Bečići itself is a relaxed resort, but it sits right next to Budva — the Budva Riviera's nightlife capital — so a big night out is only a short drive away. The scene runs from a hilltop megaclub to Budva's nightclubs and old-town cocktail bars. Here is where to go. For the full list, see our nightlife page.
The clubs
- Top Hill — Montenegro's biggest open-air club, set on Topliš hill (~600 m) above Budva with room for around 5,000, one of the largest open-air clubs in the region. A summer megaclub with international DJ and pop headliners, doors from about 23:00 to 06:00, running roughly late May to mid-September (Thursday–Sunday at the July–August peak) with panoramic views over the coast. The Riviera's marquee night out, a short drive from Bečići.
- Trocadero — a long-running multi-level nightclub in Budva, with DJ nights, live acts and a packed dance floor through the summer season. In town rather than up the hill, and easy to reach.
The big festival week
Once a year the Riviera hosts a full-scale festival on the sand: Sea Dance Festival — the coastal spin-off of Serbia's EXIT and one of the Balkans' biggest music events — returns to the Budva area for 2026 on 28–31 August, with free admission and a beachside main stage of world-class electronic and dance acts (the 2026 bill lists Charlotte de Witte, Peggy Gou and Hugel, among others). It's a short hop from Bečići and the single biggest nightlife week of the summer; the exact beach has shifted between editions, so check the official channels for the location and set times before planning around it.
A quieter drink
- Casper Bar — a relaxed cocktail and specialty-coffee bar tucked into a stone courtyard in Budva's Old Town, with good music and easy drinks by day and into the night. The spot for a low-key evening rather than a late one.
- Freedom Bar & Prosciutteria — a candle-lit wine bar and prosciutteria in a stone courtyard against the Old Town walls, with wine by the glass and boards of cured meats and cheese; one of the highest-rated spots in town for the early evening.
- Jeff Bar — a small, characterful terrace bar in the old-town lanes, cocktails and easy drinks under strings of pennant flags; a laid-back late-evening stop rather than a headline night.
- Beer & Bike Club — a long-running biker-themed beer bar on Budva's Slovenska Obala promenade, cold Nikšićko on tap under green awnings and motorcycle memorabilia across every wall; the easy walk-to option between Bečići and Budva.
Budva's two bar zones
Beyond the headline clubs, Budva's drinking scene splits into two distinct zones, and knowing which you're in shapes the night:
- The Old Town — inside and along the medieval fortress walls, a cluster of cocktail lounges, wine bars and live-music spots (including jazz), atmospheric and lower-key, best for the early and middle of the evening. This is where Casper Bar sits.
- The Slovenska Plaža strip — the main beachfront promenade between Budva and Bečići, lined with open-air bars, dance floors and late-night restaurants. Louder, younger and closer to the sand — the natural warm-up (or alternative) to the hilltop clubs.
Getting there — you can walk it
The pattern is simple: stay in Bečići, go out in Budva. The two towns run into each other along the coast — about 3 km — and the best way between them at night is the flat, paved seaside promenade, a 20–30 minute walk past Slovenska Plaža that stays lit after dark, so a taxi isn't essential for the bars and the old town. For Top Hill, though, you'll want wheels: the club sits up Topliš hill on a winding private road, reached by a dedicated shuttle bus from the promenade or a taxi. Expect a cover charge of about €15–30 and a dress code — smart-casual, no beachwear.
How a night out works
The scene peaks in July and August, when Top Hill runs its big-name nights and Budva's old town buzzes until late; outside high summer it is much quieter, and Top Hill closes entirely off-season. The megaclub opens late — doors around 23:00 and busiest well after midnight — so the natural arc is drinks in the old town or along Slovenska Plaža first, then up to the hill once the night gets going. Book a taxi back in advance for the small hours: cars get scarce and pricey when the clubs empty out in peak season. For getting around, see our getting-here guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Bečići have nightlife?
Bečići itself is a relaxed resort, so the nightlife is next-door Budva — a short drive away — from a hilltop megaclub to nightclubs and old-town cocktail bars.
What is the biggest club near Bečići?
Top Hill, on Topliš hill above Budva, is Montenegro's biggest open-air club — capacity around 5,000 — with international DJ and pop headliners and all-night summer parties from about 23:00 to 06:00, roughly late May to mid-September.
How do you get from Bečići to Budva's clubs?
The two towns run into each other along the coast, about 3 km apart. For Budva's old town and the beachfront bars you can walk the flat, lit seaside promenade in 20–30 minutes; for Top Hill, up on Topliš hill, take the club's shuttle bus from the promenade or a taxi up the private road, and book a taxi back for the small hours.
How much does Top Hill cost to get in?
Expect a cover charge of around €15–30 depending on the night and the headline act, and note there's a dress code — smart-casual, no beachwear. It's an open-air summer club, so it runs roughly late May to mid-September and closes off-season.
