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.

Rakhia Bar Rijeka

Croatian specialty

""Rakhia Bar" in Rijeka is obviously about the rakija. Here they have 84 types and you can try them all! Check out their affordable midweek student parties."

When you come to Croatia, you have to try a shot or rakija. It is not just any regular shot you're probably used to. Croatian rakija will warm your heart. Literally.

Rakhia bar has more than 84 different types of rakija. You can order it meter by meter and try them all. Are you thinking that you probably won't have enough money to pay all that delicious rakija? Prices are from 11 to 21 kuna and you can pay by card. It is one of few bars in Rijeka where you can pay by card.

Except rakija, you can try the gin tonic ice cream and rakija ice creams. I guess, if you like all the ingredients, it can't be bad.

The hip hop and r'n'b music will warm your hips and also, on weekends, Rakhia bar always does thematic parties with special drink offers. If you are in Rijeka on Tuesday, don't worry, there is a party in Rakhia bar. Tuesday is known as "Student day" and Rakhia bar is part of the concept of "ĐIR po starom gradu", according to which there are about four bars in the old part of the city with special drink offers for students and everybody who feels young or wants to feel young again.

Rakija, Croatian specialty will make you young again.
