Centrala is one of those neighbourhood haunts that immediately feels like home, if home was a lively, jam-packed, but somehow laid-back, bar on a street corner. Owned by a local painter, there are occasionally exhibitions held here, but the main attraction is its hospitable, happy crowd and a noticeable absence of the pretentiousness that often plagues 'cool' Belgrade bars.
