The best pubs - Dubrovnik - Croatie in 2025

Practical information : Take a break Dubrovnik

Timetable

In season, cafés are open every day from dawn to dusk. In winter, they close earlier in the evening and sometimes only open at weekends (especially if they are concert bars).

Budget & Tips

The cafés in the old town, especially those along the Stradun, are very expensive. The situation changes as you move away from the city walls, but in general, consider that Dubrovnik is much more expensive than the rest of Croatia (even in the neighboring regions of Pelješac and Konavle). A coffee can cost between €1 and €3, depending on the location of the bar, while a pint of beer can reach €8 in the most popular places. Please note: credit cards are not accepted everywhere.

Age restrictions

Under-18s are not allowed to consume alcohol. You may be asked to show proof of identity at the bar.

What's very local

Ragusans are great coffee drinkers. Good Mediterranean people, they like to make the most of the terraces that can be found in every corner of the city and dozens of them within the city walls. You can enjoy an espresso (or any other kind of coffee, such as the well-known bijela kava, or café crème) at the foot of the cathedral, opposite the Rector's palace, on the Stradun, facing the old port - and there, the magic of Dubrovnik inevitably takes place! Some cafés, such as Gradska Kavana, were founded during the Austro-Hungarian Empire. You'll also want to stop off at the Café Festival and the Cafés Buža, which are located on the rocks south of the city walls, facing the sea. Some bars also offer live music.

Smokers

Practically all bars in Croatia are smoke-free. So expect smoky atmospheres in cafés and nightclubs, except in the open air!
