From a Web site Shorty found:

Dubrovnik is, as always, THE place to be!! The best parties in town are:

Daytime: Buza, set in the back wall of the old town... not too hard to find but a little hidden. It directly overhangs the ocean, and is a very simple bar - a few tables, cold beer and wine, palm frond roof and norah jones/sinatra on the stereo - with the sweet young guy working there sneaking on Croatian house when he can! Take your togs because after a drink you can walk down the stairs to the rocks below and jump off into the ocean for a swim.

Look at the pictures above: how could you NOT want to visit Croatia??

Nighttime:
Hemingway bar, the bar with wicker couch-style seats out the front, with massive cushions. Girls,this place is staffed entirely by cute Croatian boys! one of our Croatian friends described this place as "a cocktail bar for the sophisticated set" (no, still not sure why we were allowed in!) they play funky Latino house, and its a great place to sit and watch the world pass by... and the MOHITOs are out of this world, the best I’ve had – they’ll give you a great buzz to start the night. Expect to pay a little more for drinks.

Capitano club: a tiny bar located just outside the main gates. The Croatian owner/dj spins very chilled, funky house and they often have jazz bands. The crowd is often all Croatian.

Fuegos: located just outside the main gates - for those who are very drunk! expect cheesy disco pop, lots of tourists getting it on and possibly some girl crying over a guy in the corner - its that kind of place. Voted #1 club in Dubrovnik

Irish bar- Pub Karaka

There is another excellent little tiny bar in the old town, on one of the alleys leading left away from the main thoroughfare near the belltower. it plays house/pop and has a great vibe and cheapish drinks - lots of Croatians and Italians hang out here. after a certain hour everyone spills out onto the street to enjoy the vibe.

There is an area called bourbon street away from the main old town with a heap of bars and little clubs, but I prefer the individual bars within the old town. Much more vibey and fun. There are often beach parties, especially down at the BEAUTIFUL beach cocktail bar on the beach to the left of the old town... its all open, with white couches and billowey white curtains. Definitely worth a visit. There is a beach party with derrick may playing in early aug.
