9 editor picks in Belgrade.
Belgrade's nightlife is famous, and its drinking splits between polished cocktail rooms and the old kafana terraces. Bitters Bar on Kapetan-Misina in Dorcol leads the serious cocktail end, while the Cetinjska 15 bar cluster in Stari Grad packs a former brewery courtyard with bars. Up in Skadarlija, the historic kafanas Tri Sesira and Sesir Moj on Skadarska pour the city's older, music-led tradition.
