PULA

Although local law forbids city-centre bars from opening beyond midnight, Pula does have a number of sociable and picturesque venues just outside the middle of town. Laws in Pula restrict bar opening hours meaning that most venues are closed by midnight and nightlife is limited to a number of bars in the Veruda aea of the city as well as a few larger clubs north-east of the centre.

Podroom A compact but lively bar with a good range of reasonably priced beers and cocktails just outside the city centre. Address: Budcinova 16

Cabahia This stylishly rustic bar is home to an interesting mix of locals and discerning tourists and comes into its own in the summer when candles light tables outside. Address: Širolina 4
