Tombstone Saloon B-4, Eipprova 19, tel. (+386)<br />

1283 14 13. Complete with authentic cowboy saloon-type<br />

swinging doors to get unceremoniously thrown through<br />

after you’ve drunk the bar dry and insulted the sheriff, this<br />

ridiculously silly, wooden-clad, cowboy-theme bar comes<br />

with the usual prerequisite wagon wheels on the ceiling<br />

and cowboy hats on the walls, plus classic rock howling<br />

out of the CD player and sport on the television vying<br />

for attention at the same time. Definitely one to put on<br />

your pub-crawl list if that’s what you’ve come here to do.<br />

Zlata Ladjica B-3, Jurčičev Trg 1, tel. (+386) 12 41 06<br />

96, info@zltim.si, www.zlataladjica.si. The ‘Golden Ship’<br />

has lots of vaulted ceilings, pictures of sailing ships, rigging,<br />

sails and a DJ booth inside a wooden barrel, the rum selection<br />

is surprisingly lacking in variety and there’s not a sailor<br />

in sight, but it beats the lacklustre banality of most Irish pubs<br />

any day of the week. As well as the main bar area there are<br />

also a couple of smaller rooms for more intimate moments,<br />

and one of central Ljubljana’s biggest terraces. There’s often<br />

€3 drink specials at the weekend - check the signs outside<br />

for what’s on offer. QOpen 08:00 - 01:00, Sun 10:00 - 22:00.<br />

PTJA6UEGBKXSW<br />

Žmauc A-3, Rimska 21, tel. (+386) 1251 03 24. Ask<br />

any tuned-in local to make a list of their favourite bars and<br />

they’re almost certain to put this place on the list. Covered<br />

in quality graffiti outside and always featuring a huddle of<br />

interesting-looking individuals smoking suspiciously large<br />

cigarettes by the entrance, the exterior is but a mild prelude<br />

to what’s inside. A smallish L-shaped bar is packed day and<br />

night with more strange characters amidst an interior design<br />

scheme straight from the pages of a Manga comic. Excellent<br />

for coffee or something a little stronger. Highly recommended.<br />

QOpen 07:30 - 01:00, Sat 10:00 - 01:00, Sun 18:00 - 01:00.<br />

Billiards<br />

7edma Lukna J-2, Šmartinska 152 (BTC Hala A), tel.<br />

(+386) 1585 14 89. On the basement level in BTC’s Hala<br />

A shopping centre, this place does a commendable job of<br />

hiding its existence from the general public - not a difficult<br />

feat when your main entrance is at the bottom of a loading<br />

ramp. Despite their modern location they have the good<br />

sense to turn the lights down low enough to maintain a<br />

certain level of seediness that should be obligatory for any<br />

self-respecting pool hall. Perhaps most importantly the<br />

tables are nice and prices low: €5-7 per hour for groups and<br />

only €2 for loners who prefer to play by themselves. QOpen<br />

08:00 - 24:00, Fri, Sat 08:00 - 01:00, Sun 12:00 - 24:00.<br />

Biljardna Hiša Parmova 25, tel. (+386) 1236 20 12,<br />

www.biljardna-hisa.com. Ljubljana’s most popular billiards<br />

place is a few minutes walk north of the city centre in Bežigrad.<br />

Consisting of one large open space underneath exposed wood<br />

rafters the interior feels rather barn-like, which is pretty much<br />

exactly what we look for in a pool hall. There’s also a large glassenclosed<br />

self-service smoking area - although unfortunately they<br />

have yet to cram any pool tables in there. You can expect at least<br />

a short wait for a table at the weekends, so don’t forget to get<br />

your name on the list. QOpen 10:00 - 24:00. ALX<br />

Casinos<br />

The automated casino, or gaming saloon, has arrived in a big<br />

way - no more croupiers saying rien ne va plus, but no more<br />

strict dress code either, though you still won’t get in wearing<br />

jogging clothes. You’ll need to be 18 and carry ID to enter.<br />

Casino Kongo Ljubljanska 65, 1290 Grosuplje,<br />

tel. (+386) 1781 02 00, info@kongo-hc.com, www.<br />

kongo-hc.com. An African-themed gaming hall with<br />

electronic roulette and scores of slot machines. Once<br />

inside, soft drinks and food are on the house, though<br />

there are two African restaurants (plus the ‘Kanibal’ selfservice<br />

buffet) on site too. QOpen 12:00 - 24:00, Fri<br />

12:00 - 02:00. Admission €10 (includes gambling tickets).<br />
