Stari Grad (Old Town)

The postcard part of Mostar, with the famous bridge and Ottoman-era houses. The streets are cobbled and narrow, so bars here are small and intimate. It’s touristy but undeniably pretty: best for sunset drinks on a rooftop.

University District

Centred around Kralja Petra Krešimira IV, this area has cheaper bars and a student crowd. Pubs like **Pub Charlie** stay busy until 02:00 on weeknights. It’s a ten-minute walk from the Old Town, so you’ll save money without losing time.

Novi Mostar

Across the river from the Old Town, this is where locals go. The bars are bigger, the music louder, and the prices lower. **OKC Abrašević** is here, along with a few late-night clubs that don’t fill until after midnight. Walk or take a taxi: it’s 15 minutes from the hostel strip.

A basement club underneath a bar of the same name. The music is a mix of Balkan turbo-folk and mainstream EDM, and the dance floor gets packed after 01:00. Entry is free before midnight, 5 KM after. Expect shots passed around by locals: accept at least one.

The go-to pre-drink spot. Happy hour runs 21:00-23:00 with 2 KM beers and 3 KM cocktails. The terrace overlooks the Old Bridge, so you can watch the sunset before heading downstairs to The Cave. Gets loud once the group tours arrive.

A pub-style bar with wooden benches and a long happy hour (18:00-22:00). The crowd is a mix of Erasmus students and hostel guests. Try the local **Nektar** beer on tap for 3 KM. It’s a five-minute walk from the university, so it fills early on weeknights.

A British-style pub with dartboards and Sky Sports. The crowd is older: think 25+ backpackers and expats. Pints are 4 KM, but the Sunday roast (12 KM) is worth it if you’re homesick. Live music on Fridays, usually a local covers band.

A hookah lounge that turns into a bar after 22:00. The music is Middle Eastern and reggaeton, and the crowd is mostly locals. Shisha costs 10 KM, cocktails 5 KM. It’s tucked down an alley off Braće Fejića: look for the neon sign.

A cultural centre with a bar in the courtyard. It’s not a club, but the vibe is lively: live bands, poetry slams, and cheap rakija (2 KM a shot). Opens at 18:00, closes when the last person leaves. Ten minutes’ walk from the Old Bridge.
