Pub na kraju svijeta

The English translation of this establishment's name is pub at the end of the world. Its title feels appropriate, not just because you might be taking the steep road up to the top of Mesnička, where the bar is placed, on a hot day, but also because you might end up questioning just why. There are very few reasons a visitor should find themselves in this part of the city, outside this cellar's doors. After walking down the stairs inside, such questioning may linger; Pub na kraju svijeta, with its worn seating and ultra relaxed air does not immediately impress. But, there's a nice selection of craft beer on draught here. And it's relatively cheap too. Nova Runda's strong C4 IPA is 26 kuna a half litre and the house beer, a Red Irish Ale made by Zmajsko, is just 18 kuna for the same. Half a pint in, the climb forgotten, the bar's limited charms unfold. Each of its tables houses a board game/drinking game with čovječe ne ljuti se, Rick and Morty, chess and Pokemon among those featured. The soundtrack is good too, although perhaps lucky is the customer who visits when they're playing vintage ska rather than the more rowdy punk and hardcore heard at other times. The cellar is also at least a couple of degrees cooler than outside, but it's maybe not a place to visit alone. A buddy with whom you want to chat or a group of mates who'll drink a couple would be perfect companions here.
