Croatia · DRINKING TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 bar tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Meet at Sanctuary Cantina at 9 p.m. for a guided night through up to five Split bars and clubs, ending at Ovčice Beach. Expect welcome shots, a first drink, social mingling, and priority club entry. Guides may include John, Jo, or Hendrick. Drinks can be light on alcohol, so pace yourself.
“5 bars. A welcome drink at each one along with the opening drink. Well worth the cost. Great pub crawl!”
Spend seven hours cruising from Dubrovnik to Koločep, Šipan, and Lopud, with time for swimming, walks, and Šunj Beach. Lunch includes fish, chicken, or a vegetarian dish, with wine and water on board. Ana and Anabella are noted hosts, and the boat returns around sunset.
“Fab day out. Boat went off on time, staff all very friendly and helpful. Stopped at first island and then had lunch which was delicious. As much bread as we wanted and they offered seconds of main courses. Arrived back into Dubrovnik on time at 5.45 pm. Very good day”
Meet Peter or Paola at Big Onofrio’s Fountain at 9:30 p.m. for a seven-hour Dubrovnik night out. You’ll visit Top G, enjoy unlimited vodka, gin, or whiskey with mixers at Elyx, then enter Club Revelin. Expect a small group, dancing, photo props, and drinks at Revelin at your own cost.
“Average is being generous. Paid 50online, only 40euro if you book there. Crowd of about 20 which was good. Reps just led us to places, no real engagement. No body paint as advertised. Free drinks were good but wouldn't manage to squeeze in too much in 40mins. Final club is prob best in the city.”
Start at Whole Wide World Hostel with beer pong, flip cup, and an hour of unlimited beer, rum, gin, and vodka mixers. English-speaking hosts such as Anna and Renee lead you to two bars and a club, with VIP entry included. Bring cash and dress for Zagreb nightlife.
“This was one of the best experiences I've had! Great staff looking after us all, would definitely love to get around this again! WWW hostel goes off and I highly recommend this to any one that wants to have a great time in Zagreb”
Pick a harbour, a rampart or a waterfall.
