Samo Pivo

Top choice in Belgrade


Hidden up an out-of-service escalator that leads to an abandoned shopping arcade, Samo Pivo – 'just beer' in Serbian – feels like a brash, unconventional war room catering equally to a chain-smoking mix of craft beer fiends, and Lav or Jelen devotees. It's Belgrade's most extensive selection (23 draught beers and over 200 brands in bottles) and boasts an ace patio.
