July 24, 2020 - This weekend at Paradiso Bar in Split is packed with Marko Pecotic Peco and more.

We've already let you know that one of Split's best-kept secrets is Paradiso Bar. This sleek and sexy cocktail bar sandwiched between the famous Marmontova shopping street and celebrity steakhouse Chops Grill has morphed into everyone's favorite summer sanctuary, and it's not hard to see why. 

Live music on the weekend evenings has become the perfect addition to their selection of signature cocktails, many of which are created using fresh-squeezed juices to help keep you cool in the Split heat. 

And this weekend is perhaps their hottest weekend yet. 

Musician, singer, Klapa Iskon and 4 Tenors tenor Marko Pecotic Peco is joined by Silvija Dvornik for a nearly sold-out spectacle on Friday night. And on Saturday, 5+ band is joined by very special guest and promising young actor Ana Usrula Najev. 

Pay a visit to Paradiso's cocktail masters this weekend who will whip up classics at promotional prices, and if you need a table for your group of friends, Paradiso has bottle service, too. Beginning at 480 kuna, you can grab a bottle and four mixers of your choice. Keep in mind that prices vary, and bottle service can hit 720 kuna depending on the label you choose. But don't wait, as spaces are very limited (and selling fast).

July 3, 2020 - What would a Split summer be without cool cocktails, live music, and lounge bar vibes? Paradiso Bar has it all. 

Temperatures are rising in Split, and yet another Dalmatian summer is well and truly on its way. And without the usual seasonal crowds in the city center (yet), we're able to enjoy some of Split's best charms almost to ourselves.

One of Split's best-kept secrets is Paradiso Bar, a sleek and sexy cocktail bar sandwiched between the famous Marmontova shopping street and celebrity steakhouse Chops Grill. Whether it's your summer sanctuary or your winter wonderland, Paradiso is tried and true in everything they do. 

With the summer season kicking off, Paradiso has spiced up its weekend evenings with live music to accompany their selection of signature cocktails, many of which are created using fresh-squeezed juices to help keep you cool in the Split heat. Whether you choose a tangy Paloma or want to keep things classy with an Espresso Martini, the cocktail masters at Paradiso can satisfy any palate, and at promotional prices, ranging from 48-52 kuna!

But those tempting cocktails aren't the only reason you should head to Paradiso this weekend.

Aligned with the summer theme, it's only appropriate that Paradiso is calling in Sunny Day Band to play for you this Saturday, July 4. This popular band combines a mix of saxophone, acoustic guitar and female vocals and performs a repertoire of music styles from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Forgetting your dancing shoes would be a big mistake.

And if, by chance, you plan on coming with a group of friends this weekend and don't want to fuss over the cocktail list -  yes, Paradiso has bottle service, too. Beginning at 480 kuna, you can grab a bottle and four mixers of your choice. Keep in mind that prices vary, and bottle service can hit 720 kuna depending on the label you choose. 

The Paradiso fun starts this Saturday at 9 pm. Table reservations can be made by calling 091 365 0000.
