Wine Bars
Viticulture in Slovenia has been refined over the
centuries in the country’s three wine growing regions
producing a vast selection of excellent quality wines,
predicate wines and sparkling wines. You can encounter
all pleasures at any of the traditional gostilnas or
wine cellars found in almost every street in Ljubljana.
To make your choice easier try wines such as Teran,
Rumeni Muskat, Malvazija and Rebula from the coastal
region. Cviček, a Slovene wine with a light taste and low
alcohol is a specialty of the Posavje Region along with
wines such as Renski Rizling, Traminec, Sauvignon,
Chardonnay and Ranina.
Dvorni Bar B-3, Dvorni Trg 2, tel. (+386) 12 51 12
57, guinnesspub@siol.net, www.dvornibar.net. This
large L-shaped adventure is a pleasant café during the
day and the city’s trendiest wine bar by night. There’s
a swanky jazzy area at one end for more wine-oriented
patrons, while the other side is a little more geared
towards the restaurant crowd. With upwards of 100
varieties of wine in stock it’s a great place to sample
local vintages if you don’t have time to trek out to one of
Slovenia’s wine growing regions, and organised tastings
are held every second Wednesday from 20:00-22:00.
QOpen 08:00 - 01:00, Sun 09:00 - 24:00. (€4.50-15).

www.movia.si. The Slovenian Movia vineyards have
been producing quality plonk for longer than anyone can
remember, and this, their little showcase wine bar in the
old town, is a fine place to come and try some of their
excellent products. Found slightly hidden away inside
a little covered courtyard, Movia is barely bigger than
a telephone box, features extremely friendly staff, and
even serves a selection of food especially prepared to
compliment the wines on offer. Recommended. QOpen

round. Recommended. QOpen 12:00 - 23:00, Sat 17:00

This massive warehouse-style venue on the
southern outskirts of town has been packing in Slovene
clubbers, under one guise or another, for the better part
of a decade. It generally attracts a younger crowd that
always comes to party, and is where you’re most likely to
to find big-name international DJs in Slovenia. From time to
time it also hosts pop or rock acts and has random theme
nights, such as the reoccurring Hawaii Party, where tropical
attire is not only encouraged but obligatory. QOpen ,
Wed, Thu 21.00 - 4.00, Fri, Sat 21:00 - 05:00. Admission:
Free to €26 depending on the event (check their website

in a hotel in this part of town and your bed starts bouncing
across the room in the middle of the night, the chances
are the culprit can be found inside Club K4. A very studentoriented
club indeed, it’s hot and sweaty and the DJs play
some of the weirdest, hardest stuff in the country. Brilliant
stuff. Sunday is the pink party night, the only party night in
town for the gay community. Q Open Tue from 22:00, Wed-
Sat from 23:00, Sun from 22:00. Mon closed. Admission €7.

alternative dance tracks from hip hop to funk to reggae.

and live music venue dedicated to the glorious and mostly
unpretentious world of rock music, filled nightly with a wellbehaved
crowd in leather jackets etc, drinking the night away
and taking advantage of one of the few regular live music
venues in the city. The bar is worth visiting on its own. Long
and thin, there’s a line of old turning ventilators along one wall,
giving the place a futuristic, Mad Max feel. QOpen 08:00
- 05:00, Mon, Tue, Wed 08:00 - 04:00, Sun 18:00 - 21:00.
