Kafe Bar Blaznavac

@djodjaan

A very authentic place with a diverse drink menu. You can enjoy short shots, classic cocktails, or bar specials. All this combined with a rustic ambiance full of greenery. This place was named after one of the important statesmen of Serbia in the 19th century, so additional elements through pictures in the menu or on napkins contribute to the overall impression. Very busy on weekends, especially in the evenings, but usually, a table for a few can be found easily.

Isabel Speakeasy

@djodjaan

The best way to describe this bar is as "Prohibition era in Belgrade in the 21st century." The bar is entirely modeled after the speakeasy bars of 20th-century America, very small, with a compact space and in a totally hidden location. To enter the bar, you pass through a barbershop, which Google Maps will lead you to, and you open the door by pulling a bottle on the handle. A dress code is mandatory, and the bar occasionally organizes themed evenings. On weekends, you can enjoy jazz performances in the bar. Reservations are not possible, so make sure to arrive on time to secure your spot.

Druid bar

@djodjaan

Another in the series of cocktail bars, created in the style of American speakeasy bars of the 1920s. There is no menu, instead bartenders create cocktails based on the guests' preferences. There is no visible advertisement or sign, the easiest way to find it is through Google Maps, and you will recognize it by the green lantern in front of the building. However, to enter, you need to call the number posted on the door or in the description of the Google link. It may sound spooky, but it's worth it, believe me! If you want to visit on the weekend, it is recommended to reserve a spot. As the bar is extremely small, large groups will find it difficult to find seats for everyone; it is recommended for groups up to 5 people.
