A Rakia Bar In Serbia

There is a Rakia Bar that has opened up in the centre of Belgrade a couple of years ago. It has its own Rakia Bar Website, which is where these extracts orginate, the site is well worth a visit.

The Serbians of course have also a great reputation for homemade rakia or brandy making and a love of the drink as much as thge Bulgarians. I don't know of any bar that is called Rakia in Yambol, Bulgaria which is quite surprising considering the City is in the centre of one of the biggest rakia production areas in Bulgaria. Added to which is the fact that there are literally hundreds of bars and restaurants all that serve rakia as the first chose for many customers.

There is also a second Rakia Bar in Belgrade which also features on the site, again, have a peek. If ever you are in Belgrade give either Rakia Bar a visit, I certainly will if I'm in the area.

Finally, it would be interesting to see if anyone has actually been there and visited the Rakia Bars, if you have, let us all know what you thought.

Rakia Bar is set in the centre of Belgrade, in the part called Dorćol, at 5 Dobračina Street which is located between Vasina and Braće Jugovića Streets. The location is one of the most beautiful in the city making Rakia Bar almost equally remote from Kalemegdan, Knez Mihajlova Street and the Square of Republic, close by the National Theatre and National Museum. Rakia Bar was opened June 17th, 2006. Brandy is to Serbian people what whisky is to Britons, cognac to Frenchmen, metaxa to Greeks or tequila to Mexicans. The distillate of the finest fruit, usually plum, has been refined for years and represents one of the expressions of Serbian national being. Brandy is present in all the occasions significant to Serbs, both when they celebrate and when they mourn. www.rakiabar.com
