Kapar’s Bar, Vrboska – burgers, craft beer and cocktails by the sea

Kapar’s is a laid-back food and beverage bar located right by the coast in Vrboska, primarily known for its burgers, homemade chips, a wide selection of Croatian craft beers, and cocktails. Situated by the sea in the heart of the town, diners can enjoy outdoor seating with views over the Vrboska bay, boats, and the stone houses on the opposite shore.

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

Burgers are the main attraction

Burgers are the hallmark of Kapar’s and the central part of its menu.

They feature original names inspired by winds, such as Bura, Tramuntana, and Levanta. The Bura is made with a 100% beef patty and homemade onion marmalade, a combination that sets it apart from the typical burger.

Other burger variations are also available, including fish and vegetarian options, ensuring that the venue caters not just to beef lovers.

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

Homemade chips from Hvar potatoes

Alongside the burgers, the homemade chips stand out.

Instead of using standard frozen chips, they are made from fresh potatoes, with the local tourism offering highlighting their Hvar origin.

As a result, the chips are more than just a side dish and have become one of the products that have made Kapar’s well-known.

A wide selection of Croatian craft beers

Another significant feature of Kapar’s is its beer selection.

The menu includes a broad range of Croatian craft beers of various styles, from lighter summer ales to more pronounced IPAs and other specialty brews. This makes Kapar’s particularly appealing to guests looking to try something beyond standard industrial lagers.

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

The combination of burgers, homemade chips, and craft beer best describes the concept of this venue.

Cocktails – from Spicy Mojito to Espresso Martini

Kapar’s also boasts a serious cocktail menu.

Among the standout cocktails are the Spicy Mojito and Espresso Martini, though the selection is not limited to these.

This makes Kapar’s a suitable spot for an evening drink without the need to order food. You can sit by the sea, enjoy a cocktail or craft beer, and linger over drinks during an evening stroll in Vrboska.

Relaxed terrace by the sea

The location is one of Kapar’s main assets.

Outdoor tables are positioned right by the Vrboska waterfront, offering views across the narrow bay. Boats, reflections of houses on the water, and the gentle evening activity along the promenade create a very pleasant atmosphere, especially after sunset.

The vibe is informal and sociable, more akin to a good gastro bar than a traditional restaurant.

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

A good alternative to a traditional Dalmatian dinner

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

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

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

Location in the centre of Vrboska

Kapar’s is located in the central part of Vrboska, making it very easy to include in an evening walk around 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 Fisherman’s Museum.

If you are already in the centre of Vrboska, there is no need to drive – almost all attractions and dining options are within a short walking distance.

Parking

Kapar’s does not have its own large parking area adjacent to the venue.

It is located by the waterfront in the centre of Vrboska, where parking space is limited. If coming from another location, it is best to leave your car at a public parking area in the wider centre or on the approaches to the old town and walk the last part.

During the peak summer season, especially in the evenings, parking spaces in the centre can be occupied, so it is advisable to arrive a bit earlier.
