As a single guy, one of my jobs when visiting a new city is to see what the nightlife is like.
Based on books, forums, and the internet, I didn’t have any real expectations about social life, good or bad, in Zagreb, Croatia.
I knew there were good looking girls in Croatia because I’ve met a handful of Croatian girls in the U.S. and they were all good looking.
Nightlife
I was only in Zagreb for a week so I obviously couldn’t go everywhere. But I did go to a few places.

Time Restaurant & Bar
The best place I went to in Zagreb was a sushi restaurant and bar called Time.
This was half a bar and half sushi restaurant separated by a windowish wall.
The whole place was not very big.
This was a nice bar where people dressed up a bit. Nice shoes and sports coats were the norm. I got there about 11:00 pm which was a bit early.
Tip: If you’re in a bar anywhere in the world, the early crowd is always 75% girls.
Apparently Time is a place where celebrities and sports stars hangout.
There are a lot of beautiful girls in Time.
When I was there, my girlfriends and I met a guy named Ivan Pazanin. Apparently he is a Masterchef with a popular TV show in Zagreb.
Very cool humble guy.
Johann Franck Bistro, Coffeehouse, Club
The second best place in Zagreb is called Johann Franck. Johann Franck is located on the town square, maybe 30 yards away from the Ban Jelacic statue.
Basically, it’s a big bar and lounge with a patio. People sit on the patio and drink coffee during the day.
In the evening there’s a restaurant on the third floor.
Finally, late at night, it turns into a crazy loud club.
The club is a young crowd, and it gets packed. It is amazing how different the place is from day to night.
La Bodega Zagreb
The third-best bar in Zagreb is called La Bodega.
This place was small but there were very good looking girls in there. Lots of couples on dates, with a few tables of 4 or 5 girls. No real mingling, just people sitting around talking to each other. But if you want to see what Croatian girls look like, they were here.
Bottom line: Croatian nightlife is not super busy (at least in October), but you will have fun.
Girls
Appearance:
Most single guys will like Croatian girls.
Croatian girls are tall, in shape, with long hair. While most of the girls are brunettes, there are some good looking blondes. Additionally, Croatian girls put effort into their appearance.
Croatian girls carry themselves with a certain elegance and self-confidence.
The only other place I’ve seen women with such grace and femininity is Moscow, Russia.
Bottom line: Croatian girls are good looking.
Attitude:
Although Croatian girls don’t have a worldwide reputation as being the hottest girls in the world, don’t tell them that, they have healthy self-confidence.
Croatian girls are nice and outgoing. They are similar to American girls.
In fact, Croatian girls will give you the first 5 minutes, but if you bore them, you will lose them – just like American girls, or girls in the West.
This is the opposite of Russian and Swedish girls. Those girls, you get the “icy first minute” then, if they like you, they’ll warm up and turn into the nicest girls in the world.
Summary: If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know I’ve traveled to about 15 countries and multiple cities.
Zagreb Croatia is one of my new favorites.
I wholeheartedly recommend it. I know I’ll go back.
