    We love the place. And some of the best beer in Zagreb. My rating is just because lately they are not consistent with Mazalice. Use to be one of my favourite dishes to eat in the whole city. Now 30% of the times the bread has no meat on top. Hope you see this guy's and just mix the food

    (Translated by Google) Traditionally a good restaurant, good food in relatively large portions with a good beer. It is recommended to sit on the terrace for complete enjoyment. (Original) Tradicionalno dobar restoran, dobra hrana relativno velikih porcija uz dobru pivicu. Preporuka je sjesti na terasi za potpuni užitak.

    I liked the garden. Good atmosphere. Traditional tasty food. My husband became a fan of a light beer with the beautiful name "Leto u Zagrebu" (summer in Zagreb). It was not too full (Sunday night in July). What i disliked - smoking is allowed. This is not great when dining with kids... We were outdoors, but it was still disturbing me.

    My favorite dish so far are the pork ribs. Definitely different than the barbecue ribs in the US but just as juicy if not more. The meat falls off the bone and is so delicious! Would highly recommend stopping in if you get a chance.

    So many different beers, they have two separate menus with house and specials. Fridged bottles for takeaway. Had some great burgers. Super friendly staff, huge beer garden. Top tier!

    The place is a low-mid range restaurant when it comes to interior and exterior. The food is pretty good depending on the choice and they have a nice selection of artesanal beer. The price spectrum goes to upper class restaurant for Zagreb area which is a point down. Very loud outside but I guess that is the point. Best place for groups to have dinner and family with screaming kids. Not very much for couples.

    Review only on food: One word - disgusting. None of the traditional dishes we ordered looked or even tasted remotely close to what actually was supposed to be in them. Seemed like they served scraped leftovers from last year. Probably visit only for drinks.

    Good selection of traditional foods and craft beers. The beer was one of the best I have tasted in a while and is well priced given the location and quality. Food is tasty as well, a bit higher priced but the daily menu is a good alternative if you are looking for something more affordable. Today they offered cuttlefish bean stew and black polenta which was wonderful. Very nice, spacious outdoor seating area.

    What a fantastic restaurant with amazing food and service! Someone recommended Pivnica Medvedgrad Ilica to us and I'm so glad she did! The food was delicious and full of flavour and our server was super helpful with fantastic tips about the menu. Our server recommended trying their pastries to start: a cheese filled croissant and pork-rind flavoured biscuit... WOW they were amazing! I wish I'd bought loads of them to take home! We also tried a mince meat spread on toast and a charcuterie board with local cheeses that was excellent. The burgers were also delicious. Our server, Ivan I believe, also went through the beer menu in detail and made great recommendations for us. I'm so glad we came here and tried so many different lovely things. It was fab. Thank you again for a wonderful meal and experience!

    Great pub with good beers and nice menu. We enjoyed our evening !

  • 4/5 Tony B. 2 years ago on Google
    I popped in here after reading bad reviews of slow service, etc. because I was tempted by the beer. It is a very relaxed place but with patience comes great beer and tasty food at a very reasonable price. I turned up early, circa 6.15pm, to miss the rush on a Thursday night. There were already a few tables taken in the beer garden out the back but I found a good spot. I had the cevapcici with lepinja bread washed down with a couple of 500ml glasses of the "Fantom with Motive" (5.3% New England Pale Ale). Very nice indeed, and for £11 (+ tip) very good value.

  • 4/5 Filip B. 2 years ago on Google
    Okay place, a bit expensive. Nothing special as everyone rates it. The waiter was rly nice with us btw.

  • 3/5 Ivan Vedak R. 2 years ago on Google
    Beer is good, ambient also. Waiter are too few and too slow. I waited for a drink for 40 minutes, and waited forgot about my drink. In total 40 minutes without drink.

  • 5/5 Katarina L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The food and drinks are great. I feel comfortable and laid back there. The terrace is green and although in the center it is quite quiet. (Original) Hrana i piće odlični. Tamo se osjećam ugodno i ležetno. Terasa zelena i mada je u strogom centru sasvim tiha.

  • 5/5 Maynard del R. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best places to eat and drink in Zagreb. Local cuisine, local beer, very friendly staff and a very nice and spacious al fresco garden dining/drinking area with tall chestnut trees. Don't forget to ask about their daily specials, they're always good and affordable :)

  • 5/5 Steve R. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow, great place! Awesome food, great beer, very happening location. WARNING - if using Moovit, location is completely wrong (though right stop). Use google maps from Britanski Trg!

  • 4/5 Melita S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Cozy terrace all in the greenery in the heart of the city. One part of the terrace has a glass canopy, so you can sit outside in any weather conditions. Decoration, rustic with massive tables that gives a special antique flair. The food is really delicious, does not wait long, the staff is very friendly and helpful and nothing not a problem.I was especially delighted with the dessert, I ate a crumble pie with wild berries or cherries that is served warm with vanilla ice cream.I will definitely come again 👍🏻 (Original) Ugodna terasa sva u zelenilu u srcu grada. Jedan dio terase ima staklenu nadstrešnicu, pa se vani može sjediti u bilo kojim vremenskim uvjetima.Uređenje, rustikalno sa masivnim stolovima koje daje jedan poseban starinski štih.Hrana je stvarno ukusna, ne čeka se dugo, osoblje baš iznimno ljubazno i uslužno i ništa im nije problem.Posebno me oduševio desert, jela sam crumble pie sa šumskim voćem ili višnjama koja se poslužuje topla uz sladoled od vanilije.Svakako ću ponovno doći 👍🏻

  • 3/5 Xuanbo H. 2 years ago on Google
    I went there to get lunch. I ordered zvoncic steak with croquettes. The presentation was really not good, as seen in the picture. The croquettes had nothing to do with croquettes: on the outside they were not with a crispy crust at all, kinda mushy, and on the inside they lacked fluffiness. The quality of the bread was supermarket level. What saved this restaurant from a 2 star rating was that the chicken was pretty delicious. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside! Maybe dinner is better at that place judging from the other pictures?

  • 5/5 Vangelis T. 11 months ago on Google
    Overall a great place to hang out with friends and have a few pints. Been there a few times. The choice of food is typical for a Croatian pub. There's something for everyone. Great craft beer selection which will satisfy every palette and preference. Good quality beer. The service is fantastic for the most part except for when a specific waiter is working.

  • 4/5 Florian W. 6 months ago on Google
    Slow service, good beer. Spacious garden. Cute place. Cheap local food.

  • 5/5 Kristian M. 6 months ago on Google
    If you want traditional Croatian food of excellent quality and top Croatian craft beers, Pivnica Medvedgrad is the place for you.

  • 4/5 elvin t. 5 months ago on Google
    Unfortunately it was full when I got there so I had to sit inside, but this place has a lovely garden. Beers were delicous, there are many flavors you can taste, they all described in the menu. You can find their beer in many places in Zagreb. They're very popular. I was there only for the beer, so I can't say much about the food unfortunately. You can also connect to the wifi free for two hours if I'm not misremembering it. Whic is nice if you're a tourist trying to find your way.

  • 5/5 Sofiya S. 6 months ago on Google
    Amazing place with great beer, super super friendly staff (Kruno is the best!) and tasty menu.

  • 3/5 Winncie 8 months ago on Google
    We had ribs served with fried potatoes and the fried stuffed chicken breast with croquettes. The ribs were a little tough and lacked sauce (both of which were criteria for great ribs in my opinion). The chicken was okay, the croquettes were so so, they were like fried little breads and a bit dry to eat. In comparison, the complementary bread basket was amazing (cheesy croissant and bacon scones). The food was heavy on the fried side, but in retrospect we could have probably ordered better options from the menu. Still, we had a nice time, good service, and beer was good. We should come back and try other dishes.

    What a beautiful spot. I loved the dark wood furniture and decorative atmosphere. I’m feeling a medicinal vibe that I loved.

  • 5/5 Анна �. 10 months ago on Google
    We had really delicious traditional food. The prices are low and the portions are huge.

  • 3/5 Martin �. 1 year ago on Google
    The beer was excellent, we tasted 4 different and all of them were really nice. Service was good too. However the food was average, if even that. Duck leg was OK, but chicken with mushroom sauce and chicken with broccoli were like from a school canteen. The portions were not very big (but not too small either). Prices were high for the value.

  • 4/5 Ivan T. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice place if you want to eat good portions for reasonable price. Beers are good and you must take čvarkuša even if you are there for beer only.

  • 5/5 Світлана �. 1 year ago on Google
    very tasty food, big portions and good service. were able to sit down on Saturday evening, although the entire main hall was packed. definitely recommend a visit.

  • 5/5 Filip E. 1 year ago on Google
    Cosy brewery with great selection of beer. The atmosphere is vibrant, the staff is very friendly and welcoming. The interior has a very rustic, tavern like feel with massive wooden chairs and tables. We tried several types of beer and they were all very delicious. We haven’t eaten anything but we have heard the food is great.

  • 3/5 Blaž U. 1 year ago on Google
    Great beers but don't expect too much from the ambient itself 🙂 + good value for money + friendly and polite staff which takes their time 😉 - they could definitely do some toilet renovating 🤷‍♂️ BTW, we didn't eat but they have traditional grill offer mostly....

The interior space is crying out for refurbishment, but the terrace is one of the most beautiful and comfortable in that part of town. (Original) Odlično pivo i hrana.

    Great inside courtyard. Like a hidden gem. Had a great steak and my friend had a cevapcici sandwich. Tried a cheese croissant but it was actually a cheese bread in the shape of a croissant. Very salty. Awesome beers though. Highly recommended. Service was quick and friendly.

    Great house beer selection, IMO the BEST IPA on croatian craft beer scene "Fakin", Awesome homemade, traditional food. Friendly staff, very reasonable prices, big portions

  • 1/5 SEAN B. 3 years ago on Google
    Terrible service this evening. Have been here twice before last year with no problems. Tonight the staff ignored us in the beer garden. They simply would not come to our table.One waiter went back inside and played with his phone for 10 minutes.. the other was equally unconcerned. Maybe because we were a foreign tourist couple? I don't know. Zagreb is wonderful..Croatians are fantastic. We chose to risk the pandemic to visit here happily.This is the only sour experience of our trip.After 15 minutes we got up and walked out . The waiters had nothing to say to us when we left. Disgraceful. These waiters let gorgeous Zagreb down.

  • 4/5 Luka �. 5 years ago on Google
    Very nice place, good beer and food. Prices of food are little bit too high for some dishes...but generally... Good beer solved all my problems. During spring and summer terrace is beautiful. Four 🌟 because during the last visit waiter was little bit...not so nice.

    (Translated by Google) A private brewery in Zagreb, which has more locales in the city. Large selection of beers, I recommend 12 ° lager, which inconspicuously resembles Pilsen (4.4% alc.). The menu is varied, again surprised with goulash or duck with dumplings and cabbage. Slightly higher in price, but it is the city center. In the evening crowded. (Original) Soukromý pivovar v Záhřebu, který má ve městě více lokálů. Velký výběr piv, doporučuji 12° ležák, který nenápadně připomíná Plzeň (4,4% alk.). Nabídka jídel pestrá, opět překvapil guláš či kachna s knedlíky a zelím. Cenově malinko vyšší, ale jde o centrum města. Večer narváno.
