4 Best Nightlife in Rijeka, Kvarner

Located on a small town square next to St. Vitus Cathedral, this cozy spot is a hangout spot for locals in their twenties and thirties and for beer lovers and coffee drinkers alike. It offers an excellent choice of Croatian and international beers in a friendly low-key atmosphere. Local bands are often featured on weekends, and occasionally you might hear some Irish music. 

This local café is on the main square near the Rijeka Central Market and Croatian National Theater, making it a fantastic spot for a pre-theater cocktail or post-opera snack. It also has delicious eggs Benedict and chia smoothie bowls for breakfast and juicy hamburgers and crispy fries for lunch.

The best party place in town, this nautically themed pub is like an old sailboat with its dark wood, long bar, and maritime decorations. Music ranges from acoustic and R&B to dance, and you can enjoy it until the wee hours on Friday and Saturday.

For those who might remember summer nights sitting on a terrace, drinking, dancing, chatting, and actually being able to hear what others are saying, the River Pub is the place to make it all come back. They have a regular pub quiz crowd on Wednesdays, too.
