Silosi Belgrade
Chill and dance by the riverside
Riverside in Belgrade has become the most vibrant part of the nightlife and city life in general. Most of the tourists and residents go to one of the two sides of the river Sava in the evening. You can either pick a side where most of the nightclubs are (the New Belgrade side), or you can chill on the old town side where restaurants are. Some of those restaurants turn up the music as the evening goes, but not all. Next to it is a walking path, so many parents with kids are strolling through.
Anyway, there is a place to go if you want both of those - to chill or to dance the night away - and it's called Silosi. Silosi or grain towers are literally that - an old industrial place reimagined as a cultural and vibrant riverside spot.
From time to time, different kinds of festivals are organized around the grain towers where you can eat a great burger or buy something handmade. Another interesting thing is that these grain structures are decorated with murals and other artistic stuff, which is quite a sight in itself, and some cool photos can be taken here.
What I recommend most is to go when the sun is setting down, grab a drink or two, and then, well, dance. Be ready that there will be a lot of people, and the best way to come to Silosi is by taxi. If you come from the city center, it won't cost much.

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...

Diwali Palace – Taken away by Indian spices
"Diwali Palace" is the only restaurant in Belgrade serving Indian food. Careful - portions aren't that huge, but with the spices you'll feel full quickly!
