Cost of Beer in Croatia
First the good news: Beer in Croatia is usually cheaper compared to Germany. However, there are, of course, price differences depending on the region, location, and type of beer.
- In the Supermarket: Here you can find local beers like Ožujsko or Karlovačko starting from approx. €0.80 for a 0.5l can.
- In Beach Bars and Restaurants: Here you have to expect higher prices, especially in tourist hotspots. Half a liter on tap usually costs between €2.50 and €4.50.
- In Clubs and Discotheques: Here prices can sometimes climb to €5 or more for a beer.
Factors Affecting Beer Prices

- Happy Hour Deals: Many venues offer cheaper drinks at certain times.
Additional Saving Tips
- Drink Local Beers: Imported beers are often significantly more expensive.
