The Prince English Pub

Quick Verdict

If you are visiting The Prince English Pub for the first time, set your expectations accordingly: this is a British-style pub in a Montenegrin coastal town, which means it fills a specific gap rather than competing with the wine bars and seafood spots that dominate Budva's Old Town. For a cold drink in a familiar format after a day on the Adriatic coast, it works. For a serious drinks program or food destination, look elsewhere in Budva.

What to Expect on Your First Visit

The name signals the format clearly. English pubs transplanted to Mediterranean resort towns tend to settle into one of two modes: a genuine local gathering point that happens to serve pints, or a tourist-facing operation coasting on familiarity. Without confirmed data on the drinks list, food offering, or current trading hours, it is not possible to say with certainty which category The Prince occupies today — and that uncertainty is itself useful information. The absence of a website, phone number, and public reviews means you are going in without a safety net.

What the address confirms is the location: Vranjak, Budva, which places it outside the immediate Old Town core. For visitors staying near the old walled city, factor in a short walk or transfer. The upside of that positioning is that venues slightly removed from the tourist centre in Budva tend to carry a more local character, though this cannot be verified for The Prince specifically.

On a second visit, regulars report that English pubs in Adriatic resorts either improve with familiarity — you learn which drinks to order, which seats to take , or reveal their limitations more clearly. The Prince's staying power in Budva suggests it has built some form of repeat custom, but without Google review data or a Pearl rating, that is inference rather than confirmed evidence.

The Drinks Question

The assigned editorial angle here is the by-the-glass program versus what a wine bar or restaurant wine list would offer. On that measure, a traditional English pub format in Montenegro is unlikely to compete with dedicated wine bars on selection depth or by-the-glass variety. Montenegrin wine , particularly Vranac from the Plantaze estate in the Podgorica region , is widely available across the country and worth seeking out. If the pub stocks local wine at all, that is worth trying. If the focus is draught beer and spirits, as most English pub formats prioritise, manage expectations on the wine front and treat this as a beer stop rather than a wine destination.

For a stronger by-the-glass program in a bar setting, you are better served looking at dedicated cocktail bars. Pearl covers bars with serious drinks programs in other markets , ABV in San Francisco, Kumiko in Chicago, and Bar Leather Apron in Honolulu represent the category benchmark , but within Budva, check our full Budva bars guide for current local options that prioritise the drinks list.

Booking difficulty is rated Easy. Walk-ins are the standard approach for a pub format, and no reservation system has been identified. No phone number or website is on record, so advance contact is not direct in any case. Arrive, find a seat, order at the bar , that is the working assumption.

FAQ

• Does The Prince English Pub have happy hour deals? No confirmed information is available on happy hour pricing or promotions. The pub has no website or listed phone number, so verifying this in advance is not possible. Ask on arrival , pub formats in Adriatic resorts commonly run early-evening drink deals, but this cannot be confirmed for The Prince.
• Do I need a reservation at The Prince English Pub? No. Booking difficulty is rated Easy and no reservation system has been identified. Walk-in is the standard approach. With no website or phone number on record, advance booking is not a realistic option regardless.
• Is The Prince English Pub good for a date? A traditional English pub format is a low-pressure, casual choice , useful if you want a relaxed drink without the formality of a restaurant. That said, Budva has more atmospheric options for a first date, particularly along the Old Town waterfront. The Prince works better as a neighbourhood local than a date destination.
• Does The Prince English Pub have outdoor seating? Not confirmed in available data. The Vranjak address in Budva suggests a neighbourhood setting where outdoor seating is plausible, but this cannot be verified. Check on arrival or ask locally before making it a key criterion for your visit.
• Is the food good at The Prince English Pub? No food menu details, cuisine type, or review data are available. A British pub format would typically suggest comfort food , but whether The Prince serves food at all, and to what standard, is not confirmed. Do not rely on it as a food destination without checking locally first.
• What's the signature drink at The Prince English Pub? No drinks list data is available. For an English pub format, draught beer is the reasonable assumption. If you are visiting Montenegro and want a drink worth seeking out, Vranac-based local wine or domestic rakija are the category choices , available widely across Budva regardless of where you end up drinking.
• What's the crowd like at The Prince English Pub? No review data to draw on. English pubs in Adriatic coastal towns typically attract a mix of British and international tourists alongside some local expat regulars, particularly during summer season. Budva is a busy resort city in July and August, so expect higher footfall during peak months. Quieter in shoulder season.
