This bar, just half a beer bottle away from Metelkova (see the Metelkova article), is usually second and most of the time also the last stop in the evening.

It has two levels with different functions. The lower one is an ordinary bar with extra-ordinary bartenders – long-haired and long bearded old rockers. The upper part is a mini concert hall a.k.a. dance floor. They host everything from A to Z, literally (from alternative rock, to punk, ska, metal, reggae, to jazz).

I like concerts at Orto bar because of very relaxed atmosphere and personal contact with group that is performing. I am not an expert in counting crowds, but I believe if more than 150 people would enter concert “room”, the floor would collapse. That means a nice little bunch of spectators, without big gorillas protecting the stage and kicking off stage divers. And yes, this is the place, where you can easily get a signature from ‘this cute base guitarist’ directly on your boobs.

Orto bar is also the only place providing some quality party on Thursday, when the rest of Ljubljana usually looks pretty dead. 70′ and 80′ hits can suck you in until 5 in the morning, so Friday school duties are often pushed aside.
