Located at one of the landmarks of Ljubljana's social life, the Trubarjeva Street, [[Centralna postaja Ljubljana|Centralna postaja]] (meaning the ''Central Station'', though not really being close to any train or bus station) is a wittily decorated mixture of a club, restaurant, bar and occasionally also exhibition venue. It is catering to a somewhat 'hip' clientele, but by offering wi-fi, free computers and an assortment of flyers and booklets about the current goings-on in Ljubljana it also serves as an information point for visitors of the city. | Located at one of the landmarks of Ljubljana's social life, the Trubarjeva Street, [[Centralna postaja Ljubljana|Centralna postaja]] (meaning the ''Central Station'', though not really being close to any train or bus station) is a wittily decorated mixture of a club, restaurant, bar and occasionally also exhibition venue.

Programme
Music-wise, Centralna postaja runs a programme of a mainly electronic persuasion, though reggae and dub are also often featured, and sporadically other genres as well. Predominantly hosting local DJs and musicians, some of the more notable guests of the club were UMEK, Sare Havlicek, Recycleman, DubDiggerz and Alex Long. A number of DJ collectives have collaborated on the programme, among them regularly the Synaptic Crew. The place boasts a radio station, meaning that it produces podcasts and sometimes online broadcasts the music being played there.
There are regular evenings devoted to skate culture, screening skateboarding films and videos, exhibiting photographs, playing 'appropriate' music and so on. This stems from the tradition of a cult 1990s bar at the same location called Troubar, which was a prominent spot for the skateboarding scene. Centralna postaja also hosts art exhibitions, various workshops, film screenings and so on. During the summer it organises acoustic concerts and other happenings on the street in front of the bar.
Creative industries
A prominent feature at Centralna postaja are various showcases of Slovene designers and their wares, from specially organised fairs to the daily displays adoring one of the inside walls. The bar is also the site for an occasional kick-starter campaign launch. Events under the brand and concept of Creative Mornings – a series of discussions with curious and successful individuals from the creative industries – take place here on a monthly basis.
