Montenegro gay bar

Explore the gay Montenegro you never knew existed. Many Albanians and Serbians head to the Ulcinj region for holidays. Compared to nearby Budvaa beach town farther north, Ulcinj has more of a local Montenegrin feel and less Russian influence. There is also a ton of history to be found in the Ulcinj old town.

Plus, there are barely any tourists here! Friendly gay locals are in the most common of places; it just takes a little practice to spot them. On a day trip south of Ulcinj, Gay met a local gay guy who frequents Montenegro. Read more in montenegro guide for my story on him!

I was enlightened after spending time with a gay friend I met while staying in Ulcinj. This man, who will remain nameless per his bar, is native to the Balkan region. From his perspective, I learned the difference in how gay men lead their lives in this area of the world and their justification for doing so. I have many bar who were born in the Balkans.

Most of these gay individuals are not open with their sexuality, in part or in whole. They usually have a small network of gay friends and prefer to keep it that way. In my experience, they are not privy to telling their parents in fear of upsetting their normalcy of life.

Most err on the side of caution by montenegro details about who they are to their family. Some may not have the resources to uproot themselves from their hometowns to move on to a different life and some may simply desire not to do so. It surely is not an ideal situation, but this is often their reality.

Some westerners will surely have opposing opinions and viewpoints on this. However, it seems gay men in Montenegro, Albania, Croatia, and other countries in the region prefer to keep things private instead of disrupting their status quo. Most travelers choose to stay in the Ulcinj old town center.

Instead, my good friend Martin and I chose a location that is much more secluded. The property is located in a secluded area only accessible via a one-lane, hilly road from the old town gay.
