Monk's Bar Belgrade

Hidden magical garden

Sava from Belgrade

"Keeping in line with the overall ethos of Belgrade, Monk's can be whatever you make of it: a peaceful getaway or a lively space for a weekend night out."

Strolling around Vračar, one of Belgrade's nicest neighborhoods, you are bound to stumble upon a cafe or bar practically every few steps. Plenty of these have their patios out on the street and are full at almost any time of day or even year.

If you keep your eyes open, you'll notice that some of the beautiful old family houses which line Vračar's streets have been turned into cafes, and more often than not, these places have the prettiest gardens for when the warm weather hits, and you need to escape from the sun and drink a nice cold beverage in the shade.

Monk's is a perfect example of such a cafe. When you enter its yard from the street, you are greeted by a peaceful garden covered with string lights and greenery, where you can sit down with a friend or the resident cat and have a nice, refreshing drink.As is often the case, the place tends to get quite popular and crowded in the evenings, especially on weekends. If you're looking for a fun night out with a good crowd, look no further.

Keeping in line with the overall ethos of Belgrade, Monk's can be whatever you make of it: a peaceful getaway for a hot summer's day, a cozy nook for a cup of tea and a book after work, or a lively space for a weekend night out full of music and dancing.

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...

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.

Chernyi Cooperative Roasters

Industrial minimalism

This is a self-service, non-smoking place where you can get very nice, high-quality coffee. They also serve breakfast, and have amazing carrot cake!

Sač

The melting pot

"Sač" in Belgrade's Zemun is a restaurant known for its veal and lamb baked 'pod sačom' which makes them absolutely delicious. Curious location, too...

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!

Back to socialism!

The old factory of IMR (or Industria Motora Rakovica) in Belgrade used to produce tractors... check out this old socialist façade white it's still there!

Makadam

Made in Serbia

Makadam Belgrade collects various items made in Serbia, like T-shirts, cosmetics, books, puzzles etc under one roof. I can't just not buy things here.

Marukoshi

Straight from Japan

The level of spiciness is just right, and the soups are filled with fresh, tasty vegetables and other ingredients, depending on which ramen you choose.
