Dubrovnik Nightlife

Despite its city-break allure, Dubrovnik isn’t known for its raucous nightlife. However, there are still numerous options for a lively night out.

While Dubrovnik’s cultural scene is relatively rich, festivals tend to make up the city’s event’s calendar, rather than one-off performances. This means that there are prolonged periods with only occasional events taking place. When things do happen, though, they’re generally worth the wait.

 

Bars in Dubrovnik

D’Vino

One of the most buzzing bars in Dubrovnik also happens to be one of the smallest. It’s worth squeezing down the tiny lane off the Stradun and into D’Vino if you fancy trying out some excellent Croatian and international wines. The vaulted interior is very inviting when the weather turns chilly.

Address: Old Town, Palmitoćeva 4a, Dubrovnik, 20000
Telephone: +385 203 211 230

Malvasija Wine Bar

Your Old Town stroll is worth an interruption – visit this rustic wine bar and try the local varieties historic to the region. The wine list is extensive, but make sure to sample Plavac Mali, Posip, Grk and Malvasija dubrovacka, as chances are you won’t come across them elsewhere in town.

NoneNina

Onofrio Ice Bar

Swap your summer gear for a hooded poncho and cool down in Dubrovnik’s very own ice bar, the first of its kind in Croatia. Check out the ice sculptures while sipping on a Mai Tai at -5C (23F). Warm back up on the ground floor’s bar or check out the Korean restaurant also in the building.

Clubs in Dubrovnik
