Quality of Drinks
❤️❤️❤️
A notch above the average caffe bar options, broad but not exceptional.
Style/
Décor
❤️❤️❤️❤️
A nicely low key alternative slant on a lounge bar, a corner extension in an atypical building for the neighbourhood, a large curved room with rugs, piano, antique furniture, with beer garden to the rear and cosy looking back room.
Atmosphere/
Character
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Considering the location isn’t central, there is a fairly cosmopolitan crowd, largely local with some international flavour. It operates effectively as the neighbourhoods cultural hub, just as the name suggests. Chatty and social with some versatility to up the pace later on in the day.
Amenities/
Events
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Outdoor seating, meals, snacks, TV, books, board games
Value For Money❤️❤️❤️
Fair value, but nothing notably away from the norm.
DescriptionA quirky café bar out in the neighbourhoods, everything from the shape of the building, an unusual exterior growth extended from a smaller building, to the inside with its sweeping lounge area and cosy seemingly subterranean backroom with lampshade, rugs, antique furniture and eclectic decor. Nothing you won’t have seen before, but nicely curated and very unusual by Croatia’s modest standards. Drinks are adequate while the range of amenities is more of a standout here, a versatile place you could sink into the sofa and read a book, or enjoy some sport on TV, lounge out in the garden, catch up with friends or go for a buzzy evening out. Very much worth a look while in Zagreb. (Added April 2023)
