Long known as one of Ljubljana's most popular alternative nightlife and live music venues, the beloved Prulček recently underwent extensive renovations and emerged from its figurative chrysalis as Sato Prulček - still home to music and culture, but now also offering a Japanese style fusion dining experience, courtesy of chef Shin Sato (of Sato Bento).

Surrounded by apartment blocks in the residential neighbourhood of Prule a few minutes' walk from the old town, this spunky outfit is still one of the city's foremost venues for live music, with an eclectic programme of jazz concerts, blues, rock, indie and ethno shows as well as jam sessions routinely packing the house. To top things off, their beer selection is on par with any other bar in town.
