Bars intro

You know you've made it when you are allowed (or can blag yourself) into the Friday evening drinking sessions in the UNMIK complex, or in OSCE's ninth-floor restaurant. Lesser mortals can avail of a good selection of other bars.

Crème de la Crème

Crème is probably the best all-round bar in the city. It's run for the amusement of the young, arty owners and not for profit, which explains the more-than-generous pricing arrangements, especially for the perfectly executed cocktails. Read_on (1 Comment)

Xhoni's Bar

"Johnny's" is without doubt a Pristina institution. It’s small, friendly, smokey, plays excellent soul, disco and classic rock music from vinyl and is open until the last man or woman staggers out. Read_on (No Comments)

Zullu Bar

One of many busy cafés along this nightlife stretch – Zullu is owned by Carlos, who seems even younger than his schoolkid clientele. Read_on (No Comments)
