This is not a bar, but more of an autonomous area in Ljubljana, where the underground art scene meets hip bars and street art. It’s actually inside a few ex-military barracks, and is truly a cultural hub of the city. If you aren’t afraid of a bit of an adventure, then come here. This isn’t a place for those afraid of the punk attitude, but those looking for a home made back-alley drink; the “Bear Blood” shot, or the local Pivo (beer). The people here are always great fun, and you will have no trouble finding someone to converse with. It’s definitely a lot of fun! Try Jalla Jalla, a bar in the area that subsequently sells the cheapest beer in the city. It gets quite busy in the evening, which is no surprise once you make it here!

Very cute art on the buildings but during the day you don’t quite know what to do there. There are no food trucks, concept stores or stands. There’s a couple of bars with sketchy looking zonked people staring into space, didn’t really feel inviting to walk in and have a glass. I went there once at 3 pm and once at 7 pm, both gave me the same impression. A little dilapidated and not too intuitive for the newcomers.

Is a worth visiting place if you like an urban vibe with graffiti’s and art around. However , you MUST consider that the crowd around the place will make you feel extremely unsafe. I went during the day and stayed like five minutes as I had to almost run as a strange dude was following me for a long period of time.

Cool location with a lot of alternative art and music. A bit more...orderly? than some of the similar places in Europe. Not quite as good as NL or Denmark but close and has a similar rule about photos of people. Police are stationed nearby in a car and lots of smoke about.

1 | A somewhat unusual spot that serves as a hub for alternative art. It’s free to visit, photogenic, and located just an 8-minute walk from Ljubljana’s main train station. 2 | On the flip side – the area is full of rather odd people, and some seemed like they might be under the influence of mysterious substances. A few of them stared at me in a strange way. Much of the “art” here consists of political slogans. 3 | I wouldn’t recommend visiting this squat after dark, especially for women or those less adventurous.

Amazing graffiti space. If you want to see something really different from most sightseeing places, come here - surely during the day if you want to see the colourful graffiti all around the place. If you feel uncomfortable with the smell of weed and some strange stares at you, definitely don't come here in the evening :)

I'm not really sure what to make of this place. Yes, there is a lot of pretty cool graffiti and sculptures but it felt uncomfortable and odd walking around here. When we were here there were groups of people who were obviously under the influence of substances and drink. Not sure it's somewhere to visit at night. I know this place used to be barracks and now it's an alternative and subculture space but I need someone to explain this area to me as I don't quite understand it. Didn't spend all that long here as it just felt odd and uncomfortable.

It's OK, not as cool and hip as I would have expected! Still worth a visit if you like graffiti and a bit of an alternative lifestyle.
