Whether you are in the mood for lunch & a few drinks in the afternoon, or you prefer night out with great live music - you can get it all here. I have done both, but I prefer afternoon vibe, cause in the evening music can be a bit too loud for me. Food is afordable and tasty (my choice is Mac Tire burger and "black pizza"), and you must try local Craft Beer GORŠTAK, I loved it! (IPA and Pale Ale are my favourites!) People are friendly and relaxed, service is fine. Maybe you will be surprised that smoking is allowed, even thought they serve food here, but that is very common in Banja Luka.
