Labyrinth
Sv Kriza 59, by the terrace of Hotel Rovinj (www.labyrinth.hr). Open Summer 10pm-4am Fri, Sat and party nights.
A gay and mixed crowd enjoys great dance music in this club hidden away in the heart of the Old Town. It's inside a catacomb-like space under an old stone embattlement constructed around the cathedral. The moderate-sized, round dancefloor is surrounded by a mural with scenes from Rovinj and beefcake interpretations of Michelangelo's work. DJs from all over Europe drop in to play moving commercial, house and progressive music. It's not as crowded as the Monvi, but everyone seems just as ready to party.
Lobby Bar
Zdenac 16 (www.labyrinth.hr). Open llam-lam daily.
Gay and gay-friendly bar in the heart of the Old Town serves fancy cocktails allowing for down-to-earth conversation amid classy decor. Run by the folks who do the Labyrinth Club nearby, it's the logical place to begin a quest for the gay side of Rovinj.
