Belgrade Trip – Docker Brewery (Bloody Disappointment)

Well, this was all highly sub-optimal and one of the strangest encounters I’ve had when travelling. It was a bit of a walk out to this craft beer bar which is listed as a verified venue on Untappd and which I had anticipated on being a very positive experience.

This all looked promising and there were several other groups in despite it being the afternoon, it’s clearly a popular location. Anyway, with my choices made, the server said that the venue wasn’t serving beer. I can only think that I was perhaps meant to serve the beer myself, as there is a sign mentioning this, but then I can’t quite understand why they’ve got a bar set-up. And when I was sitting outside I watched a couple go in and then come out two minutes later looking confused and walking off, so I have no idea. It was all beyond me whatever was happening……

Slightly unsure what to do at this news, I looked at the weekend menu and thought it looked all on-trend and interesting, although I was there on a weekday and so it wasn’t appropriate to my visit. Slightly saddened as I had walked a long way to get there, I sat outside using the venue’s wi-fi and bemoaned the situation to Nathan by message. I decided that I’d just find a nearby bar and as it happened there was another one just opposite, so with not a great deal of positivity I went there. And that venue was Draft Bar and just as I felt the afternoon wasn’t going in my favour, I discovered one of the best bars I’ve been to. I’m confident that this bar is probably brilliant (the reviews are testament to that), but I ended up being pleased with how events turned out. More of which in the next post….
