Rank 6. Peaches & Cream
Cocktail Bar
Cartoon reruns play on loop while serious cocktails arrive at the bar, and that contrast is more or less the whole thesis of Peaches & Cream. It's a neighborhood cocktail bar near the Trešnjevka market, with a deliberately loose, anything-goes room that keeps the mood easy without letting the drinks slip. Named a Discovery by The 50, it has become a reference point for Zagreb's cocktail scene, which is high praise for somewhere that doesn't seem to be trying very hard.

Rank 6. Urania Bar
Cocktail Bar
A former cinema with an all-glass facade, Urania Bar pulls off the dual life of specialty coffee shop by day and cocktail bar by night without either half feeling like an afterthought. Tucked off the main road on Kvaternik Square, the high-ceilinged room centers on a communal table where laptops and Negronis coexist peacefully. Cocktails run from reworked classics to originals, and tapas help justify a longer stay.
