Kapar’s Bar, Vrboska – Burgers, Craft Beer and Cocktails by the Sea

Kapar’s is a casual food and beverage bar located right by the coast in Vrboska, primarily known for its burgers, homemade fries, a wide selection of Croatian craft beers, and cocktails. It is situated by the sea in the center of the town, allowing outdoor seating with views of the Vrboska bay, boats, and the stone houses across the shore.

Kapar’s is not a traditional Dalmatian tavern or a restaurant with an extensive fish and traditional dish menu. The concept is simpler and more modern: quality burgers, freshly prepared fries, good beer or cocktails, and an informal atmosphere by the sea.

Burgers are the Main Attraction

Burgers are the signature offering at Kapar’s and a central part of the menu.

They have original names inspired by winds, such as Bura, Tramuntana, and Levant. The Bura is made with a 100% beef patty and homemade onion jam, a combination that sets it apart from a classic burger.

Other burger variations are also available, including fish and vegetarian options, making the place suitable for more than just beef lovers.

Burgers are prepared to order, and Kapar’s is a good choice when looking for something different from the usual combination of fish, pasta, and grilled meats in Vrboska.

Homemade Fries from Hvar Potatoes

Alongside the burgers, the homemade fries stand out.

They are not made from standard industrial frozen fries but are prepared from fresh potatoes, with a particular emphasis on their Hvar origin.

As a result, the fries are more than just a side dish and are one of the products that have made Kapar’s recognizable.

A Wide Selection of Croatian Craft Beers

Another significant feature of Kapar’s is its beer.

The menu includes a wide range of Croatian craft beers in various styles, from lighter summer beers to more pronounced IPAs and other specialty beers. This makes Kapar’s particularly interesting for guests who want to try something beyond standard industrial lagers.

If you are unsure what to choose, it is worth asking for a recommendation based on the type of beer you usually enjoy.

The combination of burgers, homemade fries, and craft beer best describes the concept of this place.

Cocktails – from Spicy Mojito to Espresso Martini

Kapar’s also offers a serious cocktail selection.

Among the cocktails that stand out are Spicy Mojito and Espresso Martini, but the menu is not limited to these.

As a result, Kapar’s functions well as a bar for evening drinks without the need to order food. It is possible to sit by the sea, have a cocktail or craft beer, and enjoy a drink during an evening stroll in Vrboska.

Relaxed Terrace by the Sea

The location is one of Kapar’s main advantages.

Outdoor tables are located right by the Vrboska coast, with views across the narrow bay. Boats, reflections of houses on the water, and light evening traffic along the promenade create a very pleasant ambiance, especially after sunset.

The atmosphere is informal and social, more akin to a good gastro bar than a classic restaurant.

This makes the place suitable for couples, groups of friends, and families looking for a simpler dinner without a formal restaurant setting.

A Good Alternative to Traditional Dalmatian Dinner

In Hvar, it is relatively easy to find grilled fish, squid, or a traditional tavern. Kapar’s makes sense when you want something different for one evening.

A burger, homemade fries, and Croatian craft beer provide a good change after several days of classic Dalmatian cuisine.

It is particularly practical for families with children or groups where some guests want a simpler meal while others can try beers and cocktails.

Location in the Center of Vrboska

Kapar’s is located in the central part of Vrboska and is very easy to include in an evening stroll through the town.

Within a few minutes' walk, you can reach the bridges over the bay, the Church of St. Lawrence, the Church-Fortress of St. Mary of Mercy, and the Fishermen's Museum.

If you are already in the center of Vrboska, there is no reason to come by car – almost all attractions and dining options are within short walking distances.

Parking

Kapar’s does not have its own large parking area.

It is located by the coast in the center of Vrboska, where parking space is limited. If coming from another location, it is best to leave the car at available public parking in the wider center or near the approaches to the old town and walk the last part.

During the main summer season, especially in the evening, parking spots in the center can be occupied, so it is practical to arrive a bit earlier.
