Bratislava is an exciting place where you can experience much more than just a history tour. The Slovak capital has embraced its charming small town feel (everything is pretty much walking distance) and blended it successfully with cosmopolitan influences of much larger European cities. The result is a thriving night life scene, vivid, colourful, and most of all wildly entertaining. Visitors are often pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of pubs, clubs, bars and cafés available for night-long drinking, dancing, partying or just chilling with some old and some new-found friends. The people are laid-back and keen to socialize and, of course, to party like there s no tomorrow. No matter what has led you to Bratislava, one night will make you long for more. Come and have a taste of the local cuisine, see how it feels to lose track of time, and how easy it is to fall in love with local party scene. Welcome to Bratislava s buzzing nightlife.

1. BARROCK Aj rokeri chcú občas žúrovať! Lenže nie všetci fandia ošarpaným, zadymeným putikám. Takže Barrock servíruje okrem fantastických burgrov a rebierok svoju upscale verziu rokenrolu dospelej, o niečo prieberčivejšej klientele. Klasická americká strava, pivo a samozrejme slušný výber whisky, obrazovky s permanentne pustenými športovými prenosmi, gitarový rock na plné gule a cigarový lounge mohlo by sa zdať, že Barrock myslí výhradne na svojich mužských zákazníkov. Prekvapí vás teda, že sa tu zvyčajne vlní celé more krásnych žien? Centrálna poloha klubu sa stará aj o stabilný prísun medzinárodných hostí a ak z nejakého dôvodu túžite tancovať na stoloch, v Barrocku sa to deje pravidelne. Rockers want to party, too! Yet not all the rockers fancy seedy, shabby drinking dens. Trendier, discerning rock fans flock to centrally located Barrock for fantastic burgers, juicy ribs and a slightly upscale version of rock n roll entertainment. You can enjoy some classic American fare in this handsome pub, there s no shortage of beer and quite an impressive whiskey selection. TV screens showing sport matches are on around the clock, guitar rock plays in the background and a cigar lounge caters to leather-clad tobacco aficionados. Barrock, however, is far from being only a gentlemen s club, as lady rockers find this burger haven just as attractive as the guys do. Barrock appeals to its fans all week long, but the fun intensifies on weekend nights, when the whiskey gets flowing (and table top dancing naturally ensues). All american, fun, rock, good looking crowd, beer, upscale pub Sedlárska 1, Bratislava www.medusagroup.sk/#barrock www.facebook.com/barrockbratislava PO / MO 17:00 01:00 UT ST / TU WE 17:00 03:00 ŠT / TH 17:00 04:00 PI SO / FR SA 17:00 05:00 NE / SU 17:00 01:00 Night life

2. MUSIC GALLERY U DEŽMÁRA Keď jeden z najlepších slovenských bubeníkov vezme do rúk klub, nemôže to dopadnúť inak ako hudobne. Funk, rock, jazzrock a občas aj blues v Music Gallery u Dežmára pod vedením Martina Valihoru sa hráva často a nahlas, pričom spolu s prvotriednymi lokálnymi hráčmi tu šancu dostávajú aj mladé nevycválané kapely. Valihora zároveň využíva svoje bohaté hudobné kontakty a občas pritiahne na pódium niekoho spoza hraníc našej republiky. Klub je rozľahlý, s priestormi na prízemí, poschodí aj v podzemí, plus príjemná záhrada v outdoore. Nečakajte však žiadny luxus s bielymi obrusmi Dežmár je vprvom rade krčma a okrem kvalitnej hudobnej produkcie tu k pivu dostanete napríklad aj klobásu s baraními rohmi. Len vedzte, že popíjate bok po boku so špičkou slovenskej hudobnej scény. When one of Slovakia s best drummers decides to run a club, the outcome can t be anything but a musical gem offering funk, rock, jazz-rock and sometimes blues. Martin Valihora created an unpretentious concert venue, where first-class musicians proudly dictate the sound and young talented bands follow suit. Martin Valihora uses (quite effectively) his name and talent to lure important players from near and far, for the hearing pleasure of the discerning crowds. The club itself is spacious, with several separate rooms, in addition to a charming outdoor garden. Don t expect white tablecloths or fancy silverware though; Dežmár is, first and foremost, a down-to-earth watering hole for undemanding patrons. Great jazz or blues will be neatly complemented with cold beer and some no-nonsense Slovak food (sausages included). Just know you are dining with some of the best from the Slovak music scene. unpretentious, pub, live music venue, concerts, garden, beer, jazz, funk, down-to-earth, rock Klariská 1, Bratislava www.musicgallery.sk/ www.facebook.com/pages/ MUSIC-GALLERY-u-Dežmára PO NE / MO SU 14:00 04:00 6 7

3. KONTAKT Novootvorený klub Kontakt priniesol trochu alternatívy do inak vyglančeného centra mesta a medzi úhľadnými teraskami okolitých podnikov sa vyníma ako biela vrana. Alebo skôr čierna ovca rodiny. Mladí a draví majitelia prišli s nesmierne ambicióznym multikonceptom, ktorý nič neobišiel: hudba, pitie, jedlo, umenie, prednášky, workshopy, party, filmy, pričom zaostrené je na zábavu a oddych pre dospelých aj deti. Kontakt chce byť skutočným kultúrnym centrom a púta pozornosť aj lodným kontajnerom, ktorý si kontaktisti drzo vyložili priamo pred dvere a predĺžili tak svoje priestory o improvizované detské ihrisko. Cool a avantgardná mládež Kontakt okamžite poctila svojou priazňou a cez víkendy sa tu tvrdo žúruje. Hudba všakovaká, najmä elektronická menovite mimo hlavný prúd. The recently opened Kontakt club brought a taste of the alternative to the city centre s (mostly) polished elegance, and became a white crow (or black sheep if you like) among the neatly decorated terraces of near-by places. The young enthusiastic owners came up with an ambitious, artsy, cross-genre concept: the club unites music, drinks, food, art, workshops, parties and gallery exhibitions. Its focus is not only on fun for adults, but includes their offspring as well. Kontakt, aspiring to become a true cultural hub in town, both attracts and infuriates people with its boldly colored ship container, cheekily placed in front of the club. Kontakt has turned it into a playground where kids can run wild and free while their parents sip coffee or wine. For some this venue is a little too hip, but the cool and avant-garde youths annexed Kontakt right away, and they party hard over the weekends. Music varies but electronic beats dominate and the leitmotiv of Kontakt probably is no mainstream please. underground, a little too hip, artsy, doubles as an art gallery, during the days kids friendly, cultural meeting point, exhibitions, workshops, alternative Ventúrska 12, 811 01 Bratislava www.kontaktuj.sk www.facebook.com/kontaktuj PO ST / MO WE 10:00 24:00 ŠT / TH 10:00 2:00 PI / FR 10:00 3:00 SO / SA 10:00 24:00 Night life

4. TRAFO MUSIC BAR Notoricky známa diskotéka Trafo music club sa nachádza v podzemí historického Erdődyho paláca z 18. storočia, s funkčnou trafo stanicou priamo v interiéri klubu. Ceny drinkov sú nastavené vyššie ako bratislavský priemer, no barmani sú v remesle celkom slušne podkutí, takže vám pravdepodobne bude chutiť. V tomto podniku majú dámy spravidla vstup lacnejší ako páni, a to dokonca viac ako o polovicu. Hudba je zameraná na komerčný house, hip-hop a r n b, hrávajú pomerne známi lokálni DJi. Skalných fanúšikov Trafa spoznáte podľa výdatného mejkapu (ženy), mohutných svalov (muži) a komba solárium plus mnohé plastické operácie (muži i ženy). Nenechajte sa však odradiť, pretože Trafo sa skutočne vie zabávať a okolo polnoci už temperamentné osadenstvo radostne a svorne poskakuje ako jedno telo, a zaručene tu neuvidíte žiadnu zamračenú tvár (čo ale samozrejme môže byť aj tým botoxom). Trafo music club is based in the historic underground premises of the 18th century Erdody s Palace. The famous local disco is well known for its peculiar interior centrepiece; a working power transformer that gave the joint its name. Prices are set a tad higher than in most Bratislava bars, but the bartenders are skilled and their cocktails are worth the price tag. Ladies get in for less than half the price of gentlemen s entrance fee and (mostly) local DJs play mainstream house, hip-hop or r n b. You ll easily spot the regulars of the club by generously applied make-up (women), bulky physiques (men) and the timeless combo of fake tans and loads of cosmetic surgery (both sexes). Don t let this put you off though; Trafo really knows how to party and around midnight, you just might find yourself singing along to some cheesy tune with the rest of the ecstatic crowd. loads of fun, house, skimpy dresses, cocktails, dancing Ventúrska 1, Erdödy Palace, 811 01 Bratislava medusagroup.sk/home#trafo www.facebook.com/trafobar PO SO / TH SA 21:00 05:00 8 9

5. RIO Rio je diskotéka ako sa patrí: s kilami mejkapu, lodičkami a odhalenými hruďami, chodí sa sem piť (v ponuke je 150 rôznych cocktailov), tancovať a samozrejme bezostyšne baliť príslušníkov opačného pohlavia. Krásnych žien a zhovorčivých, zábavychtivých turistov je tu vždy dostatok. Klientela je tu pekne medzinárodná, diskogule blýskavé, sukne nebezpečne krátke a tanečný parket malý, no živý. Hudba patrí skôr k tanečnému mainstreamu, takže sem pokojne môžete vziať aj konzervatívnejších kamarátov. Na svoje si prídu aj milovníci mohutných stejkov, keďže Rio má aj elegantný dining room s (dosť vysoko nacenenou) argentínskou kuchyňou a dobrým vínom, takže noc môžete začať poriadnou výživnou večerou. Reštaurácia má aj príjemnú celoročnú terasu, využiteľnú v teplejších mesiacoch na vyvetranie po tancovačke. Rio is as disco as it gets with tons of make-up, stilettos and men in deep V- neck cuts, so no meticulously worked out chest muscle goes unnoticed. Rio is a cocktail place; too, with a wide selection of over 150 concoctions. Standard dance music reigns here and people come first and foremost to flirt (and more). There s no shortage of cute girls or handsome men and tourists are naturally fond of this club s sexy vibe. International clientele, shiny disco balls, dangerously short skirts and bright dance floor define this spot. The music played is middle of the road; it won t offend even 40-somethings and does not require special dancing skills. Steak and meat lovers will love Rio s elegant but fairly pricey dining room upstairs, famed for Argentinian cuisine and some really tasty wines. If you want to start the night with a nice dinner, the restaurant offers a romantic terrace with a view of one of Bratislava s largest, most beautiful squares. classical discotheque, international crowd, loads of fun, dancing, steaks, drinks Hviezdoslavovo námestie 15, 811 01 Bratislava www.medusagroup.sk/#rio www.facebook.com/riorestaurant ST SO / WE SA 20:00 05:00 Night life

6. LE CLUB Le Club ponúka upscale diskotékový zážitok dospelej klientele, ktorá si okrem ľahko počúvateľnej hudby potrpí aj na kvalitu drinkov, elegantný dekor a promptný servis. O poriadok sa starajú mohutní vyhadzovači a môžete tu občas stretnúť miestnu smotánku. Cocktaily sú na úrovni a tak sú aj nacenené. Klientela je pekne vyobliekaná a upravená, v luxusnom interiéri Le Clubu by to ani inak nešlo. Ako jeden z mála klubov ponúka Le Club obsluhu aj pri stoloch a vy nemusíte postávať pri barovom pulte. DJi hrajú prevažne pre uši nad 20, takže hudba nie je príliš výstredná taký príjemný tanečný mainstream. Ak vás neláka predstava chaotickej pubertálnej hopsanice a máte nejaký ten cash navyše, Le Club vám bude stopercentne vyhovovať. Le Club promises to provide for its grown-up clients who are looking for classy drinks with an upscale disco experience; it all starts with its swanky décor and ends with first-class service. The entrance is guarded by statuesque bouncers and you might soon find out why. Le Club is a favourite hang out for local celebrities, including sportsmen, TV starlets and politicians. A dress code is strongly recommended and most guests obey it without complaints; the club is accordingly lavishly decorated. Efficient waiters serve directly to your table, which allows you to comfortably sit back and enjoy the ride while listening to DJs playing standard house music for the sophisticated guests. Le Club is the perfect choice for peeps that ve had enough of rowdy teenage partying and lowbrow booze; and of course for everyone willing to spend the cash. pricey, elegant, classy, cocktails, dressy, sexy, smart, posh, upper crust, sophisticated Hviezdoslavovo námestie 182/25, 811 02 Bratislava www.medusagroup.sk/#le-club ST SO / WE SA 20:00 05:00 10 11

7. THE CLUB The Club posunul latku bratislavských diskoték poriadne vysoko. Podnik sa nachádza v luxusných priestoroch hotela Inn v Bratislave, má desať VIP boxov, blýskavé lustre, zvodné gogo tanečnice a biele kožené sedenie. Klub nehostí iba bratislavských DJov za gramcami sa tu už ukázali aj zahraniční hudobníci, ale tiež DJi skutočne svetového charakteru. Ak si potrpíte na zábavu plnú prepychu a krásnych, sporo odetých žien a radi by ste vyvenčili svoje nové Versace tričko, zamierte cez víkend do The Clubu. Dobré drinky, sexy klientela, pekný, upravený a svižný personál, ktorý každý večer podáva stopercentný výkon. A samozrejme veľa výstrihov a zlatých reťazí. Žúruje sa od štvrtka do soboty. This upscale, classy dance club (situated in the elegant premises of the Inn Hotel), raised the bar of Bratislava s discotheques sky high right after its opening. The space was designed with a stylish and demanding clientele in mind and it s certainly a looker. Expect fancy VIP boxes, glistening chandeliers, sizzling hot go-go dancers and white leather sofas. The music played is provided by famous Slovak and international DJs. The Club continues to be the standard-bearer of local disco fashion style, so if you re in the mood to play a little dress up and can t wait to show off your new designer clothes, this is the place. The staff are extremely proficient and can whip up a mean drink in seconds. Attractive crowd nicely rounds off the overall first class experience. Party time Thursday to Saturday. classical discotheque, international crowd, loads of fun, dancing, steaks, drinks Rybné námestie 1, 811 02 Bratislava www.theclubbratislava.sk www.facebook.com/kartell.clubmix ŠT SO / TH SA 22:00 5:00 Night life

8. KC DUNAJ Slovenskí hipsteri našli pre svoje vytočené fúzy a tričká s ironickými nápismi útočisko v budove legendárneho obchodného domu z čias bývalého režimu. Húfne sa tu zbiehajú nielen cez víkendy, ale aj cez týždeň, kedy sa v KC Dunaj premietajú filmy, diskutujú hip témy a samozrejme čapuje (originálny slovenský) cider. Víkendové večery patria koncertom a žúrom, ktoré žánrovo siahajú od starých rokenrolov cez cutting edge elektroniku až po nesmierne populárne Balkan či swing nights, počas ktorých sa klub mení na retro tančiareň zo začiatku minulého storočia (čomu sa mimoriadne tešia najmä hostia, ktorí sa radi príslušne nahodia). Piatky aj soboty sa po polnoci do preplneného klubu tradične stojí šóra a dnu sa dostanete len výmenou za niekoho, kto odchádza. Klientela býva zvyčajne veľmi mladá, medzinárodná a priateľská a mohutne sa zgrupuje na slávnej terase s krásnym výhľadom (a možnosťou fajčiť). Večer v Dunaji vás určite nezruinuje, ceny sú tu študentské. Na bare nehľadajte žiadnu serióznu mixológiu, zato sa pripravte na dlhé-predlhé čakanie na drink. Slovak hipsters found a second home for their moustaches and cynical t-shirts inside a legendary shopping mall from the bygone Communist era. Weekends and sometimes even week nights attract the local (and international) indie clientele, flocking to the cultural centre in herds. Expect an eclectic choice of music, DJs, concerts, movie screenings, discussions and festivals, all accompanied with fairly tasty drinks (including cider). An evening here won t ruin you; prices can perfectly accommodate students wallets. Do not expect sophisticated drinks mixology and be ready for very, very long lines at the bar. Weekend evenings are dedicated to concerts and parties: old rock and roll sounds, crooning from vinyl records, cutting edge electronic beats, the incredibly popular Balkan music or swing nights that turn the place into a cultured old school dancing venue from the early 19 hundreds, with accordingly dressed visitors, as a cherry on top. Fridays and Saturdays mean a lengthy wait at the gates. The crowd is usually young, cosmopolitan and very friendly, nestling in small groups on the outdoor terrace that has a stunning view (smoking permitted). cosmopolitan crowd, hipsters, music venue, laid-back, friendly prices, terrace with a view, young hip crowd, artsy, indie, gets crowded Nedbalova 3, 811 01 Bratislava www.kcdunaj.sk www.facebook.com/kcdunaj PO NE / MO SU 14:00 04:00 12 13

9. NU SPIRIT CLUB Ak sa chcete vyhnúť čoraz komerčnejšej atmosfére nočnej Bratislavy a stráviť čas s ľudmi, ktorí majú rovnaký pohľad na svet ako vy, tak oba podniky fungujúce pod brandom Nu Spirit sú tu práve pre vás. Dji a živé kapely vystupujúci v Nu Spirit Bare a Nu Spirit Clube hrajú rozmanité žánre od jazzu cez hip hop po house alebo drum and bass. Hudba, ktorú v Nu Spirite počujete, nesie spoločného menovateľa, má dušu. Nu Spirit Club nájdete na Štúrovej 3 v Luxor pasáži, len niekoľko minút peši od historického centra. Podzemný priestor s hlavným nefajčiarskym parketom a oddelenou fajčiarskou časťou so samostatným zvukom ponúka ideálny zážitok pre náročnejších kluberov a každého, kto si chce dať drink v priateľskom prostredí a s kvalitnou hudbou. V programe sú okrem koncertov a víkendových parties s top zahraničnými a domácimi DJmi aj špecialitky ako barový kvíz, stand-up comedy alebo fashion show. Klub je obvykle otvorený do skorého rána od stredy do soboty, skontrolujte však web stránku, či sa niečo nedeje aj v iné dni. Na vikendové parties sa dá často dostať aj zadarmo, stačí prísť pred desiatou. If you want to escape the increasingly commercial atmosphere of the city s nightlife and spend time with like-minded people, then the two venues bearing the Nu Spirit name tag are the right places for you. They cater to customers who look for something more than what the current mainstream showbiz has to offer. DJs and live bands play soulful music, varying from jazz and indie to hip hop, house or drum n bass. The Nu Spirit Club is located on Sturova 3 in Luxor Passage, a few minute walk from the Old Town. An underground location with the main non-smoking stage and a separate smoking floor, it offers the ultimate Bratislava night life experience for a discerning clubber or just anybody who prefers to have a drink in a friendly atmosphere with good music. The venue is open late from Wednesday to Saturday but check the web site for occasional events on other days. Entry prices vary from zero to 10 euros (for parties with well known headliners). underground, smoking and non-smoking rooms, top DJs, great music, quality sound, dancing, signature drinks, tasty cocktails Štúrova 3, pasáž Luxor, Bratislava www.nuspirit.sk/en/ www.facebook.com/nuspiritclub ST SO / WE SA 20:00 06:00 Night life

10. NU SPIRIT BAR Nu Spirit Bar na Medenej 16 je priestor kde to všetko v roku 2001 začalo. Táto bývalá pivnica s kapacitou 60 ľudí ponúka tú istú atmosféru ako jej mladší a väčší brat Nu Spirit Club (pozri predošlú stranu), od ktorého sa nachádza dve minúty pešo, ale v omnoho intímnejšom prostredí. Bar je otvorený sedem dní v týždni do skorého rána a za mixpultom vždy nájdete niektorého z top domácich DJov. Je to skutočné útočisko pre všetkých, ktorí aj v hudbe hľadajú kvalitu, undergroundové hniezdo, ktoré však ponúka overgroundový komfort. Za viac ako dekádu sa na Nu Spirit pódiách vystriedali držitelia Grammy ako Robert Glasper alebo David Sanborn, hudobní inovátori ako Jamie Woon alebo Jimmy Edgar ako aj legedárni DJi, producenti a otcovia elektronickej hudby ako LTJ Bukem alebo Hardfloor. Značka Nu Spirit však nie len o hudbe. Aby sa párty stala naozaj nezabudnuteľnou, tak dobrú hudbu musia sprevádzať aj dobré drinky. Oba Nu Spirit podniky majú širokú ponuku alkoholických a nealkoholických nápojov, vrátane koktejlov alebo vína, aké len tak ľahko nenájdete v bežnom nočnom klube. The underground cave-like cellar for roughly 60 people, is the place where the legendary Nu Spirit brand started back in 2001. It is located on Medená street, a mere two-minute walk from its bigger and younger brother named the Nu Spirit Club. Nu Spirit Bar (formerly known as Buddha Bar) offers a similar vibe but in far more intimate surroundings. Opened seven days a week until the wee small hours, it hosts top-notch local DJs playing various soulful genres. The bar is a real sanctuary for people who are somewhat more discerning about their music. Get ready for a taste of genuine Bratislava underground. Over the years, the Nu Spirit venues have hosted Grammy-winning musicians such as Robert Glasper and David Sanborn, some of the freshest acts on the scene such as Jamie Woon or Jimmy Edgar and legendary DJs/producers including LTJ Bukem and Hardfloor. Still, Nu Spirit isn t only about music, as good music has to be accompanied with a proper drinking culture to make for an unforgettable party. Nu Spirit venues offer large selection of excellent drinks for reasonable prices, including original signature cocktails. underground, smoking and non-smoking rooms, top DJs, great music, quality sound, dancing, signature drinks, tasty cocktails Medená 16, Bratislava http://www.nuspirit.sk/en/ https://www.facebook.com/nuspiritbar PO PI / MO FR 10:00 03:00 SO / SA 17:00 03:00 NE / SU 17:00 01:00 14 15

11. ATELIÉR BABYLON Čoraz populárnejší Ateliér Babylon v priestoroch dávno zrušeného kina spája uvoľnenosť hudobného klubu s eleganciou divadla a trochou prívetivého oldschool šarmu. Oplatí sa ho navštíviť najmä v chladných mesiacoch, kedy organizátori vyberú to najlepšie z domácej, no tiež zahraničnej hudobnej scény. Pri komornejších koncertoch sa nesedí klasicky v radoch, ale okolo stolíkov, takže si môžete kultúrny zážitok vychutnávať spolu s drinkom zo starobylého baru. Ponuka baru je skromná, no lacná. Nad hlavným auditóriom je k dispozícii VIP balkón s kapacitou sto hláv, kde v prítmí pravidelne zahliadnete známe tváre miestneho muzikantského neba. Na väčších akciách sa sála zbaví stolov i sedenia a vznikne tak poriadny kotol, ktorý už priviedli do varu mnohí hudobníci svetového formátu. Babylon doposiaľ navštívili hviezdy ako Jay-Z, Fugees, Garbage, Living Colour, Black Eyed Peas či Natasha Bedingfield a je miestom skutočne serióznych hudobných podujatí. Atelier Babylon, tucked in a narrow street behind the oldest McDonalds in town, it exudes the elegance of an a movie theatre with an alluring oldschool charm it resides in a former cinema which shut down a long time ago. The best time to visit this unusual music venue is in the autumn and winter, as the schedule for the colder season is filled with events and performances of local and international musicians.

12. BEABOUT Podnik pre všetkých, ktorí sa necítia doma v žiadnej subkultúre. Aj normálni ľudia sa chcú občas baviť! Cez deň chladivá podzemná reštaurácia s klasickou americkou kuchyňou sa po zotmení mení na príjemný night club s uvoľnenou atmosférou a hlučnou zábavou. Okrem mainstreamovo tanečných akcií tu občas hrávajú menej známe miestne kapely, popri menšom tanečnom parkete sú v Beabout k dispozícii aj veľkorysé boxy na sedenie pre väčšie skupiny. Cez víkend býva otvorené do skorých ranných hodín. Môže sa však stať, že večer bude pokojnejší, takže radšej príďte s vlastnou partiou a oc si poriadne užijete. A vystriehnite si príjemné cenové akcie na burgre! BeAbout is place for all outcasts of the outcasts, or simply anyone who feels awkward in any kind of subculture. You know, normal people want to hang out and have some fun, too! BeAbout feels like a family-run business. A casual American style restaurant by day (expect filling burgers and chicken wings) that turns into a fun night club at night, with mainstream dance parties and occasional concerts of lesser known local bands. BeAbout also boasts spacious booths for larger groups and remains open until early mornings over the weekend. Some evenings in this underground spot can be pretty quiet, so bring your own company and prop up the fun yourself. An important tip: watch out for the burger happy hour; their patties are out of this world. chicken wings, burger happy hours, cozy and intimate seating for larger groups, turns into a fun night club after dark, friendly, laid-back Prešernova 4, 811 02 Bratislava http://www.beabout.sk/ https://www.facebook.com/beabout.eatndrink PO UT / MO TU 10:00 22:30 ST PI / WE FR 10:00 24:00 SO / SA 15:00 04:00 16 17

13. ROCK OK Ak vám nadránom v najlepšom švungu zatvoria dvere pred nosom, nezúfajte. Rockový bar Rock OK je najdlhšie otvorený klub v Bratislave. Zabávať sa tu môžete až do šiestej hodiny rannej, teda za predpokladu, že rock je vaša šálka čaju. Rock OK sa nehrá na nič, čím nie je: nechýbajú drevené stoly, tehlové steny, veľa piva a ešte viac dlhých vlasov. Nachádza sa síce v centre mesta (pri obchodnom dome Eurovea), no ceny má nastavené veľmi priateľsky. Podnik stavil aj na zľavy počas večera, na alkohol je tu skoro každý deň nejaká tá fajná happy hour. Kuchyňa je otvorená do neskorých večerných hodín. Živé hranie zabezpečujú prevažne miestne rockové, ale aj akustické a punkové kapely, pravidelne tu býva aj tradičná rockotéka. Pre milovníkov čapovaného piva a hlučných gitarových riffov. It s early in the morning, bars are closing and you still feel like you haven t had enough? Do not lose heart, the music bar Rock OK is still open. Here you can party until 6AM and if rock is your cup of tea, we promise you will love it. There s nothing pretentious or snobby in the pub with the longest opening hours in Bratislava. Wooden tables, plain walls, lots of beer and tons of long hair. Rock OK can be found right in the city centre, close to the massive shopping centre Eurovea but the prices are far from being sky-high. There are numerous discounts at play and one can take advantage of happy hours almost every day. The kitchen stays open until very late, and music production consists of live concerts of local rock and punk bands; rock discos with the greatest hits in history of rock n roll are also part of the package. Rock OK is simply a true haven for lovers of tap beer (and never-ending guitar riffs). rock, metal, live music, beer, long opening hours, pub, happy hours, affordable drinks and food Šafárikovo nám. 4, 811 02 Bratislava www.rockok.sk www.facebook.com/pages/rockok/353521794709717 PO ŠT / MO TH 11:00 4:00 PI / FR 11:00 6:00 SO / SA 18:00 6:00 NE/ SU 18:00 4:00 Night life

14. RADOSŤ MUSIC BAR Chcete si užívať tanečnú hudbu, no nechce sa vám predierať davom vo veľkom, chaotickom klube? Dilemu za vás rieši príjemne chladivá tehlová pivnička so slabosťou pre dobrú elektroniku umiestnená pod zemou v niekdajšom nákupnom epicentre Bratislavy. Ak hľadáte skutočný relax, najmenší bratislavský klub Radosť vás spoľahlivo odreže od mobilného signálu. V podniku sa stretávajú pravidelné selektované hudobné noci, ktoré sa odohrávajú v komornej atmosfére spoza našlapaného soundsystému. Priestor je skutočne neveľký, pri stolíkoch sa sedí natesno, takže sa môžete beztrestne túliť k vedľasedacim spoluhosťom. No a čo k takémuto večeru patrí? Údajne najlepší Long Island Iced Tea v meste a vodná fajka s rôznymi príchuťami tabaku. Vstup do Radosti je často úplne zadarmo! Do you like electronic music, but hate waiting in queues and swimming in a ea of clubbers? This dilemma has a simple answer in Bratislava and its name is Radosť ( Joy ) Music Bar. A tiny underground brick cave in the heart of town, just off of one of the busiest shopping streets where young Slovaks like to hang out after hours. You ll find tons of cosy ambiance down there, but forget cell phone coverage. Radosť offers regular electronic music nights with free entry and boasts impeccable sound. Be prepared the place is really small and gets packed quickly, so you can easily make new friends while sitting shoulder to shoulder with local dance music devotees. What else is missing? Oh, yes, the cocktails. This place serves, rumour has it, the best Long Island Ice Tea in town and if you dig some hookah with your drinks, you can knock yourself out. dark, underground, free entry, electronic music, chill out, hookah, cozy, DJs Obchodná 48, 811 06 Bratislava www.mojaradost.sk/ www.facebook.com/radostmusicclub.bratislava.slovakia PO / MO THR 17:00 05:00 PIA / FR 15:00 05:00 SO / SA 17:00 05:00 18 19

15. BRITISH ROCKSTARS Tento klub nemôže byť zariadený inak ako v štýle britských rockových legiend. Ak máte nad posteľou plagáty Sabbath, Stones a Jethro Tull, hneď sa tu budete cítiť ako doma. Rozľahlý klub má kapacitu až 400 miest, je otvorený sedem dní v týždni a každý víkend tu na dvoch podlažiach a troch platformách (unplugged stage, main stage, rockparty) zažijete poriadne rockové peklo. Ak máte radi nadupané živé hranie, nájdete tu toho veľa: od jednoduchých gitarových kapeliek cez tvrdé punkové zostavy až po nadupané metalové masakre či temné industriálne formácie. Miešané nápoje sú tu o niečo lacnejšie ako v ostatných podnikoch v centre, do polnoci si k nim môžete dať aj poriadny burger alebo pizzu. Za zmienku stojí aj ponuka jedinečnej japonskej whisky Nikka. Veď kto hovorí, že rocker musí držať v ruke krígel piva? The name explains it all. So of course this club emulates the style of British rock legends, for all of you out there with Sabbath, Stones or Jethro Tull posters above your beds this is your home this is your place. The club offers up to 400 seats, is open every day and unleashes real rock madness on two floors with three separate stages (unplugged stage, main stage and rock party) every single weekend. There s plenty to enjoy for all live music fans: Spanish guitar formations, punk bands, full-throttle metal massacres or even dark industrial formations. Cocktail prices are friendly and you can order a proper burger or pizza until midnight. Oh and let s not forget the opportunity to order the extraordinary Japanese whiskey Nikka.

16. HIGH STREET CLUB Relatívne mladý High Street Club vznikol vo viacúrovňových podzemných priestoroch v centre mesta v blízkosti frekventovanej Obchodnej ulice. Je to klasicky blýskavá diskotéka s dvoma barmi a bežnou ponukou tropického pitiva. Ak sa chystáte na dámsku jazdu, rande, či iba na obyčajný výjazd s priateľmi, tento podnik môže byť dobrou voľbou, najmä ak sa chcete jednoducho bezproblémovo zabaviť a nepotrpíte si na DJov svetového mena. Interiér High Street Clubu je atypicky terasovito členený a i s priestormi na sedenie dostatočne rozľahlý. Samotné tanečné parkety má skôr menšie, čo nahráva neviazanému túleniu sa k neznámym. Pravidelne tu bývajú ladies nights, oldies party a občas nejaké to latino, pričom miestne barmanky aj gogo tanečnice sú nadmieru estetické. The multi-level High Street Club, located in the city centre, close to busy shopping street Obchodna, is a classical, brightly-lit discothèque with two bars and a fairly decent cocktail menu. This club is the right choice for standard disco music fans that don t gravitate towards any kind of underground scene. Several floor levels offer plenty of room to sit and enjoy tasty drinks and some conversation, while the smaller dance floors present a great opportunity to make new friends, as you simply can t avoid rubbing shoulders with other dancers. This place is all about ladies nights, international and oldies parties, LGBT nights and occasional Latino fiestas, with cute go-go dancers and equally charming bartenders. classical disco, ladies nights, go-go dancers, underground premises, mainstream dance music Vysoká 14, 811 06 Bratislava www.mojklub.sk www.facebook.com/highstreetclubba Opening hours: PIA SO / FR SA 21:00 5:00 20 21

17. BATELIÉR Ak sa na fungovaní klubu podpíšu kultúry z európskych metropol ako Londýn, Berlín či Paríž, vznikne z toho pozoruhodný počin. Ak vám uhladené, nablýskané diskotéky lezú hore krkom, príďte do Bateliéru. Tu vznikol interiér ako keby náhodou, strohé steny oživuje len trocha streetartovej estetiky, chilluje sa na secondhandových gaučoch a pije sa z plastu. Klub má multikultúrny hudobný záber: pravidelne tu hráva reggae a africké či balkánske rytmy, folk, world music, občas aj nejaká tá temnejšia alternatíva či iné okrajové žánre. Výber na bare nie je veľký, ponuke dominujú pivá a základné liehoviny, ceny sú príjemne študentské. Bateliér mocne priťahuje skalných reggae fans (a všetko čo s tým súvisí). Takže ak chcete byť v sobotu večer najmä v ťažkej pohode, bez váhania sem zamierte a chvíľku poseďte v miniparčíku pred vchodom. Batelier is an offbeat cocktail of cultural influences with discernible imprints of London, Berlin or Paris, all mixed in with some Slovak ingredients. This fresh indie hang-out is a popular choice of those tired of blingy cookie cutter discos. Batelier is definitely low-brow, scruffy and shabby, with unpretentious young crowd to boot. The interior incorporates rough street art aesthetics and there s a chillout-zone with second hand sofas. Drinks are served in plastic cups and are keenly-priced. No real genre confines for music are to be found here: there are regular reggae parties, African or Balkan beats, folk and world music, plus some really weird music acts from all over the world. Batelier gladly embraces darker alternative scene as well. The menu at the bar is super simple: basic drinks, spirits and beer. What else could you wish for? Well, you can join the merry groups of smokers in the tiny park outside, if that s your thing. No judgements here. underground, low-brow, simple, young crowd, scruffy, shabby, reggae, world music, concert venue Továrenská 14, 81109 Bratislava www.batelier.sk www.facebook.com/batelier1 UT ST / TU WE 19:00 00:00 ŠT / TH 19:00 2:00 PI SO / FR SA 21:00 4:00 Night life

18. FUGA V tomto meste niet temnejšieho miesta ako je Fuga. Techno všakovakého štýlu a iná drsná hudba s BPM 130 vás privíta pri vstupe do tejto alternatívnej jaskyne v industriálnej zóne na Továrenskej ulici, v pohodlnom pešom dosahu od centra Bratislavy. Ak vás zaujíma breakcore, hardcore, death, noiz, grindcore, mord core, industrial či iné príjemné melódie, ste na správnom mieste. Búchať hlavou v extrémnych rytmoch tu budete v príhodne betónovom interiéri. Najznámejšia a najnavštevovanejšia je miestna akcia s názvom Trashold, ktorá už niekoľko rokov skúma podoby rytmickej electro-bassovej hudby. A čo by to bolo za parties, keby sa nediali v sprievode hypnotickej videoprojekcie? Vo Fuge majú DJi silnú konkurenciu v podobe talentovaných VJ-ov. Ak nebudete vedieť, čo bolo lepšie, či obraz alebo zvuk, vedzte, že vvtom nie ste sami. Tu ste medzi svojimi. You d be hard pressed to find a darker place in this town. This heavy duty techno joint with appreciation for beats over 130 BPM, is appropriately located in the industrial zone of Tovarenska Street and is a comfortable walking distance from the city centre. Are you a fan of breakcore, hardcore, death, noiz, mord core, industrial and other lovely tunes to sing along to? Then this is your world; you can go crazy listening to extreme rhythms in the concrete, bare-walled cubicle. Fuga proudly hosts the créme de la créme of local and international music s avant-garde. Trashold is the most visited and most popular event, promoting all forms of rhythmic electro-bass music. A proper party needs matching video projections.

19. LOFT Budova Loftu slúžila kedysi na výrobné účely, čo prezradí jej drsný, industriálny feel. Majitelia však zapojili šikovné ruky dizajnérov a vytvorili miesto, z ktorého sála bohémska aj undergroundová atmosféra zároveň. Pravidelne tu vystupujú zaujímavé hviezdy svetovej scény, pričom Loft sa žánrovo príliš neobmedzuje a servíruje akcie širokého záberu. A je úplne jedno, v čom prídete, v Lofte vyzerá každý k svetu. Keď sa akcia vydarí, nájdete tu veselo poskakujúci dav, v skyboxe polihujú fešní, uvoľnení ľudia v kreslách a atmosféru dopĺňajú zaujímavé dekorácie. Sú tu však aj isté pravidlá: obsluha operuje výhradne na bare a fajčiť sa smie len vonku. Loft je aktívnejší v chladných mesiacoch, v lete sa žúry presúvajú do sesterského outdoorového klubu na brehu Dunaja (Pláž pod Ufom). Program radšej vždy skontrolujte vopred na menších akciách tu občas býva smutne prázdno. Loft can be found in a former factory and the industrial feel is well preserved in the current décor of the club. An architect s expert touch helped create a high-end concrete space with truly unique atmosphere. Loft operates mainly in the cold months, after its outdoor twin Pláž pod Ufom closes for the season. This is a club where real music stars come to play. It hosts parties, live concerts and film events, inviting all kinds of music genres from every corner of the world and thus attracting concert fanatics in herds. Don t worry about dress code you ll feel as cool as it gets in this chic urban spot. Once inside, join the happily jumping crowd on the floor or the urban socialites relaxing in the comfy sofas of the chill out zone. The atmosphere is laid-back, still, there are some rules to observe: there are no waiting staff (you ll need to get your drinks from the bar) and smoking is only permitted outside. Finally a chance to practice your chat-up lines on beautiful strangers.

20. SUBLCUB Subclub je naozajstný underground. Patrí ku kultovým bratislavským klubom a medzi DJmi a tanečnou bandou je známy aj za hranicami krajiny. Napríklad aj preto, že je zabudovaný v hradnej skale, pôvodne slúžil ako protiatómový kryt a tancovať sem chodili už mamy a tatkovia súčasného osadenstva. Aj keď sa podnik celé roky oficiálne volá inak, mnohí jeho (zarytí) návštevníci mu dodnes nepovedia inak ako Účko. Do útrob hradnej skaly sa ide neelegantne, v štekloch vám to pôjde horšie, najmä ak je blatisto. A vôbec, keď idete do Účka, štekle nechajte doma. Akcie sú prevažne tanečné (drum n bass, dupstep, techno), občas sa vyskytne nejaký ten dancehall alebo reggae, plus pravidelné indie nights. Ponuka baru je prostá a pre bežný ľud cenovo prístupná, ak vás rozbolia nohy, môžete posedieť na lavici alebo si zahrať stolný futbal. Obrovskú radosť robia clubberom aj ceny vstupného, ktoré niekedy dokonca neprekročí symbolické euro. Subclub is Bratislava s cult underground spot, well known to DJs and clubbers from both home and abroad. This former bomb shelter under the city castle hosted legendary dance parties for the moms and dads of today s audience. Subclub is still referred to by some as Účko (its original name), especially amongst the more mature fans of this club. Coming here, leave high heels at home, please you have to pass through a couple of long tunnels before entering the venue and taller clubbers might even need to bend slightly. Subclub is all about electronic music: drum n bass, dubstep, techno, occasionally there s reggae or dancehall and there are some regular indie nights. The bar menu is simple, prices friendly and if you tire of dancing, you can play (or watch) table football. Entrance fees are more than studentfriendly, sometimes even symbolic. underground, alternative, clubbing, table soccer, low ticket prices, legend, cult venue Nábrežie arm.gen. L.

21. PLÁŽ POD UFOM Otvorená len v teplejších mesiacoch, s dobrým jedlom, efektívnym personálom a slušným soundsystémom Pláž pod Ufom zaslúžene patrí medzi obľúbené miesta na žúry pod holým nebom, hoci je absolútne vydaná všanc poveternostným vplyvom a občas sa nejaká tá párty zruší tesne pred štartom. Tancovačky tu bývajú krásne uvoľnené, s prázdninovou atmosférou tropického ostrova. Bar s kuchyňou je otvorený aj cez deň a v lete v meste nájdete len málo príjemnejších miest na posedenie pri drinku môžete sa s pohárom zvaliť do plážového lehátka a užívať si výhľad na mesto spolu s fantastickým osviežením od rieky. Keď hrá DJ či živá kapela, pekní mladí ľudia sa tu radostne natriasajú v rytme latina či hojdajú spolu s hiphopom až do rána. Ideálny prístup k Pláži: jednoducho k nej prejdite peši cez Nový most. This charming open air bar, operating during warmer months only, offers a great view of Danube, plenty of sexy vibes, decent food, quick-footed staff and most importantly, a very good sound-system. Pláž pod Ufom ( Beach under the UFO ) on the river bank is a god-send for the local land bound summer lovers and is well known for its great parties under a starry sky. The open air setting (only part of the bar is covered) has its understandable cons: given its exposure to the Mother Nature and her whims, Pláž sometimes has to cancel a party shortly before the arranged start. The club has a tropical island feel and dancing gets carefree and wild well before midnight. In the summer you ll hardly find a better place to hang out: sun beds, fresh salads and sizzling meats from the grill, wicked cocktails and the majestic scenery on the other side of Danube make for a great city holiday chill out spot. The music is well taken care of by a large number of resident or visiting DJs and occasional live music performances, with good looking young crowds dancing to Latino or hip-hop beats until early morning hours. How to get to Pláž? It s easy cross the bridge (with the UFO on it) from the Old Town toward Petržalka district. Taking a bus or a cab is not really worth the hassle because it s a really lovely walk. beautiful crowd, sexy, flirty vibes, efficient staff, great view, outdoor, under the stars, good food Viedenská cesta, nábrežie pod Novým Mostom 851 05 Bratislava www.facebook.com/plazbratislava summer music venue, check out current line-up on the website (through QR code) Night life

22. MAJESTIC MUSIC CLUB Nenápadná budova v pešom dosahu od Hlavnej vlakovej stanice skrýva za svojimi stenami svet pravidelných koncertov prevažne tvrdšej hudby. Okrem toho je MMC sídlom elektrotanečných akcií ako Special Place či UKF dubstep. Klub žije najmä v chladnejších mesiacoch, pretože jeho priestory sa obmedzujú na vnútrajšok. Interiér je jednoduchý a funkčný, chodí sa sem najmä na koncerty na stojáka (a tancováka). Personál je pomerne promptný, no za pivo v plastovom pohári si priplatíte vratnú zálohu. Ak vo vás bdie duša rockera a holdujete metalu, punkrocku, gitarovým rifom či bigbeatu, MMC určite neobíďte; nezriedka tu hrávajú aj známe svetové kapely. Pozrite si však na webe program, pretože MMC otvára brány len v čase akcií. V budove sídlia aj ďalšie dva alternatívne kluby: rockový Randal a chill-out bar Hopkirk. The inconspicuous building within walking distance from the central train station is a sanctuary of hard-rock, punk and all sorts of metal, plus occasional series of popular electro parties such as Special Place or UKF DubStep. The venue comes to life especially in winter months, when all summer terraces shut down and party people gravitate towards warmer spaces. Forget fancy décor or even chairs for that matter; this place is designed for standing only (or dancing only, if that s more your thing). Staff is quick and efficient, but be ready to pay small deposit even on plastic cups. Shall your soul long for real rock, metal beats, punk-rock, guitar solos or big beat the MMC is your place. Check the website for line-up, as the venue is not in operation every day and opens its doors for events only. You will find the cool chill-out bar Hopkirk and an alternative music club Randal in the very same building. concert venue, rock, punk, metal, deposit on glasses Karpatská 2 (Budova YMCA), 811 05 Bratislava www.majestic.sk/en music venue, check out current line-up on the website (through QR code) 26 27

23. RANDAL CLUB Ako už názov napovedá, Randal nebude nič pre fanúšikov komorných klavírnych koncertov. Rockový podnik na rohu Šancovej a Žilinskej ulice je ideálnym miestom pre fajnšmekrov skutočne tvrdej hudby. Vypočuť si tu môžete punk, grind, metal, trashmetal, deathmetal a iné metaly, pričom po živých koncertoch spravidla nasleduje metalová diskotéka. V lete ponúka príjemné posedenie na terase a veľkým plusom baru je kuchyňa, kde sa dá slušne najesť, pričom ceny jedál a nápojov sú veľmi prijateľné. Drobnou nevýhodou Randalu je, že fajčenie je všade povolené a vzhľadom na to, že absentuje klimatizácia, domov prídete statočne vyúdení. Protihodnotou nech vám je kvalitné punkové natriasanie, keďže do Randalu nezriedka zablúdia aj svetové hviezdy drsnej hudby. The name of this club ( Roar ) says it all: this is no place for fans of intimate piano recitals. This rock-themed club (located at the crossroads of Sancova and Zilinska Streets), is a paradise for genuine hard rock enthusiasts. The sound system screams out loud punk, grind, metal, thrash metal, death metals plus other metals and the live concerts here are usually succeeded by similarly sounding discothèques. In the summer you can enjoy the airy terrace out front, while grabbing something, reasonably priced, to eat. A small downside: cigarettes are allowed in all areas and you ll get home properly smoked, given the absence of proper air-conditioning. This tiny turn off is, however, most definitely counterbalanced by the quality of music acts, often international stars. metal, grind, rock, live music Karpatská 2, 811 05 Bratislava www.randalclub.eu/en www.facebook.com/pages/ Randal-Club-livewild-rocknroll-music-club PO NE / MO SU 16:00 04:00 Night life

24. HOPKIRK Hopkirk nie je iba nočný klub okrem multižánrových akcií, workshopov či malých koncertov ponúka totiž pravidelne aj výstavy mladého alternatívneho súčasného umenia. Radi kreslíte a nerobí vám problém tvoriť pred cudzími ľuďmi? V Hopkirku máte k dispozícii skicáre s kresliarskymi potrebami. Nájdete tu aj voľne dostupnú knižnicu či šach. Ležérnemu relaxu nahráva aj výrazne pohodlné sedenie. Klub ponúka širokú škálu kvalitných čajov, absintu a samozrejme piva. Bonus: Hopkirk je otvorený každý deň, pričom trikrát do týždňa sa v ňom môžete v rámci akcie Chillout night hĺbkovo odreagovať od každodennej reality. Hudba aj osadenstvo patria skôr k alternatíve, takže sako a kravatu naozaj nechajte doma. A pozor ak si potrpíte na extrémne úslužný personál, zamierte radšej inam. Hopkirk is more than just a party night club; it hosts a number of cross-genre events, workshops, small concerts and regular exhibitions of young alternative artists. If you like to draw and are not shy to create in front of a crowd, then Hopkirk provides you with the opportunity (sketch pads and tools to express yourself, are available). You can also play chess or enjoy books from the bookshelf, grab something to drink, kick back and relax in comfortable sofas... Hopkirk is more something of an overgrown living room than just a bar. The club stocks a variety of quality teas as well as beer and absinthe. It is open daily, offering an escape from harsh outside reality and three times a week there is a regular party aptly named Chillout. This place is cozy and low key, so leave your tie and dress shoes at home. A word of warning: if you insist on super attentive staff, go someplace else. down-to-earth, cozy, alternative, games, artsy, young artsy crowd Karpatská 2 (budova YMCA), 811 05 Bratislava www.hopkirk.sk www.facebook.com/pages/hopkirk-bar PO ŠT / MO TH 16:00 2:00 PI SO / FR SA 16:00 4:00 NE / SU 16:00 22:00 28 29

25. U OČKA Názov tohto podniku je odvodený od slávnej nalievárne zo seriálu Simpsonovci (Moe s v slovenskom preklade U Očka). Táto alternatívna hudobná piváreň má s tou animovanou spoločný nielen názov, ale aj oddanosť svojich štamgastov. Interiér je zariadený v krčmovom ráze v mene prostej účelnosti, po stranách však nechýbajú reflektory a bodové svetlá určené pre živé hranie. Prelína sa tu hudobná produkcia pestrých žánrov: koncerty od mystických cez psychadelické až po tvrdý hardcore. A ak budete mať šťastie, zachytíte jednu z mnohých akcií na panáky, ktoré posúvajú ceny tvrdého alkoholu nebezpečne nízko. Ak chcete skutočne zapadnúť medzi miestnu krčmovú smotánku, toto je pre vás ideálny podnik. The name of this unapologetically lowbrow place comes from the famous Moe s bar in the Simpson s tv series and just like its cartoon counterpart, this pub is a magnet for loyal beer worshippers. Interior is simple and just as no-fuss as the crowd. Come enjoy a live concert as a good start to a downtown crawl, or simply kick back for a few hours with several pints of beer. The music played here is diverse: from oddly mystical and psychedelic gigs to hardcore and offbeat folk. If you feel like getting a taste of a local beer saloon with its authentic atmosphere, you are in the right place. Maybe you ll be lucky enough to find yourself here during their famous happy hour that sends the prices on shots dangerously low. mostly local crowd, down-to-earth, low-key, no frills, beer, shots Karpatská 3, 811 05 Bratislava ww.uocka.sk www.facebook.com/uocka PO PI / MO FR 10:00 24:00 SO/ SA 18:00 24:00 Night life
