Romeo Bar

על המקום הזה Romeo Bar

Romeo Bar is the cornerstone of Split's gay scene — the city's most established dedicated gay venue and the social hub around which the rest of the LGBTQ+ nightlife organises. The bar operates near the waterfront and Diocletian's Palace in a location that makes it accessible to both the local gay community and the international tourists who form an increasing part of Split's LGBTQ+ demographic in summer. Romeo Bar's longevity in a social environment that has not always been accommodating to gay venues gives it a particular significance: it has operated openly in a conservative Dalmatian city through the years when Split Pride was contested and when LGBTQ+ visibility required more courage in this part of the Adriatic than in Zagreb or the Western European cities. The atmosphere is welcoming without pretension — a bar that knows its role in the community and delivers on it. For any LGBTQ+ visitor to Split, Romeo Bar is the essential first stop.
