What to do and see in Zagreb, Central Croatia: The Best Wine Bars
Zagreb got its start as two medieval fortress towns atop hills overlooking the Sava River, and was reborn in the Baroque period as center of business, perfectly located on routes connecting Central Europe to the Adriatic Sea. These days, Zagreb is the heart of contemporary Croatia’s culture, art, sports, and academics, but its history is not forgotten. The unique blend of medieval towers, 19th century palaces, open-air markets, and ancient cathedrals, make Zagreb the perfect city to explore.

I just returned from Zagreb and had a really enjoyable evening at Bornstein. I had wanted to visit a wine bar and found Bornstein when doing some research. Bornstein is located about 10 minutes walking distance past the cathedral of Zagreb. The neighborhood is very pleasant. The wine bar, set back off the road, has a nice selection of wines and food. There is also a good wine shop. This place is over 200 years old. Our waiter was well educated on Croatian wines and helped us pick a flight and explained the wines to us. Some nights Bornstein has music as well. I highly recommend a visit when you're visiting Zagreb.

Swanky Monkey Garden is located in the true heart of Zagreb and offers guests an all in one experience. Its industrial design creates an attractive interior and exterior, cool vibes and a great atmosphere. This unique place was able to maintain the old feels from the days of being a dry cleaning factory, while creating an unforgettable experience with its two bars and three terraces. Guests can enjoy parties during the day and night every week, DJ’s, live bands or simply enjoy the breeze on the terrace. Swanky Monkey Garden is based on the concept of being authentic just like its rich cocktail selection and many other funky drink offerings. The staff is crazy, friendly and awesome and is waiting for you to come and enjoy our cool place!

I discovered the swanky monkey relatively late, after it had become the hit destination in Zagreb and popular place to take photos for instagram story. I was not disappointed. A great place for daily coffee, but also for a Friday nightout. Definitely positive change in Zagreb. I really like the interior, the waiters are quick and kind, the atmosphere is great. Swanky place in full meaning of that word :) Btw mohito is great ;)
