5 amazing bars in Sarajevo | Bosnia and Herzegovina

Do you have trouble finding a perfect spot to spend the evening in Sarajevo? Help is on its way. Read this blog post and discover 5 amazing and unique bars in Sarajevo.

One of my favourite activities in Sarajevo was to stroll through the small streets of the historical centre during the evening and enjoy the vibrant colourful atmosphere and cosiness of the city.

Besides the unique mix of cultural influences, tasty traditional food such as cevapi and burek, Sarajevo is also a great city to enjoy a pleasant night out.

On a rainy evening in Sarajevo we made it our mission to discover the best and most varied bars in and around the historical centre, where you can enjoy a drink in the most unique and atmospheric sceneries.

Pirates pub

Pirates pub is located in the historical centre of Sarajevo. This is a theme bar completely dedicated to pirates. The interior is therefore arranged as an old pirate boat with decorations fitting that theme. Inside plays contemporary music with a beat. If you are looking for a place to get your groove on and dance, this is the perfect spot.

The thing I adored most was the little pirate boat cocktail bar on the terrace where you could order and taste freshly made cocktails.

La Cava

La cava is a small but very cosy wine bar with a beautiful terrace. The interior is based on an old wine cellar and gives a rustic vibe. This bar is perfect for an aperitif or a degustive after dinner.

I loved spending my time on the terrace where I could peacefully enjoy a wine or cocktail while overlooking the historical streets of Sarajevo.

City pub

Are you looking for a real pub with good music and an occasional live performance. Then you are at the right address at the city pub. This bar is centrally located and attracts many people every night. Inside there is a friendly atmosphere. Everyone is welcome. It is also a great place for beer lovers to taste the local beer.

I really enjoyed the positive and festive vibes during a live performance.

Tesla pub

Bar Tesla is a trendy modern cocktail bar named after the inventor Nicola Tesla. This bar has a hip idustrial touch. Here you can enjoy a delicious cocktail in a beautiful and cosy setting.This would be the perfect place for a date!

I just adored our table by the window. This way we could enjoy the beautiful modern interior as well as the nightlife outside.

Zlatna ribica or goldfish

Zlatna Ribica bar is literally a hidden gem in Sarajevo. The interior is based on art nouveau and consists of a collection of treasures from the past. It has a very unique character where you can spend a pleasant and peaceful evening among friends. You will never get bored, because you can’t stop looking around without discovering something new.

The most fun surprise was the toilet that is also completely decorated in that theme. I am not going to give anything away here, so do not forget to take a look in there. You will be amazed.

Apart from the rain we had a great evening discovering the nightlife of Sarajevo to find out the most amazing spots for you!
