Zagreb's bars often pour coffee by day and cocktails by night, and the city's own spirits, from fig distillate to pelinkovac, turn up on their menus. The best bars in Zagreb start in Trešnjevka at Peaches & Cream Bar, created by bartenders Dominik Bečvardi and Mišel Posavac, where classic cartoons play on the screens, the menu changes twice a year and the drinks can be made to order. Also in Trešnjevka, Landsky is named after Paula Landsky, who became the city's first female tram conductor in 1914, and runs tram-themed menus from morning to happy hour. In the Lower Town, Urania Bar fills a former cinema with an all-glass front, serving specialty coffee and cocktails with tapas. Roots, opened in April 2019, moves from fresh juices and brunch to cocktails named after countries, and the Esplanade's Art Deco bar names its drinks after stations of the Orient Express. Blend Bar on Gundulićeva mixes signature and personalized cocktails. Roots closes same-day bookings at 4pm, and Blend takes reservations by phone only. These are the six we would start with.

Located in Zagreb, Peaches & Cream has quickly established itself as one of the most influential cocktail bars in Balkan and Eastern Europe. Founded by bartenders and close friends Mišel Posavac and Dominik Bečvardi, the bar was built on passion, creativity, and a clear vision, to put Zagreb on the global cocktail map. That vision quickly became reality. Peaches & Cream is the first Croatian bar to be featured on the 50 Best Discovery list and the Top 500 Bars, setting a new benchmark for the country and inspiring a wider regional movement. At its core, Peaches & Cream is about people. Every cocktail is crafted with precision and personality, every guest experience is tailored, and every menu tells a story, blending modern techniques with a warm, approachable style of hospitality that defines the bar. Beyond its walls, Peaches & Cream is the creator of Copy Taste, the largest cocktail event in the Balkans, dedicated to elevating the regional bar community and giving it a global voice. Through this platform, the team continues to connect cultures, share knowledge, and spotlight emerging talent. Peaches & Cream stands out not only for its quality, but for its impact, locally, regionally, and increasingly on the international stage.
