The Best Bars in Brcko, Bosnia

Have you noticed almost every town and city in the world has an Irish Pub? You’ll find plenty around Bosnia in Sarajevo and Banja Luka as well as here in Brcko. Regulars head to Pub Old Dubliner for their selection of local and imported beers including different types of draft. The live music is a major factor too. Compared to other bars in Brcko, the Dubliner is slightly more expensive, but it’s nothing compared to the likes of a €5+ for a pint in Dublin City. If you’re in Brcko and want to meet locals, head down to this spot. Music usually starts in the early evening.

The Balkan Pub is one of the hottest spots in Brcko. A wooden exterior makes the bar look unique and stand out while the interior gives off a traditional vibe. The menu has a selection of drinks including different kinds of coffee, several types of both bottled and draft beer as well as cocktails. Prices are low and the music in the evening attracts locals until the Balkan Pub almost bursts at its seams. If you do visit, expect to be the centre of attention since few tourists drink here.

The outdoor seating area on Tri Sobe’s shaded patio is a favourite spot in the summer. Drinkers of all ages come to enjoy a few beers and spend quality time with their friends. In the evening, loud music attracts young adults for a few hours of fun. Visitors consistently get excellent service and enjoy the inexpensive drinks. Just be aware, like in other bars in Brcko, people smoke inside.

If you want to relax with a drink in a central location near the pedestrian zone, check out Jelen Pub Brcko near DELTA Mall. The pub stocks a large selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks including a variety of local, international and bottled beers. Visitors say the staff are friendly and smiling, something not always common in the Balkans, and the pub has a warm atmosphere. The outdoor seating is a favourite during the summer. Jelen has different events on most nights of the week such as live bands, DJs and screenings of global sports events.

Caffe & Lounge Bar Elti, as the name suggests, is a café, lounge and bar in one. Visitors can sit in the indoor or outdoor area and choose between a large selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Some come for a Bosnian coffee to chitchat with their friends while others enjoy an evening of music and beer. Expect the bar to be the busiest in the late afternoon and early evening.
