Split has a lively and varied night scene — from casual seaside hangouts to busy bars and late-night clubs. The atmosphere changes with the seasons: summer is energetic and crowded, while spring and autumn offer a more relaxed local vibe.

A great place to start any evening is Matejuška, the old fishermen’s pier just below the Riva promenade. It’s one of Split’s most popular open-air meeting spots, where locals and travelers gather with takeaway drinks, music, and good company before heading into town.

Charlie’s Bar

A classic backpacker hotspot in the old town — loud, energetic, and great for meeting other travelers. Ideal for starting a fun night out.

Sanctuary Bar

Laid-back and comfortable, with a good drink selection and Mexican food. Perfect for relaxed pre-drinks or an easier night.

La Linea

Simple, affordable, and low-key. A small, local-style bar where guests can enjoy drinks without the tourist rush.

Vivas Bar

Right on Narodni trg (People’s Square). Easygoing, central, and ideal for casual drinks or people-watching.
