| Choice/ Quality of Drinks | ❤️❤️ Perfunctory little bar designed for little more than keeping the show on the road. Perhaps consider wine over beer if quality is a concern. |
| Style/ Décor | ❤️❤️❤️❤️ An unmarked exterior save for a mural which gives away the location. Climb the stairs to the top floor (where you’ll hear the noise coming from) and try the door, opening out into clandestine lounge space, a large roof terrace and side rooms. Decor is vintage, faded class. |
| Atmosphere/ Character | ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Regular cultural events make it a toss-up as to what will be happening. You may walk in to formal dancing, cinema screening, etc, but stay cool, you’re still welcome to grab a beer and hang out. Night time on the terrace has some good views – very Belgradian. |
| Amenities/ Events | ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Cultural events, museum, live music, community work, snacks, outdoor seating, smoking permitted |
| Value For Money | ❤️❤️❤️ Entirely in line with usual prices for the area and quality of produce. |
| Description | The quest to find the true alternative scene in Belgrade led here to ‘Catch 22’, where cultural events from museum exhibitions, formal dancing, community get-togethers and plain old hanging out overlap, coincide, and blend into one another. A loft space in an unmarked previously abandoned building, this is one of the true seats of dynamic culture in the city as opposed to some of the more mainstream poseur venues in the centre. For variety and a sense of being in the zeitgeist, you can’t look further than here. (Added June 2023) |
