Red Bar
"A beloved institution standing defiant in the middle of Belgrade’s tourist-heavy bohemian quarter. Red Bar has been a sanctuary for alternative youth, locals, and expats since 1996. Spread across multiple floors with two prime terraces overlooking the cobblestones of Skadarlija, it’s loud, unpretentious, and affordable. Expect worn-out furniture, friendly resident cats, a heavy rotation of rock and indie music, and a lively, packed house every night of the week."

Skip the ground floor and head straight up the stairs to snag a table on the second-floor balcony—it offers the best people-watching in Skadarlija.
Don't expect craft mixology or white-glove service here; this is a high-volume, divey rock bar where you come for the cheap drinks and unbeatable energy.
Keep an eye out for the resident cats who own the place and will likely demand a spot on your lap or chair.
