Known for its hard rock, hard drinking and hard bodies, Orto Bar is one of Ljubljana's leading live music venues. Downstairs is a red velvet lounge with a popular foosball table that dashes any inclination towards decadence, while upstairs is a swarm of sweaty wristbands, thrashing hair, cigarette smoke and ear-splitting delineations of punk and rock music on weekends. A bit beyond the city middle, Orto is a nice halfway point between the sometimes sketchy or spacey nearby Metelkova scene and the smart society of the centre. At Orto the clientele isn't too alternative to talk to you or create a friendly atmosphere. Daily 18-23 happy hours help.
