    Smoky but hopping!
    We passed this bar walking to our hotel every night and it was always very smoky in the alley but loud with music and dancing. Our last night we decided to join them. We went in and danced with the young crowd. It was fun for us- depends on who you're with!

    Order the Kiva shot - do it
    This place is fun, you have seen the other reviews. It is in an alley in an old town and it's a bar. So if you want to sit in silence on a beach, don't go here. If you want to have a blast. Go get the night started here and grab a Kiva shot. Had a great time.

    Great music ....bad DJ
    Visited this bar in August so not peak tourist season. It wasn’t packed. Just enough for an atmosphere but able to get a drink without too much trouble. Honestly this was my kind of bar and the music choice was epic. The only issue is the DJ is terrible. His music choice is good. But his transitions between songs are awful. Songs with different beats, speeds everything. And he starts the next song about 30 seconds before the first song finishes so you’re listening to two songs at once. Other than that great bar.

    the most splendid evening I ever had
    spending a night in Kiva Bar was the most enjoyable night of my life. It was the most splendid evening I ever had. I loved being “talasted” with other random people drenched in sweat. It was such a good vibe and they blasted good tunes along the lines of “na na nana nana na na nana nana na na nana discoteca” and many others. So many good and unexpected moments (kissing a random middle-aged man with a receeding hairline and “bolishis” lips). I was getting progressively hornier and its all beacuse of the flourishing and beautiful vibe if the Kiva Bar. Cant wait to go back next year, or sooner, and all of you amazing, hot and sexy men watch out cause you are going to get serviced by me.

    Awfull
    I really would not recommend this, however, I can understand why some people would. For me the experience was awfull, just a disgusting ally filled with smelly drunk people bumping into eachother. So many good quality places near this, but this was packed, so for a certain crowd I'm sure this is heaven, for me it was like hell 🤷‍♂️

    Uniquely fun bar in Hvar!
    The Kiva Club is a great, fun set of bars that is down a short pedestrian walkway from the marina in Hvartown. You can't miss it. The original bar is small but holds a lot of people when it's really busy around midnight and is "dance music central." The newer bars, across the passageway, are quieter and stylish with retro decor and a very cool vibe and character. The manager runs Kiva with a passion for an excellent clientele experience and the main bartender, Duje, is professional and personable. Going to the Kiva Club each night when in Hvartown is a highlight for us since we discovered it several years ago. The clientele changes depending on who's in town -- can be very touristy with a wide age range; the "kiddies" of Gen Z come out around midnight and it gets very very crowded. It's a great, unique, only in Hvar fun bar.

    A top 3 bar in Hvar -- must see!
    Kiva Bar is an experience. The bar is small but until 2230-2300 it is fairly empty, but that's when the real fun begins. A mix of Croats and tourists, the owner, Sasha, keeps pumping hit after hit energizing the bar's patrons. Drinks are reasonably priced and the bar staff is attentive. I didn't wait more than 30 seconds to order a drink. It's loud. It's young. Hot people hang out here, and the energy is high. If you don't like those things, what are you doing in Hvar?

    Tiny place, crammed full and a rip off for drinks (small bottles only)
    Small bar playing music, most expensive beer in HVAR over 45 kuna for the smallest bottle of lager you can get, ALL other places sell 500ml bottles for 30-40 kuna. Be prepared to be ripped off for some music....... stayed for one beer and left, wasnt drunk enough not to notice!

    Bouncers are out of control
    Went there for a night with friends, but the night took a pretty nasty turn when I saw bouncers kicking a guy on the floor. Obviously the guy had done something to warrant being taken out, but the fact the bouncers decided to kick a person on the floor.... Sorry, ridiculous behaviour.

    The BEST place to go to while at Hvar
    Have been to this place same time last year, and had to come back this year again. It is such a good place to have fun with your friends, business colleagues, anyone ... It was nice to meet new people while having great fun as we, 13 girls, did. Absolutely AMAZING, and definitely will be coming back next year :) :) :)

Place was packed when we visited on a warm, October Monday evening. There was no way to move inside the bar due to crowd and the trip to the bathroom was a challenge but there is a window out to the side street where you can get drinks so we just stayed there. The drinks are pricey with ridiculous 250ml Karlovacko bottle for 35 kuna being the worst deal in the history of deals. Maybe ever ;) But the atmosphere is nice, music reasonable (odd cringey pop tune in between some oldies and rock anthems etc) and we had a great time. Love the vibe of Hvar after dark and this place stays alive even off season.

Me and my cousin visited this bar on both of the nights that we stayed in Hvar, and it was amazing!
The music, the people we met, and the friendly bar staff made both nights memorable.
The drinks were a reasonable price and the atmosphere in the street was euphoric
I have bragged about this place so much to people we met in Split and friends back in the UK. I will deffo be going back next time I visit Hvar :)
