About
Swanky Monkey Garden is located in the true heart of Zagreb and offers guests an all in one experience. Its industrial design creates an attractive interior and exterior, cool vibes and a great atmosphere. This unique place was able to maintain the old feels from the days of being a dry cleaning factory, while creating an unforgettable experience with its two bars and three terraces. Guests can enjoy parties during the day and night every week, DJ’s, live bands or simply enjoy the breeze on the terrace. Swanky Monkey Garden is based on the concept of being authentic just like its rich cocktail selection and many other funky drink offerings. The staff is crazy, friendly and awesome and is waiting for you to come and enjoy our cool place!

An interesting location in the city centre. It's not difficult to find it - it's located in one of the centre's courtyards, in between two buildings.
We had ice cold juices, which were prepared pretty quickly. The staff was kind and friendly. Be sure to stop by this small green oasis in the city center.

Absolutely love this place. We threw a graduation party here and the staff (especially Gloria from the bar) were ROCK STARS! The new cocktail list is outstanding with "Vanilla No Ice" being the hit of the party. Thank you Swanky for making our night so memorable. We are patrons forever!

Great place for a cocktail.
Busy with a good atmosphere and attentive staff.
Prices were very reasonable.
Nice smoking area with blankets and heaters.
We were the oldest people here but wouldn’t hesitate to come back again!

Beautiful and calm place in the middle or urban city center of Zagreb. The waitress was really nice and helped us choose the best mango lemonade. The bar is refreshing for summer day and some live jazz music would be a dream to hear from there...

A place where you get all the versions of a bar in once.
inside you have the classic, almost rock-styled bar, on the first terrace is a general terrace look, on the second floor garden you have the bahama feelings, with plenty of room to sit down, a bar next to the second floor garden...and even for summer there is a pool. Beautifully made as a passageway from the main street, Ilica, to get a little piece of heaven. Music is great as well as the quality of service and price of drinks

Awesome cocktails and great service! We had Aperols, Hugos, Swanky Mojito, Gin, etc. All drinks were delicious and the service by Dusko was fabulous! Super nice and friendly. Would recommend!

Seek out the Swanky Monkey Garden! Behind a hostel that appears to have just as much style is a phenomenal bar with multiple terraces, tents and the like, that serves great drinks and just a very cool vibe. We didn't want to leave.

The place is decorated really well and the cocktails are on point. They have several sections and pool. A hostel is attached somehow but I didn’t check out prices there. But a really cool spot and I wouldn’t go to Zagreb with out stopping here for a cocktail.

Great drinks, amazing space and atmosfere but the service is too slow. When the waitress finally came to take our order she was a bit rude which kind ruined our experience.

After waiting for 15 minutes I asked if we can order. 3 times. Then we got a very arrogant waitress. Too bad, I love this place. Restrooms are especially cool.

è possibile fare l'aperitivo? Ovvero prendere un drink e mangiare qualcosa mentre si sorseggia??

Thank you for your question!
We have a bar where we are making pretty good drinks so you don't have to go far if you are looking for a good bar. :)
