Blaznavac Cafe-Bar

Tucked away on Kneginje Ljubice 18, in the historic Dorćol area of Belgrade, Blaznavac Cafe-Bar delivers a delightful mix of history, art, and laid-back charm. Housed in a building over a century old, this bar honours its heritage by marrying a café, gallery and cocktail lounge into a cohesive, unique experience. Step in and you’ll find yourself surrounded by vivid colours, eclectic décor, and an ambience that’s part urban-bohemian, part nostalgic classic. Inside, there’s seating for about 30 guests — but head out back and the real magic happens: a spacious garden with room for roughly 100 people, lush greenery and tree-covered shade, where former stables have been transformed into an open-air oasis. The vibe here is unpretentious and welcoming: you might lounge on a vintage carriage seat, chill under the trees with friends, or enjoy a quiet drink with easy conversation. Blaznavac is known for its broad and carefully curated drink selection. Whether you want a strong espresso in the morning, a casual beer, or a handcrafted cocktail, the bar covers it all. Their cocktails stand out — imaginative, well-made, and never over-sweet — and company is served by friendly, attentive staff who match the laid-back but spirited atmosphere. But Blaznavac isn’t just about drinks. It also doubles as a gallery space: the walls display works by local and young artists, and throughout the year you may stumble upon exhibitions of paintings, prints, ceramics or photographs. There are also occasional live music events and stand-up or small-scale performances, giving the place an authentic creative-community feel. Whether you come for a morning coffee, a lazy afternoon in the garden, or an evening of cocktails and good conversation — Blaznavac adapts to your mood. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, where urban bustle fades away, and where the personality of the bar — playful yet grounded, colourful yet welcoming — becomes a reason to come back again.
