Social Club, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Social Club - "We eagerly await the opening of new cafés and bars hoping that they offer something different and interesting, and Social Club, located in Prule just south of the old town centre, doesn’t disappoint. In fact, we love what this unpretentious new venue is doing, from offering free-range egg breakfasts to delicious affordable seasonal lunches as well as serving super tasty snacks late into the evening. Social Club isn’t just about food, it also offers some of the best cocktails in town and plays chilled out tunes most nights of the week." -by InYourPocket
