Club Calamus

Mostar


Perched on top of an inauspicious-looking office building in the bombed-out part of town, this urbane rooftop bar offers cocktails and engrossing city views. There's no sign: walk into the lobby and take the left-hand elevator to the 5th floor. It regularly hosts live music, usually of a jazzy persuasion.
