Ljutić Belgrade
Backyard coolness
Ljutić is a bar that opened several years ago in the backyard of a wonderful, but rather neglected, Art Nouveau house from the turn of the 20th century. Except for a small sign on the front gate there is little in this quiet street to announce that you are in front of an ever-growing, popular spot. Don't worry, low profile is how they like it here.
In nice weather everyone is seated outside, enjoying the spacious yard, a real oasis amidst the tall neighboring buildings, a cozy ensemble of tumbledown chairs and tables. In case of bad weather the guests fill the large rooms of the old house.
Like its location, the decoration in Ljutić is also in a constant flux. It might seem like a ramshackle of old items but many of the paintings and details are made by young and upcoming artists. Some of them are on sale.
What I really like here is the leisurely atmosphere. The waitresses sing along to the music and seem to know a good deal of guests. Thus drinks are served serenely and with a smile - exactly how it should be in a place that often seems more like a friend's place than a commercial enterprise.
