Buža in Croatian translates simply to "hole", which is exactly what this pub/cafe in the Dubrovnik wall is..... a hole in the wall which was used to get supplies into the city when it was under siege during the war in the 90s. Now it's a place where you can look at the beautiful view whilst paying through the nose for drinks served by rude, humourless waiters who constantly have ciggies hanging out of their mouths. It's also a beach, so people can jump off the rocks and climb up the little ladder to get back out.
It's not an easy place to find and there are no signs. You have to be 'in the know'. It is shown on a map, but you still need to know which unmarked hole in the narrow little backstreets of the old town to go through before finding it. There are actually 3 holes in the wall, but only 2 at the front overlooking the water that have been made into bars. From what I can gather, the lackadaisical service is the same in both.
It's nice for a drink at sunset, but you'll probably only stay for one.
There's nothing like having a 5sies @ 7.30pm (except maybe having it at 5pm!)
and watching the changing colours on the island of Lokrum.
