Old City Bar Pula — Restaurant in Grad Pula

This bar in the heart of Pula’s old city is hands down one of the best spots in town. It’s not just a bar – it’s a perfectly designed mix between a laid-back pub and a vibrant event venue. The attention to detail in the interior makes it instantly welcoming, with a warm yet edgy vibe that reflects the spirit of the old city.

They’ve nailed the beer selection – whether you’re into local craft brews or classic favorites, there’s always something interesting on tap. The events are always well-curated, from live music and DJ nights to cultural happenings, making each visit feel unique.

But what truly sets this place apart is the team behind it. Super friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about creating a great atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you come for a drink and end up staying for the vibe.

If you’re in Pula, don’t miss this spot. It’s where the city’s energy meets...

Has to be a 5* as this was our temporary local on our 3 day stay in Pula in 2016. Nice bar with a large number of outside tables on the square. Most of the square favours restaurants.Norma and Liza love it. Something to do with the Port and Sailors on leave. Good sun trap. Proper pub feel inside and good place for a pee break! Pula is a working city with Tourist Hotels about 5K to the south. The city is far more interesting to visit..and drink in. Naffed off Ryanair stopped flying here..Tui are useless. 2023 update..still a great bar but restaurant prices near here are bleeping stupid. A bottle of wine minimum 30€. Most basic pizza 11€, add a topping 20€. Go for pasta tuna, meat etc take out a mortgage. How is a working city so much more than Rovinj, Rijeka and Trieste. Will stay in Old City bar and cry...

I came in shortly before closing, ordered and paid for a drink without any issue. But when I asked to use the washroom, I was told it’s not allowed because they’re closing soon. Apparently, that’s their house policy.

Well, my policy is to leave a review when the experience is this disappointing. If you’re still serving and charging guests, you should also provide basic hospitality, denying access to the washroom while happily taking payment is not acceptable.

Won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who values basic hospitality.

There are much better places around, from the bars at Forum and Giardini to Uliks or even Skandal, where staff actually respect...
