Sarajevo 84 in Ljubljana - a nostalgia bar

One of the greatest modern achievements of Yugoslavia seems to have been to have hosted the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo in 1984 - so much so that in Ljubljana, now a different country, there is a bar that commerates this event and all things Sarajevo - I don't know if this is an indication that the Bosnians are a party people and have exported themed bars, a little like the Irish but if you are ever there and fancy some good Balkan cuisine, then this is the place to be! The black and white tourism videos add a touch of the surreal whilst the fact that it is a cavern bar make it a genuinely great night out.

The recommended dish is the Cevapi - small meat sausages served with bread and fresh onions - just make sure you clean your teeth before trying to talk to anyone as the smell is quite pungent!
