Bratislava Clubs
On Laurinska, try Cafe Studio Club, which offers live music many nights of the week. Nearby Aligator is mainly rock orientated and frequently features live bands. A Cuban band plays most nights at the very popular Malecon near Reduta.
A hugely popular spot is the Cirkus Barok, a dance club and bar with several floors in a ship anchored on the Danube bank just across the road from the Devin Hotel, near the New Bridge. For something more glitzy and discoish (and a meat-market atmosphere) try La Verna on the SNP Square by the Old Town Market. For a student crowd, Unique Club at the university dormitories in Mlynská dolina is a sought after hang-out (also popular with students are the nearby Elam and Casey). Metro Music Club in the Slovenska Sporitelna building at Suche Myto offers a mixture of styles, including hip-hop nights.
The cosy, really chill, mostly downtempo Nu Spirit Bar (formerly known as Buddha Bar) on Medena features DJs on most nights - the soothing nu jazz draws a sophisticated crowd of different age groups. DJs can also be found at Radost, an underground chill-out bar and club on Obchodna, the recently refurbished Duna on Obchodna is popular with the young underground crowd. A young crowd also chills at Channels with two underground floors of varied electronica on Zupne namestie. Subclub, a former nuclear fall-out shelter on the river side of the castle hill just behind the New Bridge is a unique experience, mainly for techno fans. A more up-scale clubbing experience can be found on good nights at Trafo, a trendy club with European prices in the pedestrian zone on Venturska.
The once famous Charlie's Pub has reopened across from the Kyjev Hotel behind Tesco, connecting to its tradition of 90s tunes and hot dancing. Dopler is a large venue on Prievozska, taxi-ride distance from the centre with many dance events popular with a young crowd.
The biggest club nights, of course, are Friday and Saturday but Thursdays and even Wednesdays can get reasonably lively at some of the more popular venues. For event and party listings see BratislavaGuide.com's Bratislava Event Calendar.

Before going to Brat I read so many bad reviews about the place but it was totally opposite their were 14 boys from London on my stag and we all loved it. We all were drunk but no stupidly drunk that we made fools about ourselves. Basically treat the locals right their will give you respect. We met so many friendly locals. End off don’t be stupid…

Just got back from a Rugby tour to Bratislava. Everything was fantastic except for the Dubliner where one of our team had his jaw broken in 3 places with a baseball bat by the bouncers. I'm sorry but a broken jaw for celebrating beating the local team. Will be avoiding the place now and advising everyone else we know to do the same. If you want a safe place to tour AVOID Bratislava

Having spent the last 9 months living and working in Bratislava I have come across very few amiable people in this city. It is not simply a case of drunk brits(or other nationalities) giving rise to the general antipathy expressed by the locals. 95% of bar/club/restaurant disfavour foreigners in general esp. brits. I have witnessed raucous and rowdy behaviour by local men as that witnessed in th UK. I have never seen brits being overly rude or loud to an extent that differs from the locals. Mind you, there was one occasion when I saw a small group of brits make a right scene in the Irish Pub after being highly overcharged and abused by the male barstaff, eventually these poor lads who had not merited such dealings where soon surrounded by a group of tall, mean looking local men who intimidated them into paying the well over-charged bill and continued to throw them out. Bratislavans, simply put, are a xenophobic and intolerant bunch, full stop. They are eager to take foreigner's money but decline to express any of the hospitality associated in the 'very lucrative' tourism industry. Bratislava is not a city that is welcome to the prevailing attitude of other European cities, which greet their guests with the simple courtesies typical in tourism and hospitality. We as foreign visitors to this city do not wish or even ask to be liked, we just ask that you show us the highly merited respect for bestowing you with our hard earned cash. I will leave this city not with the memories of its great architecture and beautiful surrounding landscapes and monuments of historic wonder, but of the ungrateful, disrespectful, bigotted and disregarding attitudes of the locals. I do not recommend this city to anyone, save your money and visit Prague, Vienna or Budapest. At least they smile.

Having travelled all over Europe, I dont blame Bratislavians for being unfriendly to Westerners especially the stags. Most of the "Aoi, Aoi Aoi" aka British stags are rude, uncouth, relieve on streets, noisy and outright disrespectful. If you guys are so pissed off with Bratislavia for being unfriendly, why not stick to bars of London with your flabby womenfolk where you belong....

jimmy wrote on 14.04.2008 at 23:47:46:
Just a bit confused as to why Bratislava has a Stag Packages Operator called Pissup: that is slightly looking for trouble. Stag parties are not nice, most people avoid these cities, pubs, clubs that they go to. It's a very bad idea to have such marketing, Bratislava really should focus on tourism.
Simple conclusion: if you don't want the stags then don't promote Bratislava as a Stag City, if you do want the stags then be prepared for the worst, don't complain about it because this is what happens. Bratislava will soon be known as cheap tack and not for it's beauty and culture like Vienna, Prague, Budapest.
jenny wrote on 14.04.2008 at 23:33:07:
I'm heading to Bratislava in a few weeks, I'm looking forward to it but really not to the whole stag night life. I had noticed a lot that this city is promoted for it's stag weekends almost more than it's cultural elements. If the stags aren't welcome in Bratislava then it shouldn't be promoted as the place to go, focus on it's music, cuture, food. I had booked it before I realised how much stags are invited to go otherwise I would have not. A lot of people don't go to Ibiza, costa del sol etc espesically for this reason and I'm afraid Bratislava is heading the same direction, if vienna which is so near doesn't suffer from this kind of stag weekends then Bratislava needn't either. Definately work on the cultural marketing and forget about the stag marketing.
Hopefully I'll have a good comment when I get back from my trip.
Kelly from Batislava wrote on 08.04.2008 at 10:31:50:
OK, guys, so my turn to write you an opinion how I see it. I´m Kelly, I´m 25, I was born in Bratislava. I´ve travelled a lot and spent a year in London as an au pair. Since august I´ve been working for the local Stag Packages Operator Bratislava Pissup, first as a guide, and last few months as a head guide. I like my job mostly because, as I travelled a lot, I am very open to meeting people from other countries and getting to know other cultures. I also like to show them our lovely, beautiful and funny city :) Actually, all our guides (15 at the moment) are very friendly, professional and have no problem guiding (mostly English) groups and ALL OF THEM were abroad. So why there are people who might not seem friendly? Imagine there used to be 40 years of communisms, when people haven´t seen any foreigners but Czech and Russians. And since 1989 it has changed, but most of the tourists are English groups coming to Bratislava, as our media wrote "considering Bratislava to be a cheap pub with cheap girls". And some unfortunately have really behaved like this and even your "national pride" would be hurt if you saw somebody like that in your beloved city. I do admit, that there are SOME people (waitresses, taxi drivers, bouncers) who still have not realized, that without the tourists in the city, there will be no money, without any money, there will be no progress. Marketing was not here for a long time and people have to learn it. Unfortunately most clever ones go abroad and the "basic" people stay - and you get in touch with them, thinking how unwelcoming Bratislava is. And to the "unfriendly" girls in the clubs: so imagine you are a pretty 22 years old girl in Bratislava and every weekend when you are dancing in the club, some tourist, who has a serious relationship girlfriend at home, wants to have a weekend affair with you (he does not remember your name, but he wants sex straight away). Would not you be fed up with this? Of course do not take me too generally.
So my advices for you guys is: 1. book a holiday with the company (I do not want to seem, that I´m advertising here my company - book with our competitors, if you think they are cheaper) it is the best way how to make sure, you will have fun, you will not get overpaid and you will have somebody to rely on, 2. do not be too loud on the streets (be loud at the Karaoke Bar, Irish Bar...), 3. do not wear costumes in the evening (wear them at the paintball :), 4. watch your drunken mates, 5. leave your mobiles, passports, most of the money at the safe in the hotel, 6. do not take the Slovak girls as prostitutes, they are very conservative and I think this article http://www.seduction.net/world2.htm is quite right :), 7. if you want the stuff (even the bouncers) to be more friendly, give them tips (cash, 100-200Sk, to the hand) - you will see the difference, 8. save your money on taxis by booking the hotel in the down town - there are new hostels - very good idea, 9. MOST IMPORTANT: please, come to Bratislava!!! We, both nations, have to learn to cooperate, so we both need to practice - it is the only solution. Trust me, it is getting better! Bratislava is a great city and it IS worth visit. If you have any questions, contact me on my e-mail. Wishing you a nice trip to Bratislava. Kelly. (P.S. just to put it right, Bratislava Pissup does not know about this article and not everything might be according to the company´s opinion

Hi to locals living in Bratislava! I am coming to visit the weekend of 18-20 April. I met some girls from Bratislava and cannot forget how polite and good-looking they were. So, now I come to see this interesting city for myself, hoping to meet a nice young lady for friendship and (later) hopefully a serious relationship. Does anyone know something I don´t know (I know nothing at the moment) regarding a nice girl you could introduce me to (English-speaking, mid-20´s to early 30´s, living a normal life) alt (maybe worse alt) a dating/marriage agency (not sex agency). Thank u

I am a Canadian living in Bratislava and I find the people to be charming, food is excellent, clubs are great:) I also find it quite the contrary that girls do not talk to guys. I even got hit on by a gorgeous 19 year old and they are quite interested in foriegn men. Yes the Brits do have a bad reputation here but if I was on my Stag weekend I also would be going crazy without the destroying property mind you. Anyway anyone need advice please contact me and I will give you good advice.

Hey Admin,
reading these comments gives a mixed picture of Bratislava. but with it being ex communist eastern block etc, I have to ask the question.
What is the view of black guys/people?
I am travelling this Monday 25th to Bratislava for two nights on a business trip. I will be alone. I would like to go out and see some nightlife one night Mon or tues. is there a friendly club I could go to?
I have read all of the above but nothing covers black people in Bratislava. But there is a lot of puking, rip off, non smiling, aggression! not a good sign.
You have my E-mail, if you could just let me know a couple clubs for R'N'B hip hop etc, nice dcent people I would appreciate it.
Very helpful site by the way.

Guys
I had my stag do there and some of your comments are right, but some are a bit extreme.Clubs:Dopler. Good club, good vibes,bouncers didn't want to kill us. Circus baroq. Now this is the titty twister and if anyones seen 'Dusk till dawn'(The film) they will understand.You
just get the impression that when you are in there, that it could go off with the local 'Steroid head' that are dotted around the club.Apart from that the music is good, but I do know that some lads from dublin got beat up there two weeks after we visited, for nothing I believe, which you wouldn't dispute if you go in there.Food. The slovak pub does a good steak and other food, their is a pizza place facing the cuban bar that does huge pizzas and plays good tuned!! They had a man made beach on the other side of the danube when we visited and a pint was 1 euro (Priceless) If you have any people with you of mixed race, they were feel a bit out of place as the slovaks tend to stare and don't be suprised if they get ignored at the bar as it is normal.The people are friendly but the police and bouncers hate the british and quite frankly I can't blame them as we seen some real cunts giving everyone a bad name whilst there.Do not go to the srtip joint that is a taxi ride away as you will be beat up and robbed.Learn some lingo and you will have no problem, act like a typical brit with the spanish in spain and get ignored.
Hope this helps

Hi, I am a foreigner worker in Bratislava.
First time I got here I had an unpleasent meeting with a guy trying to jump the line at the disco because he said he was a local one. I let him go because I'd never fight for such a stupid thing. After that two other slovak speaking guys called him and told him something I didn't understand about "tolerance", anyway they looked like they were defending my position. The unfriendly "local one" went back to his place. Later on the doorman let me and my other two mates in without any problem and we had quite a pleasent night.
Not everybody is mean here. Just a few ones are, like everywere else in the world.
The people I've met here so far are quite friendly and nice.
Bratislava it's beautiful but is also not so big, so you cannot compare it with London or Berlin where it's very very easy to meet other people and nobody notices if you come from abroad. If you came here on holiday, having good time it's quite simple: don't get loudly drunk on the street, don't hassle the girls, don't fight, and very likely nobody is going to be unfriendly with you.
Many good places do are kind of hidden, so make a good "intelligence" job before coming.
Summer is better because there are more tourists.
P.S. If you don't want to get ripped off by taxi call them by phone. For 5 Km the right price is about 3-5 eur (100-150 skk)
Enjoy your trip to Bratislava!

WOW there goes my excitement!
Its my stag do in a couple of weeks and a few of us are heading to Bratislava, with the intention of having a laugh and to go somewhere different, no puking, no fighting, a few rounds of cheap beers and a bit of a flirt (for the single mates of course).
Everyone who i have spoken to said its a great place to go but by the sounds of it, the chav culture has gone a ruined it, like my old favorite surfing town in the UK, Newquay. I would never go back!
Lets hope the chav culture hasn't completely ruined things for everyone else!
I am one for having a good time, believe me! But please people stop giving us Brits a bad name will ya!

I'M FROM BRATISLAVA, LIVING AND WORKING IN THE UK.I'M QUITE DISGUSTED WITH ALL THOSE COMMENTS ON BRATISLAVA, BUT.. NOT SURPRISED. i'VE BEEN TO MOST OF THE EUROPEAN CAPITALS AND I'VE NEVER SEEN SOMEONE FROM SLOVAKIA (or anyone from other country) BEHAVE LIKE MOST OF THE BRITONS DO IN BRATISLAVA! ( i mean dressing up like batman, jelling, destroying, fighting in the streets, glueing naked Britons on the fountain by his friends..etc..i'm sure you know exactly what i mean) HAD COUPLE OF "PLEASANT" FLIGHTS FROM THE UK TO BRATISLAVA WITH GROUPS OF MEN WHO WERE EXTREMELY DRUNG AND NOISY. wELL, ALRIGHT I SURVIVED.. but if you, Britons think that you can come to Bratislava, do what you want that you can destroying our small city than don't be surprised that people from Bratislava won't be nice to you. We're fed up of your behaviour.
This is just the other side of the coin I'm afraid..

The people of bratislava do not like foreigners so whatever nationality you are do not go. if you do go you will regret it. myself and a friend went for 3 nights midweek. nobody would speak to us. the hotel staff were very unfriendly and made no attempt to help us with any query we had (this was a four star hotel). they also overcharged us even though i had a printout of our online booking with the correct amount. restaurants were plentiful but the food was of very poor quality. taxis, oh my god, the taxis will take you for a ride alright, they will charge you an extortionate amount of money for a short taxi ride. negotiate your price at the start of the journey but even then they will add on an extra 5 or 10 euro just because they can. there are loads of cafe bars, great coffee and at reasonable prices but thats where the good times end. Bars and clubs are hidden away in underground bunkers, you will feel like a foreign spy because locals just do not want to see you in their pub or club. women will look at you but they will not speak to you, we tried, a lot! Nobody smiles in bratislava, i think its a Slovak thing, they just dont know how to. i've been to a lot of European capital cities, i've been in quiet reserved cities but Bratislava is a place that should only be visited by Bratislavians because they dont know how to handle foreign people. If only i had read up on Bratislava before i went i sure as hell would not have gone in the first place. If you have your flight booked then so be it, but when you arrive at the airport get a bus/train to Vienna, what ever you do do not stop in Bratislava. its sad to have to write such a bad report about the city but when a people are as unwelcoming as this city is then they only have themselves to blame. if you dont want to be part of the EU and the new Europe then hold a referendum and get out of the EU club!

Pour les français qui vont partir en slovaquie. Tout d'abord il faut savoir que ce n'est pas la plus belle ville d'europe de l'est, c'est sur, mais au moins on est epargné des touristes et des prix trop élevés. La ville est très calme, les gens se respectent entre eux. Donc si c'est pour arriver par groupe de 15 en saccageant tout comme le font si bien les anglais c sur que vous allez pas forcemment etre bien recus... pour le coup il faut essayer de s'integrer en parlant deux ou trois mots, c'est un plus. Les slovaques sont des gens méfiants, et ce, surrement à cause des gros anglais.
Cette ville est en tout cas très bien, sauf pour le nombre d'anglais qui vienne se la mettre. Il y a plusieurs styles au niveau des discothèques, c'est cool. L'ambiance la plus autentique et la plus sympa est celle de l'unique club, dans la cité étudiante de bratislava.
Le dopler est la boite hype de la bas, c'est un peu l'usine, ya trop d'anglais, mais le son club est pas mal.
Sinon pour une ambiance hardtek, DNB, il faut opter pour le sub club, qui est une boite enorme dans un abris atomique (sous le chateau coté danube).
Pour ce qui est des taxi, la feinte est de dire "il me reste que 200 Skk, est-ce que vous pouvez m'emmener là??", ca marche à tous les coups, c'est raisonnable pour nous (6E50) et il se font quand meme une petite marge dessus. Si vous ne faites pas ca, vous vous ferez taxer 700 Skk facile...
Sur ce, bon voyage!!!

Hi, I am working in Brati since 2 years.
I usually spend only 1 weekend per months here, the rest of the time I am going for party to Krakow, Vienna, Budapest.
If you want to have great fun and be able to approach the beautiful ladies, there are 2 main rules:
1 - The clubs
Best club : Charlies
Best r&b : Dopler
Best VIP : Trafo
Best % Girls : SPARKS
Best Local : Harley
2 - I you want to be just able to talk to some girls. or not paying a huge amount of money for the entrance (e.g. CHARLIES). Don t be more that 2 guys. And show at the last second that you are a foreigner. Groups of 10 guys don t have any chance.
Enjoy anyway, you are in holiday!

Second time I went it was a total disappointment. The city is a total ripoff! Bad quality food in restaurants, people are unfriendly..... seriously, Just go to vienna, same prices, and theres a lot more to it.

I think good clubs here are Trafo, Malecon (its cuba bar),Charlie club and maybe Laverna...

Hi Everyone.
I just returned last night from Bratislava, after spending NY over there.
Having read most of the posts on this forum I wanted to add my own comments.
I have been to Vilnius, Riga, Prague etc in the past.
I have to admit, Bratislava was unwelcoming from the start.
The weather and time of year must have had something to do with it, I am sure that a summer visit would be different.
We were a group of 4 guys staying in an apartment in the Old Town.
We are all well behaved and well dressed, and in our late twenties from the UK.
Clubs and pubs we visited were usually small, and the locals were very standoffish.
We went to 8 different bars, 3 different clubs, and various restuarants.
The Slovak's don't seem to smile at all, didn't welcome us anywhere, and quite frankly can keep their city for themselves.
We made sure that we learnt ''please'' and ''thank you'', and were friendly at all times.
Some guys tried to mug me and my friend on the walk home through Old Town at 4 am, and were lucky we didn't take too much offense.
A taxi driver started shouting when we questioned a 1 km ride, which he wanted to charge 400 SKK for.
Obchodna street had some better club venues, but locals were really nasty in one particular club.
Stay away from Bratislava!
Simon wrote on 18.12.2007 at 13:24:22:
Bratislava is a good place but as an expat here I can understand why the locals are so pissed off with the Brits amd Irish that piss, puke and make noise/mess everywhere they go.
When will the brainless crowd realise that this is NOT Ibiza, Ianapa or a Greek party island.
Bratislava is not geared towards Stag Do's and wild weekends like Prague, Vilnius or Riga. My advise to the fools that come here and make trouble.... unless you want to face getting beatin' up by Bouncers that have had it up to the neck with you or a night in the Police cells then go to Blackpool or Brighton.
Us expats don't like or want you here. You idiots are ruining it for everyone else!!!!
STAY AWAY!!!!

I have just visited Bratislava with three of my mates and had the worst time i have ever had anywhere. I have seen a couple of entries here saying if you show them respect they will do the same, that does not apply in Bratislava, my friend went up to one girl in a club and said hello and she replied "go away and leave me alone you are f*cking english and i hate you just go away" every shop we went into (even to buy cigarrettes)the people would treat you with utter contempt, it seems my lovely fellow english idiots have spoiled somewhere else in the world for the rest of us and now there is another country that hates us all, so well done you guys.We weren't allowed into this UFO bar, so were reccommende to go to a club called doppler, do not under any circumstances go there it is full of people who want to punch you, the only place we went that was kind of decentish was the charlie club, but same again if you open your mouth and they realise you are english you're done for! and no just in case you are wondering i wasnt drunk out of my mind, i would recommend that people go to prague it's fantastic and the people are lovely and friendly, or if you've already booked your flights and everything as soon as you get there get in a cab and go to vienna its only about 60km's away

Details below from holiday. Loved it there been three times now
Flew with Sky Airways from Luton
Stayed at La Trafa hotel 5 mins walk from St Michaels Gate in the old town and round the corner from the palace.
Bars to go to. All around St Michaels Gate. Old style pubs are near by and Irish pub The Dubliner. Medusa and Havana are favorites also go next door to Prma which is downstairs with cool courtyard and next to Medusa. Havana is superb for dancing but get there early around 9 to avoid doorman policies about large groups. sports bar near mc donalds.
Clubs Medusa and havana but they are bars really. La lavina - underground with all the locals superb music playing house, garage and hip# hop, circus barok - which is on a boat playing all sorts of music.
Restaurants. The pubs near st michaels gate do great value food £6 for large pizza for example and 5 beers. More up market La Mezza was around £25 each for two courses and four beers
flight and hotel around £200.
Spending money £150-£200. This will cover food and plenty of drinks are around £1 or less.
Locals are sceptical of the english so don't expect open arms. Prove that you are not hooligans and they love you. Really friendly people.

Just got back from long weekend in Bratislava. I have to say, after reading some of extremely negative reviews I was a bit nervous about Bratislava and spending my weekend there.
First of all let me clear the air to some folks that say how taxis are overpriced and drinks in bars are too expensive.
Please understand that the fact that you are going to spend few days in ex-comunism/socialistic country, doesn't mean that everyone should accept you as a second savior and that everything should be from 1-2Eur max!
I was there on 6th.october with three of my friends and we found Bratislava the most enjoyable place.
Taxi prices may vary from one taxi company to another. Be sure to call Yellow Taxi Express when you want a ride, they are 2 times cheaper then others. The number is +421 2 4444 1111.
We paid around 100SK (around 3Eur) for 5km ride from centre to our Hotel.
We have stayed at little family hotel uptown with 3* and 56Eur was per doubleroom/night, which is fairly affordable.
Prices in restourants are also OK even if you will eat in the town center (10Eur/persone for a meal + beer).
Night life in Bratislava is great, I would definitely recommend Medusa lounge bar for starting the evening (great folks inside, girls even better) and then party on till the morning in LaVerna which is just 5min walk from Medusa.
I.ve heard that other clubs are also ok, but Medusa+LaVerna was the winning combination for us.
Drinks are bit more expensive then you'll pay for it in the restourant, but still OK.
Whiskey = 3Eur
Jeger = 2Eur and so on.
Nobody gave us the wrong look, let alone that we had problems with the locals. Ofcourse that bars and clubs are ran by folks with suspicious backgrounds, but thats the way everywhere. As long as you behave normally - you are OK.
Be sure to visit Hrad castle and have a drink at the UFO which is a restourant/cafe at the top of the bridge. Great experience.
all in all, we had a great time and we will come back to party more!
Regards from Croatia/Dubrovnik.

Just got back from stag weekend in Bratislava. Read some mixed reviews before leaving and felt quite anxcious stepping off the plane. It's fair to say you do get a frosty reception from some people but in general we found the locals ok. The old town is very pleasant with lots of tourists, so you can see why the locals are fed up of British stags. We stayed in the old town in two very nice apartments, few pubs and clubs but this isn't Ibiza so don't expect too much. Enough here to do here for a weekend but that's probably it really. I've spent a bit of time out in Eastern Europe with work and I will say this, people are the same everywhere, if you treat them with respect you get respect, if act like an idiot you will attract trouble.

On the plus side the old town is lovely and the day in Vienna was great.

I spent a week in Brataslava earlier this year. I found the locals to be great but the type of tourist that came to Brat was not so good. There was the usual UK stag guys making an arse of themselves and then there was also so spanish guys doing the same thing. Please stop this behaviour or give these people lessons in how to distinguish a British accent as I sick of being confused for being one.

hey folks,it has been my experience, that when you visit a country not your own, well, then you become an ad hoc ambassador of your nation. and the peoples of your nation. and the mothers of your nation. and the sisters of your nation. and it becomes, then, incumbant upon us, to hold an even higher standard of behavior, and make firm and lasting friendships first, with all the individuals you will deal with, and then, an atitude about us as a group will be cultivated, that will yield positive harvests, that ripple through, and flow down, one peoples, to another. remember, becausethe economic climate at this time, offers certain types of employment, that does not necessarily dictate the kind of person, real person, you're interacting with. remember, that this is the very best, the flower of their young women, just like ours. treat every woman like a lady, and every man as an equal, and you will be able to tap dance across the areas of greatest risk, without a care. long live the Queen, vive la France, and spain and all countries. and God protect Slovakia. oh, and God please, forgive us, and help us remember, that we are only a child with big muscles, and the wisdom of a child, in the community of nations.
ok, church is out, time for hedonism, the kind that does not hurt.

hey guys, i hit this site accidentaly, but got really interested in the brits' views of bratislava and its residents, me being one of them. here's the thing: we like tourists . but like everywhere, we like polite people more than impolite. the brits' reputation here is on decline. no wonder: last weekend, a british guy was arrested as he masturbated naked and totally drunk in a fountain in the heart of the downtown. people remember such things and they become more cautious. so, it's just up to you guys that when you get absolutely wasted if you want to spoil the reputation and the city for the rest. sometimes, i wonder if the brits would or even could go so wild back home. chill out!

True story: currently lying in bed (alone) on my last night in shitislava.this place is so done- ten years of stag do's has made having a good time here impossible. trafo is the best place by far but very difficult to get in as a bunch of guys. The people here all have cash now that they're in the eu and along with our handouts, have made the demand for tourist money almost non existent. There is f.a to see here anyway and its not even that cheap anymore. Much better places to spend a weekend where people are friendlier. Even the strippers were uninterested. Prague is in a completely different league. Avoid brat like the plague. Women are fit but are all with their pikey meatheads and are heavily guarded. Tough gig. Don't even think about wearing something smart for the evening as de rigeur in brat is a hoodie muscle vest and your old man's shorts accompanied by a tasty pair of flip flops with white sports socks. It also helps if you take some steroids and get a commie e-bloc haircut before arriving.

Went there last week on a stag do with 10 lads. Place was fantastic, people friendly, prices very cheap - I did 72 hours drinking and eating and spent £70! Basically you have to exercise a degree of sense, if you want to act like tossers then people will take exception regardless of country. Regarding Charlie's, avoid like the plague, place is VERY intimidating, but there are a 100 and 1 other bars which are great. We didnt have a problem in 3 days of hardcore drinking. We also carried photo ID at all times after reading this site, this is IMPORTANT. Say "prosim" and "dakujem" everytime you buy a pint and you'll have no probs. I'd go back tomorrow if I could. Awesome. Botel Marina is a recommened hotel too, late bar, beautiful staff and great location.

It ended up with us in the back of a police van being taken god knows where to intimidate and scare cash out of us. Eventually we ended up back at the hotel with them giving up.

Night Live is brilliant and nithe clubs r open till 4-5am, drinks r cheap just be carefull they like to rip u off, any time u go to the bar u pay different price so keep an eye on that, as well in Charlies nite club we paid 3 times more than locals, but it still we had great nite!!! restaurants r quite expensive if u looking for real good food with the great view go to UFO tower on the new bridge, not the cheepest in town but u'll enjoy every minute of it. Very nice and not that expensive restauran is Lebovski food was lovley. If u Irish and looking for home away u'll be dissapointed-only Irish Pub in town called Dubliner only what is irish in it is pictures on the walls and Guinness, no life music not even irish CD, but believe or not I think it was the busiest Pub in town during midweek, and one more think if u like coctails go to Havana Pub- Cuban Pub barman knows his job....
Enjoy Bratislava as we did.

But there are really too many stag parties, most of the men in the clubs are the Brits and some pubs and bars refuse English because of their bad reputation in the town. If you wanna enter good bars and clubs dont wear fancy costums(scoobydoo, batman or a transvestite costum!!!). Respect the locals and you will have a good time in Bratislava. One more thing: If you dont want to pay more then the locals for the drinks in the bars or clubs, ask the bar tenders or waitresses for a bill - they cant piss you off:-) think of some more activities then only drinking (shooting, mud wrestling, go-karting, relaxing in a spa place,...).
Have fun!!

Charlie's Club in Bratislava is screwing all tourists with letting them pay 3 times as much as other people. Don't go there if you like your budget.

The last weekend of the month is there in bratislava a big university party, is it true?
in October where it will be?
ADMIN: It's called "beania" and every faculty (sometimes whole university) has its own party. For example, you can check:
http://beania.djj.sk/
which is whole-university party of Comenius University.

Can you party in Bratislava during the week or do you recommend weekend? We were out in Prague on Thursday and it was very empty
ADMIN: weekends are better of course, I recommend Friday's or Saturday's night.

Are there any House Clubs in Bratislava?? I'm a DJ and I want to visit your country and play some music in one of them. Take care.
ADMIN: Most of the clubs are not specialized, so many of them feature night of D&B, House etc. Try Subclub and Duna, maybe also larger Doppler.

Went to Bratislava with 14 others. We walked into Charlies and ordered a drink, there was no one at the door and so we just sat down at the bar, however the door men, 10 hugh bodybuilders locked the doors and wouldn't let us out until we paid them, we then got followed around for the rest of the night. luckily there was enough of us otherwise there was no doubt we would have ended in the river. The place isn't cheap either

Don't piss on resteraunt walls, one of the guys on our do did and got a gun pointed at his head by the mafia dude who ran it. We then had to run away from 3 BMW's -thought we were gonna end up in the Danube! The mafia run the place, as teh guys pointing guns at our heads explained. The police refuse to understand you, and are probably on mafia payroll. The women in the Moulin Rouge are FIT, even if it is overpriced. Casey Club, the joint with the pepsi sign by it is quite good, just dont abuse the guest star (called lobo when we were there) - got into a fight.

Recently returned from a stag-do in Bratislava (28May2006). The place is cluttered with english stag-do's, and they tolerate bad behaviour because they make lots of money from us. From my experience if you like dance music go to LaVerna (opposite mcdonalds) or Charlie's. They play good music. Bit disappointed with the lap dancing places, over-priced and not value for money. Stay away from Moulin Rouge. Crap. If you ask taxi drivers for strip joints, they take you to brothels. taxi drivers overcharge you, but still cheap to us brits. Have a good one.

Hi poeple!
I'm also coming to Bratislava on the 2nd of May 2006, and plan to stay there for a few days. Anyone knows a good house/techno/trance club? Especially something during the week would be brilliant as i get there on a tuesday.
Then I plan to go to Vienna, and somewhere else in the countries nearby, so it would also be really cool if someone could give me good tips to organise a great trip in Central Europe.
Thanks very much
