It is hard to guess where we are

Located in the west part of Slovenia, in the middle of nowhere, Horsy is a cool place for all bikers, nomads and funny people who for some reason find themselves in this part of the country. It is a modern place which has some cool sophisticated vibes. The most interesting thing about it is that it is in the middle of the road between Borovnica and Bistra, two really mainstream municipalities in Slovenia. People most certainly don’t expect to see this kind of place here. Three things you should bring when coming here:

  • Good mood

  • A cool jacket

  • A motorbike is not mandatory, but it definitely makes you look cooler

The live music makes us even cooler

Horsy often makes live music shows with a lot of well known rock and country bands from Slovenia and from the neighbouring countries. A lot of them even call the bar themselves and ask to play there because they like the atmosphere and the people who come to listen. Among the three most famous bands which have played in Horsy are:

  • Taboo

  • Adastra

  • Dilijan

Watching the motorbike show from here

Horsy becomes one of the most popular places in Slovenia in May when the motorbike show starts. It is a race which passes on this road. A lot of bikers from all around the country and the continent come to visit and to watch the races from exactly this place.

People fighting for a spot

Even though it is not in the city center where all the tourists come, Horsy has its own clientele. When there is a live music show too many people come and it is impossible to host them all. The owners say that they often extend the place towards their garden.

Edinburgh’s Oldest Pubs
Edinburgh’s Oldest Pubs

Greyfriars Bobby’s Bar is one of Scotland’s most visited, photographed taverns and oldest pub in Edinburgh, located on Candlemakers’ Row in the center of Edinburgh. On your ancient Edinburgh pub crawl, you must stop here.Greyfriars Bobby is located on the ground level of a row of Georgian residences connected to the fabled Candlemakers’ Hall, which was established in 1722.Bobby, a legendary Skye Terrier and a genuinely good boy, was the inspiration for the bar’s name. Bobby was the dog of a Night Watchman of the Edinburgh City Police who was called John Gray.Bobby worked on Gray’s patrol for two years, and the two of them were inseparable since he was the best boy.This is where the story becomes a little sad, but also a little cheerful. Bobby’s proprietor died of TB on February 15, 1858. He was buried in Greyfriar’s Kirkyard, also known as the graveyard, which is right behind the bar.Bobby went to Gray’s grave after his burial and stayed by him side for the next 14 years. It didn’t take long for the locals to notice that he wanted to be at his master’s side forever, and they began giving him food or inviting him into nearby businesses for some kibble.After 14 years of faithful service, the legendary good boy Bobby passed away and joined his master, the bar named itself after him to honor his commitment and dedication.

The White Hart Inn is a historic inn in the town of White Hart

One of Edinburgh’s oldest pubs is our next stop on our historic Edinburgh pub crawl. The White Hart Inn, located on Edinburgh’s Grassmarket, is said to be the city’s oldest tavern as well as the most haunted!The White Hart Inn is almost 500 years old, according to historical documents. It was built in 1516.According to legend, this historic Edinburgh pub crawl stop was named after a strange occurrence that allegedly occurred in 1128. King David I of Scotland was out hunting a massive white stag when he was thrown from his horse in the middle of the chase.The stag turned on the king, who begged to God for salvation. According to legend, the king was saved by a blazing cross that vanished the stag.The king constructed a shrine on the spot of his salvation, and the White Hart Inn was eventually named in honor of the event.The rumors about the White Hart Inn being haunted arise from the numerous public executions that took place directly outside this ancient pub on Grassmarket.Some individuals also claim that the White Hart has provided such excellent hospitality over the years that some of their patrons would refuse to leave, both in life and in death.

The Bar at the End of the World

The World’s End Bar, located on the Royal Mile, is another of Edinburgh’s oldest pubs and our second stop on our historic Edinburgh pub crawl.This tavern maintains its traditional traditions and flair, making both residents and visitors feel at ease as soon as they enter. The countless banknotes that fill the space above the bar demonstrate how many international visitors have passed through this pub’s doors.The city walls that were originally part of the city’s protection policy inspired the name of this stop on our Edinburgh pub tour.After the Scots were defeated by the English in the Battle of Flodden in the 16th century, the walls were built to safeguard Edinburgh.The city gates, which were built as part of the wall, are right outside this ancient Edinburgh pub crawl venue. The Universe’s End was the name given to the location where the gates were built because the people of Edinburgh thought everything beyond those walls to be from another world.Keep an eye out for the spirits as well!The World’s End, like most of Edinburgh’s oldest pubs, has its own set of superstitions and eerie legends. Make sure you don’t move the man’s photo in the bar, otherwise your world will come to an end! EEK!

Tavern of Deacon Brodies

The famed Deacon Brodies Tavern is our second stop on our historic pub tour in Edinburgh, located in the heart of the city’s Royal Mile.This magnificent looking and ancient tavern is named after one of Edinburgh’s most prominent inhabitants, William Brodie, and is located just a few meters from Edinburgh Castle.Brodie was a member of the Guild of Wrights, a guild of highly talented carpenters, where he also served as a deacon.Not only that, but he was a member of the town council and well-liked in the neighborhood.He seemed to be a nice citizen during the day, but at night he was a burglar who liked to gamble and spend the money he stole on women.He was captured in 1788 and after being tried and found guilty of burglary, murder, and more, was executed on the very gallows he constructed.The story became legendary, and his double life was supposed to have inspired local author Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous characters Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, who were published over a century after the events.

Why the unusual location?

Even though it is very common to put a biker pub on the road in the middle of nowhere somewhere in the USA it is not an usual practice in Slovenia. That is why we decided to be among the first who will put a place like this in between two places like Borovnica and Bistra.

The coolest people live here

The location of the place is around three different villages. First people weren’t used to the noise and to the style of the place. However, as the time goes by they are getting used to it and they accept the music and the pub as part of their hometowns. Not only that, they also enjoy it.

Even the younger residents come to visit

There are a lot of kids on the live shows. Apparently they love the music and love to dance so their parents do not hesitate to bring them.

Drinking beer is not the only option in Horsy

No worries if you don’t like beer. We also have home made wines and gyns. It is cool to drink a glass of mulled wine or hot gyn in a cold November morning while on your way somewhere. You won’t even feel the alcohol but you will definitely feel better.

This is not the random place of Slovenia.

What to see once you are here

There are a lot of mountains which can be hiked around and a lot of museums which can be visited. They are suitable for adults and for children.

This is the biggest technical museum of Slovenia.

The technical museum of Slovenia

It is located in Bistra and it is very close to our biker pub. It sounds nerdy, but it is actually really cool. Here you can find everything, from robots to old arcs and boats.

This is another place which is really close to Horsy.

Explore Borovnica

A random town in Slovenia which has nice cakes and lovely mountain views. It is definitely worth visiting.
