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, 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 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 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 and Logistics

Booking difficulty is rated Easy. Walk-ins are the standard approach for a pub format, 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.
