Brod Belgrade

Indie music venue loved by all

Vladimir from Belgrade

""Brod" Belgrade is an indie venue well-known among locals - all my young-to-middle-aged friends visit this central, small but legendary concert space..."

It is hard to recall anyone among my friends who does not know or does not visit this small but legendary bar from time to time. The evident reason for this might be that it has been with us for quite some time, but above all it is because Brod is – and there is no mistake about it - loved by everyone.

Why it is that way is not really apparent right from the start. There's little to distinguish it from a regular Belgrade café: tiny, on two levels, usual choice of drinks... Brod's position is very central but it also lies in the most polluted street in Belgrade, the notorious Bulevar Despota Stefana. This of course makes its terrace a place where only the strong will and imagination of visitors allows them to enjoy the open air.

So what makes this place so good? Above all its guests, young to middle aged lovers of good music, bright and intellectual. Music plays an important role here: usually it is solid indie rock, with playlists created either by the owners or on the spot by one of the regulars. Such a compact place, with a matching musical choice, will after a few visits allow you to become a part of it.

To sum up, Brod seems to be the lowest common denominator of urban not-so-young who come here to relax with a pint or two, looking with disdain at the crooked world outside of its borders.

Belgrade Spotter Vladimir

About me I was always prone to asking questions, wondering why things are the way they are and where they are. Born and raised in Belgrade I asked the same about my environment, taking ever longer walks through the city and immersing ever deeper into the city’s two and a half millennia long history, learning how our physical environment was shaped by past events. In time I got my BA and MA in history focusing on southeast Europe and, yes, Belgrade. Then I grew impatient to share the knowledge, to break the stereotypes, to open new views. So I wrote a few tourist guidebooks o...
