KC Shaka Belgrade

Blink and you'll miss it

Sava from Belgrade

"KC Shaka often adds a surprise factor of not knowing what to expect: sometimes you'll be the only guests there and other times you'll stumble upon a party."

Although I pride myself in finding cool, hidden spots in Belgrade, I must admit it took me dozens of walks down the beautiful Svetogorska street to notice that the plain blue (sometimes green!) door on a random wall between two buildings lead to a bar and not to a private garden.

KC Shaka is a small bar, nestled between two residential buildings in a busy street in downtown Belgrade. The garden fits only a couple of tables, but the cool decor, a whimsical mural on the facade to the side of the garden and beautiful lighting at night make this place the perfect summer getaway.

As it is well-hidden and not very active on social media, you also have the added surprise factor of not knowing what kind of night out to expect: sometimes, you'll be the only guests there, drinking a delicious Gin & Tonic and hanging out with the resident cats, and other times you'll stumble upon a party.

Let my experience here be a guide to finding cool places in Belgrade: keep your eyes open, and if some unassuming entrance seems like it has a hidden gem behind it, check it out!

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...
