    The right place to have a drink with style and class. Be prepared for prices above the average, but quality of liquor and service are excellent. Tip: not sure what to order from the menu? Just tell the waiter what kind of taste you are aiming for, and they will recommend or mix the drink according your taste. Many drinks are not even in the menu, so don't be afraid to ask for more. Cheers!

    Probably the most hyped cocktail bar in Bratislava right now. Great prices but not super consistent. Some cocktail are great, another just meh. Still probably a place to go if you're around.

    Thrown out at 23:50 despite apparently being open till 02:00. No draught beer so got served bottled Pilsner Uruquell (aka bottled piss you get for 80 cents at the supermarket) at 5€ a bottle (!). Absolute tourist trap, unless overspending for mediocre booze and a server in a fancy suit (that needed a thorough wash if we're being honest) is your thing, this place is best avoided.

  • 5/5 Todd B. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent cocktails served by professional staff in smart jackets. Their specialty house cocktails are $9.50€. Great bar inside and out. We had the Coffee Negroni, a Paper plane, and two others. All delicious.

  • 5/5 Adam B. 1 year ago on Google
    Recently rated 91 of the top 100 bars world wide! Step back in time to this 20s "Antique" bar. White jacketed mixologists make art as they use old time recipes with top quality spirits. Can't miss stop when in Bratislava, Slovakia.

  • 5/5 Konstantinos K. 2 years ago on Google
    Good cocktails, good atmosphere, great service. One of the best cocktail bars

  • 5/5 Libuška N. 2 years ago on Google
    This delightful little bar became our regular drop-in for pre-dinner drinks, and post dinner drinks. Great mixologist who remembered our order from the first. Great chat with some local people who were also friendly. Loved it!

  • 5/5 Polina U. 1 year ago on Google
    First of all, the entourage of the bar is very intimate but fabulous at the same time. The menus are very detailed, with the history of each drink - probably the best ones I’ve seen. The cocktails themselves are outstanding and properly served by very professional bartenders.

  • 5/5 G P. 5 years ago on Google
    Great cocktails! Great service! Loved the music too. If I had one criticism, the nibbles they served with the drinks tasted stale.

  • 4/5 Eva B. 1 year ago on Google
    Attentive service, obviously very professional and a well stocked bar. Our drinks were not as balanced or as much to our taste as usually in a cocktail place, but maybe we chose the wrong things for ourselves. Fast service and beautiful interior but the tables really are crammed quite close together and if you sit near the bathrooms, you will have a constant stream of people squeezing past you.

  • 5/5 Ghinwa M. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful drinks, great customer service, really friendly staff who knew a lot about the cocktails and how to adapt to what we were in the mood for. Place is small but cozy, music is very nice. Highly recommended :)

    (Translated by Google) A bar, so to my taste !! Great, wonderful ambience, very nice and attentive waiters, good wine and delicious cocktails (even without alcohol!) The music fits perfectly! If I lived in Bratislava, I would be a regular there! (Original) Eine Bar, so ganz nach meinem Geschmack!! Tolles, wunderbares Ambiente, sehr liebe und aufmerksame Kellner, guter Wein und herrlich schmeckende Cocktails(auch ohne Alkohol!)Die Musik passt perfekt!

  • 4/5 Peter M. 4 years ago on Google
    We enjoyed this place and drinks, just one of barmans wasn't the right one for his role.

  • 4/5 Mary C. 1 year ago on Google
    This bar is so cute and cosy with a fantastic selection of drinks and friendly staff. It's a little bit pricey but nice for a special occasion. The cocktails were lovely, some unusual ones. Note: you have to reserve a table in advance.

  • 5/5 Diego R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great drinks and even better service. Loved the waiter and bartenders!

  • 5/5 Kolja D. 1 year ago on Google
    Excelent Drinks. Not so expensive, round about 10-13Eur. The Barkeeper know his Job. Very friendly but also small. Primetime between 19-21O Clock

  • 5/5 Kimberley W. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice place. Visited based on other reviews. The service and drinks were really nice. Feel like they could've had better music, it was a mash of eras and for a speakeasy, old music would've really added to the atmosphere. They had bar snacks that were delicious and kept getting refilled - a nice bonus! The cocktails were great, some really nice ones and the reminagined classics is a great concept. Don't be put off by the 'wait here to be seated' sign outside, they come and bring you inside super quick. It's mainly to stop the door being open as its a small place. Would definitely recommend a visit.

  • 5/5 Richárd 1 year ago on Google
    Bar's concept is absolutely implemented! You get what you expect: perfect classic cocktails served by knowledgeable, professional bartenders. It's a must for cocktail lovers in Bratislava! Special thanks to Gabo!

    Fantastic service and good atmosphere. One of the best Cosmopolitans I've ever had. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Bratislava. Good value for money too

  • 4/5 Sireethorn T. 10 months ago on Google
    The place is not so big so it gives a sense of exclusiveness. I ordered Fish House Punch while my husband ordered Oban whiskey. My drink tasted kind of diluted so I ordered another drink, Delicious Sour, which turned out quite nice.

  • 5/5 Isabel Madelief o. 9 months ago on Google
    Cocktails that have this unique hint. I had the "not more than 20", which was I'm the category of drinks that remind you of something familiar. And indeed, it matched everything of the famous negroni, yet the touch of peach made it refreshing and renewing with every sip. Also the "new York sour" was a joy to drink. I can reccomend this to every cocktail lover.

  • 5/5 Michael G. 9 months ago on Google
    Very lovely place with amazing style, great cocktail menu and very courteous service. Soooo stylish!

  • 3/5 danielciki 9 months ago on Google
    In fact a really nice bar. Adam is a great bartender and knows his job extremely well. There is unfortunately one lady at the bar who is too rude and over self confident to an extent she insults the customers. She’s the only negative about the place and she managed to ruin a really nice evening for me and my friend

  • 5/5 Blake C. 7 months ago on Google
    Great cocktail bar in the center of old town. They have a great selection of drinks and their menu is well done. We sat outside, which was beautiful and savoured the drinks and the moment. I highly recommend and will be going back soon!

  • 5/5 Lukas L. 5 months ago on Google
    Best cocktail bar in Bratislava. Part of 100 best bars in the world. Excellent service and cocktails for reasonable prices. They prepare for you drink even when it is not on menu, like my wife like Bellini.

  • 5/5 Arielle 7 months ago on Google
    We came here twice on our trip in Bratislava. The cocktails were well made, and I highly recommend the Fish Punch. The patio is perfectly situated in the Old Town. The service was friendly, attentive, and quick. We will be visiting again sometime soon!

    (Translated by Google) That's what a cocktail bar must be: classic, beautiful and unobtrusive with professional staff and good advice. Cocktails and their history belong to the equipment as well as worth seeing black and white photographs. My favorite bar for cocktails in Bratislava. (Original) So muss eine Cocktail Bar sein: klassisch, schön und unaufdringlich mit professionellen Mitarbeitern und guter Beratung.

  • 5/5 Marko M. 3 years ago on Google
    Let me start off by congratulating AAB for the best bloody mary I've ever had (and I've consumed them in many bars across all of central europe)! Classic! All the other cocktails we had were also heavily praised and even though we were bar hopping, we stayed for a 2nd round with zero regrets. Good job!

  • 1/5 Inesa 3 years ago on Google
    Well I got not really good experience here 🥺 well it wasn't what I expected when I read the reviews. First of all everyone is so close to each other I felt like I'm not with my husband but with other "man's" around. Then we order a drinks and we didn't got thous " free " snacks, everyone around had it, everyone !!!!!! Why we are so special?? Because we are not local and we speak English???? Reviews dosin't make a sense at all. Not recommended at all.

  • 5/5 Matej M. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice and cozy, the drinks where very good, as I was expecting. I was not disaapointed at all :). The lady helped us with the selection of the right drink. We spent there two hours a s I had three gin drinks. I want to be a bartender now :)

  • 5/5 Natálie N. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jan N. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome place! By far the best American style bar in town. Greeted on arrival by very welcoming staff. If you want to enjoy to sit outside to soak up atmosphere of old town or go inside to enjoy cool decor, either way you will have a great time. Can’t recommend it more. Must stop for a drink

  • 4/5 Dominika N. 6 years ago on Google
    This is a great bar. Drinks are amazing, they play good music and the service is very good. Very pretty interior. They have a beautifully designed menu with vintage photographs and info about each cocktail. They have a nice selection of classic cocktails but are very happy to mix something according to your wishes.

    What a gem in Bratislava! Always come to this classy bar on my trips to this beautiful city. The bar is stylish and the staff are warm and welcoming. I have many great memories in this bar. Great tunes (ask and they will play), and great selection of drinks and cocktails. Special thanks to Miriam, Tomas, Matthew and Lucas.

    One of the best 🍸 bars in the city. If you feel like getting a good cocktail, not only classical but also custom-made based on your preferences, you won't make a mistake if you pick this place. However, it is quite small so it is unlikely that a bigger group will find enough free spots just by chance.

  • 5/5 Maciej D. 4 years ago on Google
