Iva from Rijeka

I am a traveler, food lover, gym lover and book lover. In that order. And all other kinds of lover. I love to enjoy life. Maybe that's why I still haven't found my regular job. I started with the Faculty of Law but didn't finish my studies. Then I became a Croatian language and philosophy professor.

BAR BAR Rijeka

Tapas bar

""BAR BAR" in Rijeka is one of the coziest bars in the city. Whenever I go there, I'm usually one of the people to close it! Definitely try the tatar toast."

If you want to eat tapas and have great drinks, go to Bar Bar. If you want to chit-chat with your friends and enjoy good music, go to Bar Bar. If you are looking for a pre-drinks, warm-up place, go to Bar Bar. I also truly recommend you make a reservation, especially on weekend nights after 19:00.

Inside Bar Bar you can't smoke, because of the food. The outside is known to be pretty crowded, especially on summer nights. You can enjoy a glass of wine, a tatar snack and the nice view on Principia, the archaeological park in front.

I have to mention Bar Bar's waiters. They are all really nice, friendly and talkative. They will help you with reservations and also recommend the best snacks. If you want more toast bread with tatar, no problem, it's on its way.

Bar Bar is one of the bars where you will feel really comfortable. At least that's how I feel when I go there. I prefer going to Bar Bar on Friday night with my friends. We make a reservation and usually are the ones to close it.

Bar Bar is having a new moment this summer. They started to serve breakfast every day (Mon - Sat). I truly recommend to try it and give it a chance.

Bar Bar is a spot you can't miss while you're in Rijeka.
