Dubrovnik Beer Factory

Dubrovnik


The name might mislead you: this isn't, in fact, a brewery, but the selection of Croatian craft beer is good enough to justify the tag. Still, with huge murals, vaulted ceilings, historic stone details and a large beer garden tucked away in the back, the setting remains the true drawcard. It also serves food and hosts live music.
