Bratislava's Best Bars

Some things never go out of style – and sometimes you just need a good old-fashioned, timeless cocktail bar.

If you are craving a classic cocktail done right, pay a visit to the Antique American Bar. This elegant yet comfortable bar, which boasts impeccable service, is your go-to in Bratislava for a great night out. The atmospheric Antique American Bar truly has it all – a fully stocked back bar, mixologists in crisp white jackets, twinkling chandeliers, etc. It seems as though the bar has been on the nightlife scene in Bratislava for decades; however, it is a relative newcomer. It is important to note that Erik Lorincz, formerly of the American Bar at The Savoy Hotel in London, is one of the team members behind the Antique American Bar. Seeing as the American Bar is the longest surviving cocktail bar in London and one of the most renowned in the world, you can bet the cocktails at this Bratislava Bar are, simply put, perfection. As an extra bonus, the bar features outdoor seating with heaters provided as well to keep you warm during the colder months. The Antique American Bar is a true gem – it is an intimate space, so be prepared to wait for a table, or better yet, reserve ahead of time.
