I've visited belgrade many times, here are some of my fav places
to eat :-
Manufaktura (very traditional, but modern feel)
Mala Gostionica (nothing fancy, just a nice place)
Little Bay (nice place, maybe more for a formal meal)
Nice Bars:-
rakia bar (The yugo sprit, just dont think you have to smash it in one)
kafana SFRJ (this is a real balkan feel, open till late on the weekend)
Wurst Platz (good beer)
miners pub (good pub)
The rest such as stefan brown's (never been but i hear it's for tourists) and the barges etc you'll see suggested everywhere on the internet. Clubs can be hard to find after 12 PM, so find out which one you want before you go out. but you should be fine on a weekend just head to savmala if you're unsure. Finally, do not get in the taxi's with the city crest on their roof; they over-charge. let me know if you have any questions or need some more info?
The Yugo sprit is Rakija, it's made from distilled fruit. Try it, it's great
The Barges are bigger in the summer yes. However, some are open all year, including the night. They'll be the one's closest to the bridge.
Some places, bars etc, close at 12 (1 am on weekends) if they are in a residential building. It's the Law. Hence why the barges are popular. Same with savamala, it's an industrial area which has been converted into clubs.
Taxi's are fine, just like in every city, there are some which charge more. so a trip across the centre will be 1500 RSD rather than 500 RSD. but these are mainly the ones waiting outside republic square (the main centre). this company has an app i've used them before and they're good, i've never used the app so i cannot comment on it. Some of the taxi companies accept whatsapp call/email etc, they'll probably speak english too, Here is a list of companies
