on benches or roaming through the park. Follow some of those folks (and the sounds of music filling the night air) to Purgeraj, a popular night-spot for students and young people who come to pack the large bar area and dancefloor to hear a diverse range of sounds, from rock to jazz, funk to blues. Just be sure to keep an eye out for the overly aggressive bouncers. [...]

This unpretentious roadhouse bar is just behind the National University Library. Along with cheap suds, coffees and pool, you can catch live blues every Sunday. The best Croatian beer (Velebitsko) is well cheap, and there's an ace old time jukebox full of raaawk! Yeaeah! [...]

Don’t let the chains suspended from the ceiling make you nervous. Runa’s a place where even a square can feel welcome, especially with the help of its fine selection of domestic and international beers. If the conversation lags, just lean back, close your eyes and tap your toes along wi [...]

Spunk
Don't be put off by the dodgy name emblazoned in neon blue letters on the front. Outside the National University Library, it's a friendly, studenty hangout where people come to hear good music (mostly rock) and live bands. [...]
