Finding Beach Bar Dodo may be a bit of an adventure, as it’s carved into a seaside stone cliff, but Vuka says it’s definitely worth it. “It’s a perfect rest stop after visiting filming locations and just a three-minute walk outside of the city walls,” he says. “Walking through a maze of narrow streets brings you to the beachside bar, where locals chill, kayak or play water polo.” Aside from the picturesque views of the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea, you can enjoy a cocktail from the comfort of one of the rope swings at the bar.

Built into a cliff overlooking local favorite Šulić Beach and just a 10-minute walk outside Pile Gate, this is the most chill of the beach bars around the city. With its reclaimed wood decor, swings as seats around the bar, and access to the sea where you can swim between sips, it's a rustic place for a light lunch or a sundowner.

For cheap eats with stunning sea views, head to Dodo beach bar just above Sulic beach (dododubrovnik.com). Popular with pretty party people thanks to the daily DJs, the bar does unpretentious dishes such as fried fish, tuna salad, bruschetta and cocktails for a fraction of the prices of the Old Town. Or make like a local with brunch — Croatians call it marenda and it consists of beef risotto, tomato salsa, sausage and beans — at Konoba Tabak (facebook.com/KonobaTabak/).

Between the fortresses of Lovrijenac and Bokar, on Kolorina beach (which means “calm harbor”) is family-run Beach Bar Dodo—and one of the most authentic places in the city. “I like Dodo for snacks and a cold draft of local beer before swimming or directly after work,” says Vuković. It’s on the side of Sulic beach, perched atop a stone cliff overlooking the crystal-clear sea, so you can take a dip after lunch.

Where to Drink: Within the Old Town, I highly recommend a beer on a bar swing at Beach Bar Dodo, a fine glass (see: bottle) or two of wine at the oh-so-charming D’vino Wine Bar, a late night beverage at Buzz Bar, and a beer with an unmatched location at the expensive-but-must-do Buža Bar. And then there’s the classic BYO experience on the pier of the West Harbor, if you feel so inclined.

One of our favorite beach bars in Dubr ovnik is Beach Bar Dodo, located on the hillside of a small bay near the iconic Old Town. Beach Bar Dodo is perfect for relaxation with its laid-back atmosphere and stunning views of the Šulić Beach and Lovrijenac Fortress. You can enjoy delicious cocktails or go down to the water for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking, right underneath the bar.

Beach Bar Dodo is the perfect respite from the crowds and noise of Dubrovnik. Overlooking the sea, cliffs and the sky this great beach bar is situated in Sulic beach, just a few minutes’ walk from the heart of the Old Town. It offers beautiful views, nice cold drinks and great but relaxed service.

Located in a remote area of Sulic Beach, under the historic Lovrjenac fort, lies the Beach Bar Dodo. You may take the Adriatic Sea’s breathtaking view from this hidden jewel. Two friends opened the bar as a labour of love in 2015, and it has since become a popular hangout during the warm months.

If you’re looking for a relaxed beach vibe without the crowds of Banje, head to Beach Šulić, right below Fort Lovrijenac. It’s a small, rocky cove that feels more local, with calm, clear water that’s perfect for swimming or just dipping your feet after a long day of exploring.

My favorite of these four bars in Dubrovnik is Beach Bar Dodo. It is actually outside the city walls, about a 10 minute walk, but so worth it!. When you walk through this hole, you will find an amazing covered bar with adorable beach decor and full on swings for bar seats!

Start your day with a breathtaking view over the Fort of Lovrijenac at Dodo Beach Bar. Return in the evening for cocktails and a fun-filled night. Enjoy the vibrant atmosphere as you sip on your favorite cocktail and watch the sun set over the Adriatic Sea.

No, the swing bar is not a wife-swapping venue, as the name suggests. Rather, it’s a seat suspended by ropes or chains, on which someone may sit and swing back and forth. Tired of the busy bars inside the Old Town?

If you are looking for an adventure in Dubrovnik, then search for Beach Bar Dodo. The reason why I say that finding it is going to be an adventure is the fact that it lies on a seaside stone cliff.

For a beachside meal, head to Dodo Beach Bar, which serves up delicious grilled seafood and refreshing cocktails right on the sand.
