Das Boot Belgrade
Jazz on the lower deck
Vladimir from Belgrade
It seems to me that jazz is reappearing through Belgrade's back door, via a number of smaller clubs with cozy atmosphere and informal gigs made for people who like to combine style with clever music. The cultural center Parobrod ("Steamship"), called like that for the edifice of the Viennese First Steamship Society in which it's located, has jumped on that bandwagon as well. In autumn of 2013 they adapted the formal boiler room of the building reinventing it as a tiny club. Since the "upper deck" is Steamship it came only naturally that this constricted space becomes a "submarine".
Das Boot's design is contemporary and sleek, with dimmed lights and well thought details. There is a bar, two more mid-size rooms and an immaculately kept toilet (not such a common site around these parts). Now, all of this would not render it much different from the offer in the neighborhood if it wasn't for the good people of Parobrod who have decided to make this a venue that promotes jazz. There are two or three gigs per week, a good average, but extraordinary useful once you realize that these are spread through the working days as well.
So, if you're out on Tuesday or Thursday evening and there's seemingly nothing special going around, drop by and you might enjoy a laid-back performance, be it by music academy students or jazz veterans. Entrance is free and even your jackets will be taken care of free of charge. Nice touch. Thank you, Parobrod!

Espresso Bar
Inner center coziness
Espresso Bar has one of the best coffees in town and I don't know if the guys working there have some secret hidden DJ, but the music is always on point.

Java Coffee
My go-to iced coffee place
It is a roastery so you can also buy single-origin coffee if you like. My favorite tasty snacks here are raw cakes made of oats and fruit.

Ljutić
Backyard coolness
"Ljutić" Belgrade is hidden and there's little to announce that it's an ever-growing popular spot. But it's a low profile bar, and I love it for it.

Chillton
Chill at will
"Chillton" is not yet another classic Belgrade apartment club. The atmosphere is shabby, chilled, completely unpretentious. You can be yourself here...

Beogradski Manijak
Deep down and dirty
"Beogradski manijak" in Belgrade gives everyone a much-needed respite. Everything about this bar is without a hint of pretense. Cheap booze, good music!
