2 Best Nightlife in Zagreb and Environs, Croatia

Old Pharmacy Pub

Donji Grad

International sports fans of all kinds flock to this English-style pub, and its decor—such as a mirror behind the brass bar, pharmacy-related sepia photographs and vintage ads crowding the walls, and dark wood everywhere—perfectly matches the smoky atmosphere. (As at other bars and cafés in Croatia, indoor smoking is allowed.) Other than sports screenings, the pub regularly hosts acoustic rock bands and quiz nights.

Oliver Twist Pub

Gornji Grad

Although in good weather practically all the patrons are seated out front (a prime position for people-watching on Tkalčićeva), inside is an English-style pub whose walls, on the upper floor, are decorated with memorabilia associated with different novels by Charles Dickens. It's a run-of-the-mill pub where the cool decor and prime location can outshine the rather basic menu options and service.
