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.

Great little hole in the wall bar, which you literally have go through a hole in the wall to get there. No food, just beer and a couple of other drinks available. Credit cards are accepted. You can watch the young people jumping off the cliffs into the Adriatic, I joined them and jumped more than few times, quite a fun time. Great views of the Adriatic sea.

Was a little disappointed at this venue. I had high hopes of tables and chairs to sit and have a drink and well a something to eat. It is truly a bar. It has beautiful views, and steps to the water. Some younger adults jumped from a rock out into the water. If you are young and want to experience the sun, steps and water this is the place for you.

The views were stunning, just beautiful. Was quite a hike to get to, walking up lots of steps, seemed never ending, but worth it for the views. Drinks were out of plastic cups, which I understand I guess. Limited range of drinks. No toilets & no tables & chairs, so unless you get a spot to sit on a rock, bench, you’re standing. Was quite busy the day we went & only saw one staff member working. Lots of youngsters jumping off the rocks into the sea. Was nice to say we had experienced it.

Went to both locations 1 and 2. Don’t go if you have mobility issues- both are hard to find and walk to, and once there both have alot of steps to go down. Thought this place looked nicer online than for what it was. View is nice but there’s no tables and chairs. Theres no food. Theres no bathrooms. Drinks served are very limited- one location there were no drinks being served at all, other location only had beer no cocktails or wine. Also it’s very hard to find even using gps. When you finally arrive after doing that walk it just didn’t seem worth it not sure why its all hyped up lol

After climbing about a thousand steps, you find your way through a hole in the wall of Dubrovnik. On the other side is an incredible view of The Adriatic Sea. It's a great spot to relax and have a beer 🍻🍻

Lovely views of the sea and Lokrum island from this little bar. It doesn’t have a lot of choice and you get plastic/paper cups so it’s rather no frills, but it’s a lovely spot for some early Spring sunshine or to watch the sunset.

This property will allow you to enjoy one of the most spectacular views of the city with a drink at sunset.

Must do experience in Dubrovnik. Catch the setting sun with a beer in your hand from this unique bar dug into a platform that you access through a small door in the southern city wall. Very cool experience.

Buza bar is a bar nestled in the old walls on the cliff edge with great views. The bar is nice but it is quite small and gets very busy especially when the sun is out or to watch the sunset . The staff however were quite rude and dismissive and the drinks are quite expensive and very limited options. Worth a visit for the views , but plenty of nicer bars around the city. Would not rush back

We wanted to sit and have a couple of drinks and watch the sun go down. This was a great place to do just that.Music created a relaxed vibe. It does accept card payments, despite saying it doesn’t on the menu. Not keen on wine served in paper cups, however, I’d still recommend it and would definitely go back.
