Croatia · DRINKING TOURS
Here are 4 drinking tours that repay the slot, each with its price, its running time and who it suits. The first is first for a reason, so start there.
Start at Sanctuary Cantina in Split at 9 pm and follow a private guide through up to five bars and clubs. You receive a welcome drink or shot at each stop, then finish near Ovčice Beach. Guides named John, Jo, and Hendrick have led some evenings. Expect socializing, walking, and changing nightlife venues rather than a quiet tasting tour.
“5 bars. A welcome drink at each one along with the opening drink. Well worth the cost. Great pub crawl!”
Start at 9:30 pm by Dubrovnik’s Big Onofrio Fountain, then move through Elyx Night Club, Top G, and Club Revelin. Expect an open bar with vodka, gin, or whiskey mixers, glow paint, welcome shots, photo props, and a small group capped at 10. Hosts Peter and Paola have led particularly well-organized nights.
“The club Revlin you go to is good and overall it’s pretty good value for what you pay. Met some new people also which was good.”
From the Travel Agency Old Town in Omiš, you’ll cruise the Cetina River in a shaded glass-bottom boat with floor windows, cushions, and a quiet engine. The ride ends at Radman Mills, an 18th-century water mill and beer garden, where you get 30 minutes for drinks, a short walk, or a swim. No guide is included.
Visit Dubrovnik Beer Company for a one-hour brewery tour led by a brewery guide, with a look at the brewing process, four 1.5 dcl beer samples, and food. Guides such as Nikolina and brewmaster Rokko have led sessions. The group is small, the taproom is casual, and the meeting point is easy to reach by public transport.
“This tour was very informative. A very thorough explanation on how beer is brewed. The tasting was delicious and the tacos were very good. Nice to meet and share with people from all different countries.”
Pick a deck, a park or a cellar.
