Krivi Put Zagreb

For reevaluating your life choices

Tamara from Zagreb

About me I was born but not raised in Zagreb and moved back to the city in 2010 when I started my university studies. I finished my Master’s degree in Education and Sociology in the meantime and am currently working for an NGO as a project manager and youth worker. While education is my main professional interest, in my free time I love balancing out the pragmatism of my day-job...
""Krivi put" in Zagreb means 'wrong path', and it's a bar that you might end up in if you've taken plenty of wrong turns in your life..."

Krivi put means "wrong path", as in when someone tells you that you're on the wrong path, or when you fear that you might have chosen the wrong life path. Not just the name, but the place itself insinuates that that's just what you might have done, especially if you find yourself there on a week-night having beer and avoiding responsibilities. 

It's one of those spots that remind you that it sucks that you've "grown up". And where you pretend that you haven't. During uni-times, we loved to pick a random school night when we definitely had an exam to study for, homework to do or a paper to write. Then either my flat-mate or I would interrupt the other one by innocently suggesting to just have a quick walk to Krivi put (walks are healthy and help you concentrate, right?) and have ONE beer. I admit, I lied, I knew every time how that would work out for us.

Although Krivi put definitely has a (purposeful) clochard style to it  - and you might pride yourself of being a full-blown adult with a job you're not ashamed of  - there's still an irresistible feeling of guilty pleasure to having a drink there once in a while. It has a huge yard with colorful wooden tables and benches, beer-garden style, which in summer gets really crowded. It's completely acceptable to squeeze in next to someone at the table that seems the least crowded then and start a conversation about life choices.

Zagreb Spotter Tamara

About me I was born but not raised in Zagreb and moved back to the city in 2010 when I started my university studies. I finished my Master’s degree in Education and Sociology in the meantime and am currently working for an NGO as a project manager and youth worker. While education is my main professional interest, in my free time I love balancing out the pragmatism of my day-job with reading, philosophy and expressing myself through writing and music. If I had the time, I’d spend all my money on travel and activities in the outdoors. Why Zagreb Although it...

Roman relics in the center

Zagreb is supposed to have been founded in the Middle Ages, but just to the south there used to be Roman Andautonia. These three relics are so fascinating!
