Practical information : Take a break Bosnia And Herzegovina
Timetable
Most cafes and bars close quite early, between 10pm and midnight for the most part. But the nightlife continues later in Mostar, Banja Luka and, especially, Sarajevo.
Budget & Tips
Expect to pay between €1.50 and €2.50 for a pint of local beer, around €3 for a small bottle of rakija, around €2 for a soft drink and just over €1 for a Bosnian coffee. Some bars and pubs offer happy hour in the larger cities.
Age restrictions
Legislation prohibits the sale of alcohol to minors up to the age of 18. For adults, it is not advisable to be drunk on the public highway: it is very badly seen, especially in the vicinity of a mosque
What's very local
Rakija is the traditional brandy of many Balkan and Central European countries (about 50 degrees of alcohol). The best is the one produced by some bars and restaurants as well as by private individuals. It is obtained by distillation of fruits. The šljivovica made from plum or quetsche is the most famous. Bosnia and Herzegovina is also a wine producer, mainly in Herzegovina, but the wine served in bars is usually not very interesting. Bosnians are more fond of beer. There are five industrial breweries in Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Tuzla, Bihać and Mostar, as well as about 50 craft microbreweries throughout the country. Finally, the current fashion is hookah (plenty of shisha bars in Mostar and Sarajevo).
Smokers
Even more than in restaurants and hotels, cigarette smoke is a nuisance in bars, pubs and cafes. Unless that changes with the new anti-smoking law passed in 2022
Tourist traps
Not much. But there is a report of a credit card scam in a pub popular with tourists in the center of Sarajevo, near the Latin bridge: under the pretext of a problem reading the terminal, the staff swipes the card several times, resulting in several successive debits, but only one ticket is given to the customer.
