How much do cocktails cost in Belgrade? A 2026 price guide
Short answer: less than you'd pay almost anywhere else in Europe. Here's what a night of drinking in Belgrade actually costs in 2026, in dinars (RSD) and rough euro equivalents.
Cocktails
A signature cocktail at a proper bar runs 750–1,100 RSD (about €6.50–9.50). Classic cocktails — negroni, old fashioned, margarita — usually sit at the lower end. At Čin Čin our author's list is 750–990 RSD: the Čin-tonic is 750, most of the menu 850, the showpiece Midnight Pearls in an edible sphere is 990. For comparison, the same drink is €14–18 in Vienna or Paris.
Wine
By the glass: 350–700 RSD (€3–6). A restaurant bottle of solid domestic wine: 2,500–4,000 RSD; imported or premium 5,000–7,500 RSD. Serbian wine is the value play — a bottle of good Prokupac or Kadarka costs a fraction of a comparable French red.
Rakija and spirits
A pour of rakija: 250–500 RSD (€2–4). Domestic beer 300–400 RSD, craft 450–650 RSD. Spirits by the shot start around 350 RSD.
What a typical evening costs
Two people, three drinks each at a cocktail bar, plus a snack: roughly 5,500–7,000 RSD (€47–60) all in. The same evening in Western Europe would run double.
Tipping
Not obligatory, but appreciated: round up or leave about 10% for good service. In cash, handed directly, if you can.
The catch
There isn't one — Belgrade genuinely is this affordable, and the quality is high. The main "cost" is time: nobody expects you to drink and leave. Settle in.
