26 nightlife Someone came to party Kino Bosna B-2; B-3; C-2; D-2, Alipašina 19. This theatre-cum-bar is ground zero for Sarajevo’s alternative crowd and home to the cheapest beer in town. The bar is essentially just the lobby of an old cinema - which still shows a film every once and while and hosts the odd thrash/metal/ hardcore concert - but most nights the place is packed and the party is forced to spread outside onto the terrace, front steps and street. In recent years it’s made its way onto the tourist map, so you probably won’t be the only foreigner there. QOpen 10:00 - 03:00. J6ENBS L.A. C-2, Merhemića Trg 14, tel. (+387) 61 432 184/(+387) 61 376 009. L.A. is a new cocktail bar and organizes events and fashion shows worthy of attention. Summer time out in the big garden is crowded and lively. QOpen 00:00 - 24:00. PEX Marquee B-4, Obala Kulina Bana 6, tel. (+387) 61 132 117, info@ilijas.net, www.marquee.net.tf. Legend has it that Marquee never closes till the last customer passes out. You know you’ve had a premium night-out in Sarajevo when you end up in Marquee, with its rock memorabilia, chatty, friendly staff and the most-grafittied toilets in south-eastern Europe. Bottled beers and cocktails flow, while a mixture of leathery old rockers, gorgeous Sarajevo über-babes, mindbogglingly drunk EU peacekeepers and students happily rub shoulders. Most of them will have forgotten the following day that they went to Marquee at all. Fantastic. QOpen 00:00 - 24:00. JX Maršal Tito Bihacka 19, tel. (+387) 61 92 30 42. This used to be a great, very individual bar themed on the late Marshal Tito, set on the edge of the river in Hrasno a couple of kilometres outside the centre of town. Now it’s moved to a new site behind the National Museum, with a huge outdoor seating area and a collection of machine-guns displayed on the walls. To find it, just look for the disused tanks and abandoned Mi-17 Helicopter gunship on the grass behind the National Museum. It’s next to them. QOpen 10:00 - 24:00. Mash B-3, Branilaca Sarajeva 20/I, tel. (+387) 33 48 90 33/(+387) 33 205 490. Much of Sarajevo’s charm is that many of its attractions are not apparent, or even hidden. Were it not for the noise coming from its location on the first-floor terrace of a nondescript tower-block next to The National Theatre, you could easily miss this hip, stylish bar, with seats outside on a terrace. Popular with a younger crowd, it is often refurbished. Expect it to look like the interior of a ocean-liner, a spaceship or a drawing-room. QOpen 09:00 - 24:00. JBX Nostalgija Mukevita 10. Like name, like bar. Post-war melancholia and fond memories of better days seem to hang over this tiny, somehow charming establishment set in an alley just off Ferhadija. The owner and barman’s an old Sarajevo DJ and soldier of note, the clientele a variety of semi-pickled Sarajevo regulars who float on the lesser fringes of the city’s artistic community. Fun, but not exactly lively. QOpen 10:30 - 24:00. Opera B-3, Branilaca Sarajeva 25, tel. (+387) 61 156 943, f ax (+387) 33 221 940, inf o@ caffebaropera.ba, www.caffebaropera.ba. Located opposite Mash bar, Opera’s high stools and tall tables pull in a twenty-and-thirty something crowd, with good cocktails and slick service, and occasional live music. The back room is filled with low-slung sofas, popular with younger couples and teenagers on dates, all of whom tend to live at home with their parents. They sip warm Nescafé and fruit juices and snog their way contentedly through the afternoon and early evening. QOpen 07:00 - 24:00. JBX Pravda B-3, Radićeva 4c, tel. (+387) 33 55 82 15, pravdasarajevo@gmail.com, www.pravdasarajevo. com. Sarajevo’s beauti fully designed bar of the moment boasts comfortable sofas and high stools on which to perch and lounge, and good Croatian and Argentinian wines and snacks. Spot Bosnian President Haris Silajdzic on sofas next to Bosnian and Serb models and designers, international diplomats and local celebrities. Great fun. QOpen 09:00 - 02:00. JA6EBX Ribica B-3, Kaptol 5, tel. (+387) 33 21 53 69. Meaning ‘little fish,’ this is the most original bar in Sarajevo. Opera, theatre and concert posters line the walls, customers like Džejla Glavović, Bosnia’s supermodel face of Ralph Lauren, sip coffee and beers, comfortable stools and plush banquettes with gilded mirrors bring to mind a cross between a mini-brasserie from Paris, a Viennese coffee house and a bar. Eccentric owner Slobodan plays country rock, folk and blues from a 13,000-strong song collection. QOpen 09:00 - 24:00. JBX Casinos Coloseum Club A-2, Terezije bb (KSC Skenderija), tel. (+387) 33 250 860/(+387) 33 250 880, fax (+387) 33 250 861, coloseum@hit-bih.com.ba, www.coloseum-club.com.

(+387) 61 712 985/(+387) 61 916 565. One of the only urban hangouts in Sarajevo.

A resident DJ turns out everything from David Bowie to The Beach Boys to FatBoy Slim. A half-litre of Sarajevsko or Tuborg will set you back €1.5, cocktails €3. Boisterous. QOpen 08:00 - 01:30. YABX Guinness Pub B-4, Ferhadija 28, tel. (+387) 61 72 22 60. At first appearance this joint looks more like an alleyway with a makeshift bar at the end of it than a proper pub, but there are actually several sprawling cellar-type rooms downstairs and the place would be pleasant enough if not for the excruciatingly bad vocal techno music they tend to blast. However, it’s impossible to recommend a place called Guinness Pub when - and we can’t stress this enough - they don’t have any Guinness! No draught, no bottles, no cans, nothing. Simply unforgiveable. QOpen 10:00 - 02:00. PJAEB Autumn 2009 27
