Updated October 2026
The best places to meet singles in Belgrade are KC Grad, Bitef Art Cafe, and Kolarac (Ilija M. Kolarac Endowment). Go on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday evening, when they are at their liveliest and it is easiest to start a conversation.
Belgrade goes out late and often. Evenings start with a long coffee, move to the bars of Dorćol or Savamala and, in summer, end on the river rafts after sunrise. People meet through friends and in groups, so the trick is to join something: a language evening, a course, a concert or a table at a kafana.
These ten places are real and open, checked in October 2026, from a cultural centre with a weekly language café to live-music clubs, the city's bar streets and its lake. Seasonal ones are marked as such.

Bar streetDorćolRSD RSD30s
Since the late 1990s this Dorćol street has been the city's café street, with dozens of bars and restaurants side by side. Hopping from one terrace to the next on a warm evening is a classic Belgrade night out.
Strahinjića bana, Dorćol, Beograd · Walk-in
Nightlife districtSavamala (by the Sava)RSD RSD20s
The old riverside quarter below the centre, where clubs and bars fill old buildings and arches. Nights start late and run long, and it is a good area to go out with a group and end up meeting another one.

Clubs and bars on rafts moored along both rivers, Belgrade's signature summer nightlife from about May to September, often running until dawn. Go with friends, dance, and you will leave with more.
