POST #2: Zagreb (Saturday, May 24, 2014).
-----------------------------------------------------
Going to write this out like business minutes so it's just exactly what I did all night in point form so there's no ambiguity.
5:00 PM - Drove from Biograd na Moru on the autoput for Zagreb (120 KN one way, ~$25).
7:00 PM - Arrived at our destination, a cousin's flat which was on some street near Club BBS (
http://clubbbs.hr/)
Popped 4 bottles of Red Label Johnny Walker (Yonny Vaaahker as pronounced here lol) and drank casually while watching the soccer game (Real Madrid vs Atletico) until about...
11:00 PM - Taxi'd to a restaurant/bar called Urnebes (see promo video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blzaCy9BWHQ). There were 7 of us and we payed 300 KN (~$60 CAD) each and got unlimited drinks all night, which the waiters delivered for us in 26 form in buckets of ice with glasses. Night started out easy. Vibe was chill. They brought out a platter of assorted, freshly grilled meats and we stuffed ourselves as we drank yet more Red Label lol (weirdly the most popular drink in Croatia right now). Our group was aged 22-27 but the demographic ranges from say 20-35. Great mix. Unofficial survey, according to most of my cousins, concludes that this is the #1 bar in Zagreb. Also should mention this bar is restaurant-style so there are tables everywhere and you're practically sitting elbow to elbow, even with other tables. I really enjoyed how it was packed in like that though. Great vibe.
Obviously, my sense of time from here on out is going to be skewed because I got plastered... but not so much I couldn't wheel. The meat platters really helped here.
As soon as we sat down and started snacking and pouring our first drinks, we turned around and opened the table of girls behind us. A couple casual exchanges set us up for about an hour later when the DJ came on and started blasting some higher pace music. The girls on said table got loose and wild very quickly, and started dancing on the table itself. My brother and I as well as one other cousin got up and surrounded them and danced with them a bit as they came down. Talked for a bit and got some lip action with one of them, then shortly after that we all migrated to a second table just down the small flight of stairs and near the washrooms.
Stood at our standing table just down the stairs a bit with our ice bucket and bottles of Johnny and kept pouring up until about...
~12:30 AM - A group of 3 girls beside us merged with our table and we started chatting them up. Also from Zagreb. Again, the whole cousins from Canada thing worked so well in our favour that I didn't really have to do anything (sorry if this isn't helping with your guys game but what I can say)... Personally, I wasn't really into any of them, and I'd say they were solid 7's but I guess I was waiting for something else.
~1:00 AM - Opened a 3 set and my brother swooped in behind me. These girls were dancing between the restaurant style tables on the upper level and were having none of my advances. Rejected. More drinking, partying, and singing with my cousins. Moved between our initial set (with the girl who I had LA'd with) and our squad's table downstairs and socialized for another maybe hour or so.
~2:00 AM - Back "downstairs" (the whole bar is just a one floor split-level with a slightly lower and higher portion if I hadn't explained that clearly enough)... opened a 4th set of 3 girls standing at their table in the corner. They were nice but didn't really end up being anything.
~2:30 AM - Got some shots, feeling like a bit of a loser... so got my bro to help me psych myself into it again. Took the plunge and solo opened a 6 set. I correctly guessed it was one of their birthdays. Opened with "So who's birthday is it tonight?". Lol. So stupid. Whatever... Said this in Croatian by the way. Somehow managed to isolate this one girl by lifting her up by her waist and spinning her into some kind of dance move. My brother handle the other 5 chicks while I got to talking to "Martina". Made out with her a ton. Maybe 15-20 minutes of that and more talking. Decided to "pull back" randomly and walked away. She chased (IOI) and asked where our table was. I pointed to it and our group of guys that were chilling there with maybe 4 girls at this point (pre-selection). We still left.
~3:30 AM - Saw this chick Martina with some friends again randomly. Grabbed two beers from the bar and approached her. Shoved it in her hand. Cheers'd her then watched as I applied as much sly peer pressure as I could to get her to chug it down. Yay! She complied. Grabbed her by the hand and took her outside. We talked for a while. Added each other on Facebook and I told her I was actually going to leave now with my cousins. 4 of our squad left, so it was just me, my bro and 1 of the other guys. Martina walks back inside and I motion for the cab.
Never planned on leaving. Brother opened a 3 set outside and got that fired up. Around ~4:30 AM Martina and her hot blonde friend come out of the bar and enter a cab. I'm still there talking with my bro and these new chicks. I notice her (lol I'm practically waiting for her at this point) and approach her cab and she waves me to enter. I go with her and her friend to a bar called BBS (it's open til like 7:00 AM)...
My brother follows in a cab behind me cause I made the decision quickly and he didn't want to leave our 3rd friend out or something, not sure what he was thinking... could have all just went. Anyway...
~4:30 AM - Arrive at BBS. Now I'm dancing with Martina and it's my brother handling 5 other girls while we furiously make out all over the club. We're off the side, near the stairs, near the bar. I can't even tell any more. I'm seriously plastered and so is she. More socializing, drinking, dancing, etc.
~6:00 AM - Apparently we're really close to our apartment. I told her our address, and she's staying with her sister over night (who did not come out with them because she was really sick)... Martina is not from Zagreb. Anyway, we walk to our apartment and on the way there we stop this kid from jumping off this bridge that was definitely high enough that if he hit the water it would feel like concrete... apparently lost a big bet on the soccer match the night before. We console him and buy him some Burek from a local bakery and he feels much better and goes home. Anyway, the interaction between Martina and I is past the point of being a sealed deal at this point. So I'd say about 3 solid hours of interaction with making out and escalation of physical contact in total.
~6:30 AM - My brother makes it back to the apartment at this point. Didn't pull for some reason. Definitely should have but I think the 5 girls were too much for him Lol. Anyway we're at this park on the way back to her apartment. We stop at this bench, make out more, make fun of the fat ass pidgeons, kind of mess around and get to know each other a little better. Maybe spent too much time here. Not sure. I tried getting her into our apartment but she was reluctant knowing there were 4 guys in there... so I walked her to hers and she politely invited me in. It was early and her sister was up (definitely sick) so I had to talk to her and it got obvious pretty quickly this wasn't going to escalate to sex. I pushed for it but ended up being this "oh cute you're trying to fuck me hallway dance/my sister is right there and this is not happening" kind of thing.
~7:30 AM - Return to our apartment only to be locked out and sleep on the concrete floor for 2 hours until my door knocking is noticed and finally get to bed and sleep until 4:00 PM, at which point we have a massive dinner with the boys and drive back home.
-----------------------------------------------------
Wouldn't say it was a success personally, but it was a fantastic time and 3 of us ended up getting laid. Urnebes and BBS were definitely some of the best bars I've been to in Croatia so far. Also, if this girl wasn't only there for the night it would have been definitely possible to go in for the pound. Definitely a second date would have sealed it. But honestly most of her attraction for me had to do with my "broken accent" and the fact I was a Croatian from Canada. Great girl but it was really obvious. Not sure how you guys can incorporate that into your game or if you even have to, but I definitely recommend those two bars for an amazing night!!!
** I'll try to dig up some pictures of the night if I can grab any off my brother's or cousin's phones, just didn't end up taking any for some reason. Anyway, hope yall enjoyed that! As always, fire away any questions and I'd be happy to answer.
