BAR ČARŠIJA

This bar (Бар Чаршија) is, as its name suggests, located in Bitola's charchia. Its vaulted hall and small shady courtyard occupy part of the Hadji-Mahmut-Bey mosque complex. So it's among the old stones and under a pretty minaret that you can come and sip a cocktail or a beer. The establishment attracts mainly local youth. It is itself run by a group of young people. They have just taken over the premises and still have to learn the ropes. But all the ingredients are there for a good time.
