❤️❤️❤️
A competent, though unexciting bar range.

Décor
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful, and unexpectedly showy, this bar has been turned into a boudoir of reds and golds, antique furniture and nik naks, unusual museum style display boards fitted to the ceiling. A one room bar with a terrace set on the porch of a housing block in the suburbs.

Character
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Atmospheric in all the best ways. Friendly, slightly clandestine, local and unaffected by tourism, vibrant and young yet still versatile enough to attract different groups. Social chat and banter enhanced by the darts played at the bar.

The going rate for the area, nothing scary.
DescriptionAfter the nth nothingy cafe bar you’d be tempted to feel demotivated, to wonder if there actually are any truly epic bars in the Balkans which compete with other regions of Europe. Then, your cursor falls over the next icon with a coffee mug on it, filled with hope but not expectation, and you find one.

Graffiti, set outside Novi Sad old town in pleasant enough suburbs is easily reachable and well worth the trip – in fact if you are going anywhere near Novi Sad you should pay a visit. Its interior, a labour of love, carefully curated with rich reds, golds and unusual ceiling fittings with vintage photography. With a leafy terrace out front, this has some of the core ingredients for fantastically atmospheric evening bar going. This is enhanced further by its non-touristy location. Those here are acquaintances, familiar faces, and as they play darts by the bar, the chatter is real, local, and the feel is truly authentic. This is their place, and you are merely a welcome guest. Grab one of the little tables and soak up the rich surroundings, the likes of which you’ll not be experiencing in the region very often. (Added June 2023)
