Visit These Bars on Zrće Beach

Posted in   Uncategorized   Updated on August 10, 2023    By Jelena Samaržija  

We all know Zrce beach for the booming clubs, famous festivals and 24 hour carnage but it is also home to many other types of smaller bars and fun places to go. 


Here we check out some of the best bars dotted along Zrce beach.

Backstage Zrće

We fittingly start with Backstage as so many of our nights out have actually started at this great little bar.

It is a little more unknown than some of the others, which is quite possibly a good thing! It is located all the way down the other end of the beach next to the Wakeboard watersports centre past Noa Beach Club.

Here you will find super friendly local staff, and a big menu of cheap but wondrous cocktails. It is the perfect location perfect to start your night off.

A really popular bar for Novalja’s locals and resort workers on a night out, so you know they must be doing something right!

The Burra Beach House or "The Octopus" is a new bar on the water’s edge  club in the middle of Zrce Beach.

You can’t miss it as it looks like a huge octopus (with a spider’s face, don’t ask) which towers  out from the Zrce beach sands.

Below the giant octopus is the bar where you can order a range of cocktails at fair prices.

Even though it is situated on the sea there is a lavish swimming pool on the bar terrace! This you can enjoy whilst chilling to the DJ sounds. A bar to be enjoyed both at day and at night!

Fancy something different?

Whilst the outside temperatures in Croatia can hit 30+ degrees why not take a delve into the Ice bar on Zrce beach.

Here you will experience -7 degree temperatures, lots of ice and very cool drinks! A great chance to create a very different Zrce beach memory indeed!

One super cool and unique place indeed!

Rocks Beach Club Zrće

Rocks Beach Club Zrce opened its doors in 2016.

Rocks is a bar operated by the incredible Noa team so expect similar beach vibes music and Zrce fun.

It is located right next door to the Noa Glamping Resort, it has swimming pools, wooden bridges, lots of bars and is also very capable of hosting world class music events.

Rocks is still a fairly new kid on the block but we expect to see more and more good things from this place in the coming summers.

Zen Beach Club & Lounge

Without a doubt, this new venue reminds us of a bit of VIP in Ibiza.

Opened in the summer of 2019, the Zen Beach Club & Lounge can be found between the Rocks Beach Club] and the wakeboard water sports venue.

There are big comfortable sunbeds which are complemented with a perfect white beach club design.

Zen does look and feel a lot more exclusive and VIP and this is certainly reflected in the delicious drinks and excellent tasty snacks.

Definitely a place to visit in those long afternoons if you are looking to treat yourself and keep away from the more raucous Zrce activities.
