Pink Houdini

Sarajevo


One of Sarajevo's rare 24-hour drinking spots, this quirky basement jazz and blues bar has a tree of guitars, a wacky mirrored ceiling sculpture and UV lighting that makes your gin and tonic luminescent. Late at night, doors are locked and the place may appear closed, but if you ring the bell you should get in…eventually. Live music happens sporadically.
