Bratislava is becoming more and more well know for its interesting nightlife. Traditional pubs, trendy and chic bars, and clubs where the party lasts into the early morning - Slovakia’s capital has it all! Most people head out to clubs before midnight, and many of the clubs don’t charge an entrance fee. Luckily Bratislava’s city centre is pretty small, so many of the best places are close to each other, and you can easily make your way from one location to another through the course of a night. Here is a list of the best places to get you started on your Bratislava nightlife adventure.
1. Socialize at cosy Uisce Beatha
A fantastic authentic pub atmosphere is what you’ll find at Uisce Beatha. It is the ideal place to go, grab a beer and strike up a conversation with the many other English speakers crowded around the bar. As well as beer, if you’re feeling more daring, they serve a wide selection of Irish Whiskey too. A definite must if you enjoy small and intimate pubs.
