Fun and entertainment Dubrovnik

Ragusans love this little pub just a stone's throw from Pile and the sea, and it's easy to see why. From the tables on the water's edge, away from the hustle and bustle at the entrance to the old town, you can enjoy the sun and the view. The Kop is also open out of season, when it becomes one of the best places to read and drink coffee. Don't expect a very elaborate offer: no long list of cocktails, but a simple but good breakfast is served, and drinks are priced right!

Dubrovnik's first gay bar is located in the heart of the old town. Inspired by London club Annabel's, it opened its doors in 2022 and has since become a must for the LGBTQ+ community and beyond. Between mirrors, velvet, colorful flowers and animal motifs, Milk presents a neat atmosphere and promises "an unforgettable experience". The cocktail menu is interesting and original, and the drinks are carefully prepared (Tiny Dancer, George Michael and Skyfall are among the most popular cocktails).

This Irish pub, which opened in 2004, is always packed when there's a soccer or rugby match on TV. But even if you're not a sports fan, the Gaffe is still a nice (and air-conditioned) place to spend a few hours. The kitchen is open all day and offers a bit of everything: breakfast with eggs and sausages, cheese plates, salads, meat, tacos, desserts... Prices are not exaggerated given the pub's location. Good selection of beers and whiskies. Please note: smoking is not prohibited inside.

A new entry in Durbovnik's panorama of chic wine bars! As the name suggests, Fratellos specializes in prosecco, the famous Italian sparkling wine. But that's not all: this new venue has set up shop next door to Kino Slavica, the town's historic summer cinema, which boasts a wonderful garden overlooking the sea. On the menu, plenty of cicchetti (Venetian tapas), as well as cheese and charcuterie platters, plus a breakfast menu.

Between the Ploče gate and the Magistrala, the road that runs along the Dalmatian coast, the Bikers Caffe is a meeting place for locals and, of course, bikers passing through. With a beautiful view of the old port and the city, reasonable prices and even sandwich, breakfast and packed lunch formulas, this café remains an interesting place to stop before setting off to explore Dubrovnik's surroundings. In the evening, rock music invades the premises, with occasional live concerts. Highly recommended.

Cogito is an artisan roastery that opened the doors of its first café in 2014 in central Zagreb. Since then, several Cogito's have opened around the world, including one in Dubrovnik's Old Town. Colorful cups, retro furniture and, above all, the scent of freshly-ground coffee are the signature of this place with a friendly atmosphere. Prices may be high (as elsewhere in the old town), but the quality is top-notch. Sometimes, slices of cake or croissants are also served. Wifi available.

Located in the second basement of the Libertas Hotel, this casino is frequented by the hotel's guests and local players. Nothing changes in its decoration and layout from the other casinos of the Merit Casinos group. Small but comfortable, with bars and slot machines, modern vending machines, two roulette table games (croupier), blackjack and trip poker. Not very crowded but a good atmosphere. To get there, buses 4, 5 and 7 (15 minutes from the old town).
