River Pub

Close to the river and, indeed, pub-like, this mainstay of Karlovac nightlife is spacious enough for its bare-brick interior to contain three pool tables but once the evening kicks in, chances are that it’ll get too crowded to use them. This is one of the few places in Karlovac when you can actually prop up the bar and, around the weekend, customers will be standing two or three deep. There’s a slightly rock touch to proceedings, hence the guitars and retro drinks ads on display, plus the range of decent whiskies. The terrace is equally busy, and the draught Karlovac flows like the nearby Kupa in summer.
