There’s no doubt that Dubrovnik is one of the most beautiful cities in all of Europe. The city has also become a very popular same-sex attracted destination, which is partly due to the increase in the number of gay cruises that visit the town.

Vicko Lazo is the co-owner of the club Milk – the first gay bar in Dubrovnik, which opened in May 2022.

Interview with Vicko Lazo of Milk, Dubrovnik’s first queer bar
Expat in Croatia: How did you decide to open Milk?
Vicko: We decided to open Milk at the end of the last summer season. As me being a member of the LGBTQ community, I knew how important it would be to create a safe space for us. Dubrovnik has always been a big destination for the gay community, and I knew something like a gay prevent was missing from our city’s offer.

We spent 3 nights in the stunning city of Dubrovnik and completely fell in love.
The historical walled old town lays on the water’s edge and is a maze of pretty cobbled streets, beautiful buildings, monuments and the views from the walls themselves are breath-taking.
It’s easy to see why Dubrovnik has become so popular and attracts thousands of tourists every year.
In our gay guide to Dubrovnik we will cover how we found the urban area as a queer couple, if a gay scene exists, all the unreal things to complete during your see, where to linger and practical tips – we highly recommend that you visit!

Is Dubrovnik Gay Friendly?
As a country, Croatia on the whole is not particularly progressive or homosexual friendly, however when visiting the tourist hot spots, prefer the case in many countries, we felt very shielded and had no trouble at all.
Taken from a local, ‘during summer in Dubrovnik you are fine, maybe in winter when there are no tourists you might earn a look or two but nothing more’.
In fact, our trip to Croatia starting in Dubrovnik was for a gay sailing trip (which goes each year) and we had a massive pride flag flying for the wh
For many years there were no gay bars in Dubrovnik….however we are very happy to say that Dubrovnik finally has its very first official same-sex attracted bar and it is a lot of fun!

Gay Bars in Dubrovnik
Right now there is only one male lover bar in Dubrovnik, however there are also a few that are established for being gay friendly.
MILK Gay Bar Dubrovnik
MILK is the first and only official gay bar in Dubrovnik and during our annual gay sailing trip to Croatia (click to book yourself onto one) we took our entire sailing group to verify out this gay bar.
The goal of the owner was to offer something Dubrovnik has been lacking, a welcoming and relaxed place for the Diverse population and their allies.
The bar itself is within Dubrovniks old town and like many bars a restuarants is a relatively small space with a lot of character. As you entire the celing is covered with plants, the walls lined with mirrors and the block stocked
