Novi Beograd's bar scene is dominated by the splavovi — the floating clubs and bars moored along the Sava and Danube riverbanks. These are the main event, particularly in summer, and they range from relaxed afternoon drinking spots to full-on nightclubs that run until sunrise. Most visitors to Belgrade's nightlife end up here eventually, even if they start in Stari Grad.
Away from the splavovi, the commercial areas around the Arena and Ušće shopping centre have the usual selection of cafe-bars that Serbian cities do well: good coffee, cheap beer, and long opening hours. These are neighbourhood haunts rather than destinations in themselves.
