Riddle Bar
"An upscale, true speakeasy experience hidden in plain sight near the bottom of Skadarlija. Riddle Bar eschews the traditional cocktail menu entirely. Instead, you engage in a conversation with their highly skilled mixologists, detailing your preferred flavor profiles, spirits, and moods, and they custom-build a drink specifically for you. Set in an intimate, dimly lit space on the first floor of an old city building, it is the city's premier destination for serious cocktail aficionados."
The Playbook
- ↳ There is no menu—order exactly what you feel like drinking.
- ↳ Custom Gin & Botanical Mix
- ↳ Smoked Whiskey Variations
Reservations are strictly mandatory and can only be made over the phone. Do not try to just walk in on a weekend.
The bar is located on the first floor of the building. Look for the understated entrance at Skadarska 9.
Don't be afraid to give the bartenders abstract prompts (e.g., 'Make something that tastes like a pine forest in winter')—they are incredibly knowledgeable and up for the challenge.
