Cafe Club Saloon

Niš


As dark and dingy as any self-respecting rock-and-roll joint should be, this fortress bar packs out regularly, especially on nights when there's live music (Serbian rock on weekends; DJs on Wednesdays etc). Escape the crowds (and cigarette smoke) by making a beeline for the beer garden.
