Casper Bar — Restaurant in Budva

Usually my favorite bar in Montenegro and especially Budva. Have been coming to the place for years because of the great vibe, music and drinks. Last week however, the experience was dreadful. I haven't had a waiter a acting more arrogant and rude than the tall, tatooed, 'pumped alfa male' one. When trying to order a drink at the bar with either him or the barman, he pushed a away my hand from the bar twice as a means to describe I should order somewhere else(!). Staff should never touch customers, especially not like this! Unfortunately prices compared to last year have increased with at least 20-30% even though the quality of drinks (or staff) have not.

Ordered the Penente Unleashed Trapan white wine by the glass. It's made with Malvasia from Istria, Croatia. It turned out to be an organic wine, which isn't my cupa tea. It's cloudy and tasted sour, with dominant yellow plum and star fruit. Interesting complexity to make sure it's not a complete disaster for me. 5.5 EUR was rather regrettable. Unlike the establishments in the US, if you ordered it, you are stuck with it. The logic is that it's not their fault that you didn't know it's an organic wine. The service is also typical of Montenegro because they don't expect tipping. Like it or not, it's a different culture. It also depends on who your server might be, as I've encountered both awesome and stone...
