Hotpot

As the only dedicatedly queer venue in the city centre, Hotpot is a major meeting point for the city's gay and lesbian communities. This compact-sized club receives a flurry of mostly male visitors after midnight on Friday and Saturdays. Set in the smoky basement of a discreet building on Petrinjska, the entrance fee costs 20kn (€2.50) and drinks are modestly-priced: special deals on cocktails are chalked up on the boards. Musically, it's a commercial clubby vibe where EDM, RnB and camp Croatian pop set the theme.
