The 6 Best Bars in Ljubljana

Updated October 2026

Ljubljana's cocktail bars split between the narrow lanes of the Old Town and the rooftops of the center, and Slovenia's taste for strong traditional spirits and herbal flavors runs through their menus. The best bars in Ljubljana start on Krojaška ulica at Silk and Fizz, which in 2026 became Slovenia's first bar on 50 Best Discovery and pours what it calls pretentious cocktails with bad jokes. On the same street, Champagne Suzy hides inside the Vander Urbani Resort and splits its list into perfect and imperfect drinks next to champagne. On Židovska steza, Kolibri Cocktail Bar pays homage to the area's distilling heritage at an apothecary-styled counter, taking its cue from old tincture, bitters and herbal-remedy recipes. For the views, Nebotičnik, the skyscraper completed in 1933, serves cocktails on a 12th-floor terrace with a 360-degree panorama, and the InterContinental's B-Bar, 20 floors up, mixes drinks from more than 30 gins and locally grown fruit and vegetables. Silk and Fizz takes no reservations. These are the six we would start with.
