# Pics Or It Didn’t Happen: See In-The-Know Partiers In Zagreb
## 1. Močvara
The [Močvara][1]{: target="_blank"} club is located in an old industrial
building near the Sava River. For the last 18 years, it has regularly
hosted concerts, dance parties, exhibitions, performances, film
screenings, workshops and other events. The music events tend to focus
mostly on live bands, but Močvara attracts a wide range of visitors who
come to enjoy not only the bookings, but also its expansive drink menu
and the stunning wall art designed by Croatian illustrator Igor
Hofbauer.

## 2. Attack
Given that [Attack][1]{: target="_blank"} is located in an abandoned
factory-turned independent cultural center called Medika, it may be
surprising to learn that the well-known underground nightclub is
actually located in the middle of Zagreb. It often hosts psytrance,
techno, drum & bass, dub and many other alternative and indie styles
of music. It reflects its countercultural vibes with graffiti-covered
walls and urban art installations in its front yard, and so it attracts
a fittingly "alternative" crowd.

## 3. Pločnik
We highly recommend Pločnik. As its organizers explain [on
Facebook][1]{: target="_blank"}, it's a space "where people can gather,
talk, chill, drink, share, sing and dance." In fact, you can do even
more than that, as Pločnik is not only a nightclub, but also a concept
store, bar and art gallery. Its first floor houses a record shop, while
its ground and basement floors serve as party spaces with a bar and a
cozy dance floor where you can catch anything from jazz to dub, house or
trance.

## 4. Garden Brewery
[Garden][1]{: target="_blank"} is the only brewery in the world with a
gigantic six-foot disco ball---at least that we know of. It's run by the
team behind Croatia's beloved [Garden Festival][2]{: target="_blank"},
who aim to make it "a craft brewery with a twist." It serves artisanal
beers and street food, and it offers tours, tastings and special events,
which in the past have featured DJs like Young Marco and Crazy P as well
as hip-hop artists. It's a great reason to head to Zagreb's industrial
eastern area to chill in the afternoon or stay out at night.

## 5. Shock Show Industry Katran
Shock Show Industry Katran is located in an old factory. It promotes and
develops Zagreb's cultural scene with music, theater and workshops. On
the weekends, it dedicates its four different dance floors to eclectic
music programs that feature everything from house and techno to R&B
and funk. Such a broad range of offerings means that there's something
for everyone. The Industry's clientele mainly consists of young
professionals who come for great music, ever-changing decor and a
specific brand of humor that permeates the very walls of the building.

## 6. Depo
Three years ago Zagreb got a club that deviates in many ways from its
local competitors: [Depo][1]{: target="_blank"}. Located in the Katran
factory area, Depo soon became known as a go-to spot for more serious
clubbers with a taste for selectors like Ben Sims, Truncate and Aril
Brikha. In addition to bringing international headliners to Zagreb, Depo
also makes a concerted effort to promote Croatian artists, from
newcomers to longtime champions of the local club scene.
