Most of the drinking in Dubrovnik takes place outdoors for much of the year. Most of the area behind the Cathedral, Buniceva poljana, becomes one big outdoor bar in the spring and summer. The locals tend to hang out in the area between the Old Town and Gruz, where a strip of flashy bars have turned ‘bana Jelacica’ into what the locals call ‘Bourbon Street’. The nightlife in Dubrovnik is mainly in the Old Town. The town does not have that many nightclubs and the Stradun seems to be the place to be at night. All the shop canopies roll back and the chairs come out transforming the street into a processional of exuberance!
