April Bar Belgrade

Fairy lights and cozy nights

Sava from Belgrade

"Tucked between Skadarlija and Cetinjska, April Bar offers a charming garden, non-smoking space, excellent cocktails, and memorable summer evenings."

April Bar is one of those places that usually get overlooked by people hurrying to get to nearby katanas in Skadarlija or one of the many bars on Cetinjska Street. Located quite literally between these two popular streets, I was really pleasantly surprised when I first stepped into April Bar's beautiful garden.

Citing itself as one of the first non-smoking bars in Belgrade, April Bar offers a cozy, chill garden in the Summer, when you can sip on a cocktail or a glass of Prosecco surrounded by a young and relaxed crowd or a retreat in its non-smoking interior part in the Winter. Whichever you choose, you'll be greeted by friendly staff, a great cocktail menu and good music.

I have a lot of places in Belgrade I like to hang out at, but nights out at April Bar really hit differently: There's just something about sitting underneath one of the trees filled with fairy lights in its beautiful garden and catching up with friends. The crowd is always friendly, and the staff is attentive. This is just one of those places you keep coming back to, for good reason.

Belgrade Spotter Sava

Hi! I'm Sava. I was born and raised in Belgrade, and have spent a good chunk of my life exploring and learning about the city I grew up in. I'm a doctor by profession, and I spend most of my free time either reading about my hometown or meeting up with friends for a coffee, usually on a quest to find a new favorite place to hang out at. I am most fascinated by stories from people who also grew up in Belgrade, and who each have a different place in the city they love most. It's really fun to find out about new places popping up all the time, especially when you think you've seen it...
