BAR
“Bar” is a reality show that aired on the cable channel Kurir TV, premiering on December 21, 2021. The series follows a group of contestants known as the “barovci,” who live together for three months and compete in various challenges related to running a bar. Their task is not only to operate successfully but also to survive off their own earnings during the competition.
In addition to competing for the grand prize of €30,000, the contestants are challenged to turn a newly established bar, located in the heart of Belgrade at Vlajkovićeva 8, into the city’s most popular and most visited hotspot. They are responsible for the bar’s full operation – from attracting guests and creating atmosphere to organizing events and preparing drinks. Each week, they are guided through challenges by the Bar Manager.
More than 20 web cameras broadcasted events from both the bar and the contestants’ shared apartment 24/7. Viewers not only had the power to vote and make key decisions but were also invited to visit the bar, meet the contestants, and become part of the experience.

Kurir TV aired a daily recap show (except on Tuesdays), while a live weekend show, hosted by a presenter, featured contestants reflecting on the past week. Viewer voting via phone calls and SMS messages determined who would stay and who would leave the show.
The aim of the series is for contestants to stay in the competition as long as possible, with the power of decision ultimately placed in the hands of the audience. Contestants rank each other weekly by giving pluses and minuses.
The participant with the most minuses is automatically nominated for elimination, while the highest-ranked contestant with the most pluses chooses the second nominee.
In every round, viewers face a decision – whom to support, and who must leave the Bar for good.
