A cocktail club in Belgrade, a 2026 Bartender's Choice Awards nominee for Best Cocktail Bar. In 2026 the bar announced the opening of its Vračar location on its own Instagram. It won Best Cocktail Bar for Serbia at the 2026 Bartenders' Choice Awards.
A New Balkan Cuisine venue by chef Vanja Puskar that reinterprets the Serbian kafana in contemporary form, set next to the Atelje 212 theater on the former site of Belgrade's first disco. The lower level runs a dedicated cocktail-and-snack concept, with a drinks program developed with Vladimir Simic, founder of the Bartenders710 school, built around local producers and ingredients. It won Best Cocktail Menu for Serbia at the 2026 Bartenders' Choice Awards.
Angry Monk opened on Uzun Mirkova in Belgrade in 2019 and describes itself as a food temple and cocktail lab, an Asian fusion dining room that reads as more than a restaurant. An impressive bar anchors the space and acts as its gathering point, while open kitchens put the cooks in view. The design borrows from Tokyo's urban rhythm and Kyoto's quieter elegance, taking street entertainment energy and moving it into a warm, elegant setting. The kitchen works from Japanese and wider pan-Asian flavors, built on fresh local ingredients rather than the usual sushi bar conventions. Doors open at noon daily, with the license running to two on Friday and Saturday.
Elizabeth occupies the Hotel Bristol, a 1912 Art Nouveau landmark in Savamala, carefully restored and now part of the Belgrade Waterfront. The house frames itself as a restaurant where secrets are taste and the world is your plate, and the drinking side is the Elizabeth Signature Bar, developed with Bruno Vanzan over two months: twelve signature cocktails, classics, custom builds, and a shelf of more than a hundred spirits running through Scottish single malts, bourbons, gins and rare tequilas. A bar lab on site makes the liqueurs, syrups, infusions and garnishes, down to stamped ice. Chefs Miloš Savić and Miloš Janković run the kitchen. A dress code applies, and the room opens Thursday through Saturday.
Josephine takes its name and its look from Josephine Baker and the 1920s, a cocktail bar and restaurant on Kralja Milutina in central Belgrade fitted out in glamorous Art Deco with meticulous attention to detail. The house calls the aim a world both modern and timeless. Behind the bar sits a long cocktail list of what it calls authentic formulas, backed by a deep spirits shelf and a wine selection that rotates through producers from around the world. The kitchen runs all day, from breakfast to dinner, with a lavish and eclectic seasonal menu built on fresh ingredients and house made delicacies. Service starts at noon and runs late into the night.
Rakia Bar calls itself the first and the original rakia bar, and the room on Dobračina in central Belgrade is built around rakija, the Serbian fruit brandy. The house sums up its own offer as rakija mixology, and the drinks follow the spirit: plum, quince, raspberry and the rest of the fruit brandy range. Alongside the bar the house runs what it describes as an unusual gift shop, stocking rakija sets and miniatures, medovina, gin and liqueurs, wines from small Serbian producers, and jams, compotes and preserves made to traditional recipes without chemistry or preservatives. Rakija glasses, decorative vessels and Belgrade souvenirs fill the shelves, sold through the house's own online shop.
