[[ZOO Club]] was established in [[established::2014]] on the site where a club (a slightly infamous one, called KMŠ and known for wild drinking) was previously already running for a long time. Bent on overcoming its old image, the club kickstarted a brand new programme that imaginatively combines very different and quite many musical genres, from jazz and ethno to dubstep and techno, coupled with a culinary offer. It also organises [[Urbano Dejanje]], a festival of contemporary urban cultures (from break-beat and graffiti art to music), locating it on the wider premises of the Tobačna Cultural Quarter.

Of the DJs hosted one can mention Petar Dundov (HR), Sandrino (DE), the footstep legend Traxman (US), Torulsson, Tunnidge (UK), Sonic Entity (RS), etc. The summer garden is usually reserved for reggae vibes, funk, hip hop and such.
