Nightlife of Bratislava

Café Bars – among the other options, city’s best nightlife takes place in the Old Town area, here traditional Slovak beer halls mix with upscale cocktail lounges and cafes. Old Town pubs close by midnight due to noise ordinances, thus clubs and live music venues are confined to business districts or the Danube riverbanks and stay open until 0400-0600. Pubs - For the more cosmopolitan and mixed crowd, try the downtown/city centre - you will find many places. Alternatively go for a great Czech beer on tap - lagers such as Budvar or Pilsner Urquell, Kozel, Radegast, Starobrno. Students also crowd into the Hysteria Pub near the ice hockey stadium on Odbojarov Street in the evenings.  Bars - In the centre, the newly open Malecon at Mostova draws crowds for mojitos and tasty food. The Coctail Bar on Panska is of the same flavour, as is the Greenwich Pub on Zelena, known to the locals as the Coctail Bar (sic), but neither serves food. On the side of the castle hill on Beblaveho Street you can find a few friendly bars clustered together, some even open quite late every night. U Certa, Vydrica and Andy Drink-in Gallery are well worth visiting for their laid back ambience and the local crowd. Restaurants - The taste of traditional Pressburg drawing on Austrian and Hungarian culinary traditions is offered in Leberfinger, across the Danube from the Old Town. Another highly recommended restaurant with traditional Old Bratislava fare is Modra Hviezda (The Blue Star) located in Beblaveho street, a narrow street on the way to the castle, serving meals in the Slovak, Austrian and Hungarian traditions and great Slovak wines complemented with a little bit of history written onto the menu. If you are interested in the more exotic restaurant offerings (Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Middle Eastern...), see our Ethnic Restaurants in Bratislava listings. Clubs - Jazz Cafe on Venturska offers live jazz every evening from Wednesday to Saturday at 9 p.m. You may also try Cafe Studio Club on Laurinska, which offers live music many nights of the week. The Flamenco Music Club on Stefanikova is a very popular spot with hot latino rhythms into the early morning hours. Gay Bratislava - for clubbing, try Gay Club Apollon on Panenska 24, Gay Party at the Krater Club on Saturday nights or Barbaros Disco and Bar at Vysoka. Other popular hangouts with a mixed crowd include the café Antik (see above).
