5 reviewed party hostels · from €6.66/night · Hostelworld rated
Belgrade's nightlife has a reputation that precedes it across Europe, and it earns every word. The floating river clubs, known locally as splavovi, line the banks of the Sava and Danube and don't really get going until after midnight. Savamala, the old warehouse district near the river, is the creative heart of the scene: Gornji Grad street and the surrounding blocks are packed with bars, underground clubs, and late-night kafanas that blur the line between DJ set and live Serbian folk. The hostel scene here punches well above its weight. You'll find social common rooms, organised pub crawls, and staff who actually know where the good nights are happening. Dorm beds typically run from €10 to €20 per night, making Belgrade one of the most affordable party cities in Europe. Arrive without a plan and you'll still find something worth staying up for.

How Belgrade's nightlife zones break down
Belgrade's most talked-about nightlife district sits along the Sava riverfront, roughly between the old railway bridge and Brankov Bridge. Converted warehouses and derelict buildings now house clubs like Klub Mladosti and the iconic Mikser House. The streets are lively from around 10pm and peak well past 3am.
Belgrade's cobblestoned bohemian quarter runs off Skadarska Street, a short walk north-east of Republic Square. It's lined with traditional kafanas serving rakija and live Serbian folk music from early evening. Less about pounding techno, more about sitting with a bottle of local wine and genuinely good live music until the small hours.
The floating river clubs, or splavovi, run along the Sava riverbank between Brankov Bridge and the Ada Ciganlija peninsula. Venues like Freestyler and River Pub draw massive weekend crowds for commercial house and turbo-folk. Most hostels in the city centre are a 15 to 25-minute taxi ride away, with fares rarely exceeding 500 RSD.
Where the hostel pub crawls end up, and where to go on your own
One of Belgrade's most famous splavovi, Freestyler sits on the Sava river and pulls in thousands on weekend nights. Expect commercial house, turbo-folk, and a crowd that's equal parts locals and tourists. Dress smart and arrive after midnight for the best atmosphere.
An open-air summer club perched on the riverbank, 20/44 attracts a younger crowd with electronic music and a relaxed vibe during the day that shifts into full party mode after dark. Sun loungers and cocktails by afternoon, techno and dancing by night. It's one of the more affordable nights out on the splav strip.
Belgrade's go-to underground techno club occupies a raw industrial space beneath a motorway flyover near the Danube. International and local DJs play through a punishing sound system until well into the next morning. The crowd is serious about music, so leave the button-down shirt at the hostel.
Part cultural centre, part bar, part club, Mikser House is in the core of Savamala and hosts everything from art exhibitions to DJ nights and live gigs. Drinks are cheap by western standards, the outdoor terrace fills up fast on warm evenings, and the programme changes nightly so check their socials before turning up.
A long-running comedy club and bar in the city centre that packs in a mixed crowd most nights of the week. It's a good early-evening stop before the clubs open, with craft beers and cocktails at reasonable prices. The comedy shows are in Serbian, but the atmosphere translates.
Tucked into the streets near Skadarlija, Kadiluk is a compact neighbourhood bar that locals actually drink at. Rakija starts from around 150 RSD a shot and the playlist veers between old-school rock and Balkan classics. Gets crowded by 11pm on weekends.
A small but well-regarded cocktail bar near Republic Square with a knowledgeable bar team and a menu that goes well beyond the standard mojito. Cocktails run from around 500 to 700 RSD. It's the kind of place to start a night rather than end one, and the staff are happy to recommend what's on nearby.
