Mali Medo

Mali Medo is a craft brewpub at Ulica Ivana Tkalcica 36, on Tkalciceva, the pedestrian street of cafes and bars that runs along the lower edge of Zagreb's Upper Town. It serves house-made beers and pub food, and works as a relaxed stop within the evening street scene that makes Tkalciceva one of the busiest social strips in the capital. The items noted for the venue are craft beer and pub snacks, so the offer is straightforward: a rotating selection of beers brewed in-house, with food intended to accompany drinking rather than act as a formal meal. Croatia's craft beer scene has expanded quickly, and Mali Medo is one of the places in central Zagreb where visitors can sample it directly. The atmosphere is informal and sociable, with a young local crowd and visitors mixing, and in warm weather the street-side setting adds to the buzz. Noise levels are moderate to high on weekend evenings. Dress is casual. Typical spending is EUR 10-22 per person (roughly USD 12-25), which is inexpensive. The pub is open daily from 11 AM to 1 AM, so it can serve a late lunch, an evening drink or a late-night snack. Reservations are not usually needed as it operates on a walk-in basis, though groups may prefer to arrive early on Friday and Saturday evenings. Tkalciceva is a short walk from Ban Jelacic Square and from the funicular to the Upper Town, so the pub fits naturally into a sightseeing day that ends with an evening stroll. It pairs well with Pivnica Medvedgrad on Ilica for visitors who want to compare two different brewpub settings in the same city.
