Swanky Monkey Garden is a hip bar and hostel set in a restored courtyard just off Ilica, decorated with vintage furniture, salvaged materials and quirky flea-market finds. Its leafy garden is a relaxed spot for cocktails and craft beer by day, while DJ nights and events give it a lively buzz after dark. Popular with a young, international crowd, it captures Zagreb’s creative, laid-back nightlife and makes an easy, atmospheric place for a drink in the centre.
