Visitors praise Buža Bar for its stunning sea views and unique experience of drinking through a hole in the wall, with some enjoying cliff jumping. However, many complain about the limited drink selection, lack of food, no toilets, and the absence of tables and chairs, making it a no-frills, standing-room-only venue.

About this place Buža Bar

Buža Bar is the most famous bar in Dubrovnik and one of the most dramatically situated drinking spots in Europe — a cliff-side venue carved into the rock of the promontory outside the Old City walls, with platforms suspended above the Adriatic and an unobstructed view of the open sea to the southwest. The name means 'hole in the wall' in Croatian, referencing the small gap in the city walls through which you exit to reach the bar. Buža is not a gay bar, but it is a firmly gay-friendly one — the international tourist demographic that discovers it through Dubrovnik's tourist economy is diverse, and the bar's atmosphere of wonder at its own setting transcends social divisions. Arriving for sunset — when the limestone of the Old City walls glows golden and the sea turns deep blue below the platform — is one of the great experiences Dubrovnik offers any visitor, LGBTQ+ or otherwise. Come early in summer: the platform fills quickly and the views are worth the wait.

Such a fun and unique spot in Dubrovnik! Buža Bar is literally tucked into the cliffs overlooking the Adriatic, and the views are incredible. It’s the perfect place to grab a drink, sit by the water, and watch all the action. The people-watching is especially great with everyone swimming and cliff diving right in front of you — very entertaining even if you have absolutely no intention of jumping yourself! 😂 Definitely worth stopping by for a drink and the experience. One of those places that just feels quintessentially Dubrovnik.

The position is excellent, and the rest.....no tables, drink in hands, no glasses.....location only for young partygoers. Expensive

Amazing location on the cliff edge. Offers a wide range of drinks, places to swim and rock jumping. No places to sit though
