    Finding this place was difficult. You need to go into the urban cafe, take the stairs up to the toilets on the left, then open the door to what looks like a wardrobe. No signs for it anywhere!! Once we got there, the atmosphere is great. The staff are very attentive and very knowledgeable about their cocktails. Never been to a cocktail place with table service. The cocktails were also amazing, and priced at around €8 per cocktail. We recommend a reservation here as it gets very busy. If you don't have a reservation, you can go earlier (around 7PM) and you can probably get yourself 1 or 2 cocktails before they need the table back. A great experience overall - very much a speakeasy ambience.

    📍Enter the Urban Bisto, go up the stairs and enter through the wooden door on your left. 💶 It's an expensive bar, as expensive as Munich. We paid 65 EUR for 4 cocktails. 🍸 They were absolutely delicious, cannot complain at all about them. 🤵🏻‍♂️ Service and attention is outstanding, the waiters were super nice, offered advice and recommendations, were always paying attention to us.

    The best Pub in Bratislava with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The name Uisce Beatha means "holy water" in the Irish language, so expect the best selection of Irish whiskey in town. They are renowned for their Guinness but somewhat surprisingly also have an excellent selection of French wines available by the glass or bottle. The cheese and ham toasty is a classic and loved by all. Cosy and intimate with vaulted ceilings. This the perfect place to avoid the maddening crowds or the groups of lads on tour.

    Perfect cocktails and a real hidden gem of a bar. Make sure you walk up the stairs of urban cafe and take a left into the wooden wardrobe at the top of the stairs. You will see a hidden door inside. The cocktails are made to a very high and professional standard. The bar ambience is very cool with low lighting and low old skool jazz. The waiter's are very polite and very helpful. Just tell them what alcohol you like and they will recommend the perfect cocktail 🍸 👌 😋

    The one and the only speakeasy bar in Bratislava! This is the first bar I went to in the town since I just arrived BA. I found it on google when I search for “cocktails” and this one popped up. The vibes are absolutely on point. It locates at the 1st flr of Urban Bistro near the toilet. Not so difficult to find. Cocktails are very nice too. Bartenders can make customized drinks for you if you don’t fancy those on the menu. Theyd more than happy to adjust the flavor for you if you try it and don’t like it. I had one whiskey sour and special god father, I like both drinks. The city I came from has a very great quality of cocktails. I’m very excited to be in Michalska Cocktail Room, here reminds me some speakeasy bars in Taipei!!! Definitely a must try if you’re in the town, either locals or tourists. Best cocktails bar in the town!

    First of all, this place is quite hard to find. You need to go upstairs after entering a restaurant / coffee shop downstairs. The atmosphere inside is really cool, you feel like you're inside some bohemian setting and everything looks authentic. The drinks were... Surprisingly alright. Nothing blew me out of my socks and I discovered I need to go back to the known classics to find the tastes I enjoy, but that comes down to a personal preference, and the off-menu selection didn't really do much for me. The bar staff speaks both Slovakian and English... Although towards the end of the night they were communicating in some mixture of Spanish and Italian too, so try your luck! Overall quite a positive experience.

    What a hidden gem. This is on my top 3 least it's best cocktail bars in the world. I recommend. They know their stuff. Prices for a cocktail are 14-16 euro. And they change their menu from time to time

    Great draft guiness.

  • 5/5 Sophie G. 1 year ago on Google
    A great little speakeasy concealed behind a wardrobe door at the top of the stairs. You would only know it’s there, if you know or have read other reviews. Great, little private bar with an old world feel interior. The staff were lovely and gave us a story about each cocktail we ordered. We arrived about 8pm and it wasn’t very busy. By 9pm, there were very few seats left. A great spot for a cocktail.

  • 5/5 Alina N. 6 months ago on Google
    Unexpectedly cool experience in the centre of Bratislava! Their cocktail menu is set by Zodiac signs - cant say the cocktails were outstanding, but definitely worth a try

  • 5/5 Dominik �. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice staff, nice staff. Good and cheap beer. I was a little disturbed by the smell of moisture ... (Original) Fajny lokal miły personel. Dobre i tanie piwo. Trochę przeszkadzał mi zapach wilgoci ...

  • 4/5 Nikoleta K. 7 months ago on Google
    As many have written here, the bar is hidden on the top floor. The space is wonderful, very cosy, a bit dark, there is a nice atmosphere. The service is attentive and happy to advise on the selection of cocktails, which change seasonally. I was here in the spring, they probably had a winter offer. We tasted a lot of cocktails. For me personally, they all seemed to be too strong and heavy, very aromatic, but everyone else in the group was enthusiastic, so it's just a matter of personal taste. The prices are high, as in the absolute centre of the capital, but this place is definitely worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Blake C. 7 months ago on Google
    Great speakeasy close to Michael’s Gate. Their cocktails are amazing, their menu is inventive and the ambience of the bar is true to the prohibition, speakeasy era. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Theresa K. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place! We found it by chance and really liked it a lot. It's an awesome concept with great atmosphere, super nice staff and delicious cocktails! Thank you so much!

  • 5/5 André N. 9 months ago on Google
    Really great and fun concept, a bar hidden in a 'closet' with 20's vibes. The staff is very professional and helpfull with choice of cocktails. The cocktails are good and prepared in a special way. Prices are high but its worth visiting atleast once!

  • 5/5 Anna C. 3 years ago on Google
    Love the secret room theme! Great atmosphere and great drinks. Closest thing to a Narnia experience.

  • 5/5 Svetlana M. 9 months ago on Google
    I found this bar in escape room game and it was the best discovery of Bratislava city. Behind the wooden door, you will find speakasy bar with so much great drinks and even better atmosphere. I love it there. Great music, very calm, and stuff very helpful. They helped me chose the good drinks and they always bring new drinks to the menu, so you can again and again experiment.

  • 5/5 Dominika N. 6 years ago on Google
    My favourite cocktail place in Bratislava. It has a very nice atmosphere and they always play good music. And the cocktails are just great. The bartenders are really nice, if you can't decide what to order, just ask for advice. It gets very busy during the weekends, I prefer coming here on week nights. Highly recommended :)

  • 5/5 Emilia W. 5 years ago on Google
    A hidden bar in the old town of Bratislava. Comfy environment with antique decor almost like you are back to decades ago. Good cocktail menu that add some fun to the classic recipe.

  • 5/5 B. R. M. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely my favorite bar on earth! Great and amazing prohibition style atmosphere with amazing drinks and service. The host explained the drinks to me and the bartenders don't mind putting on a great show!

  • 5/5 Kristian M. 1 year ago on Google
    If you think that nothing can surprise you, try to find this hidden gem in the old town in Bratislava. Great cocktail bar with top waiters and service. We love it!!

  • 5/5 Izabela G. 1 year ago on Google
    Love that place! First… hard to find ;) Second… bery friendly and professional staff. Drinks amazingly tasty. Maybe a bit expensive but still worth it. That was a perfect evening!

  • 5/5 Peter C. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice place with excellent mood and great drinks. Friendly and customer oriented bartenders with interesting knowledge about drinks.

  • 5/5 Richard B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a fantastic place. From the urban bistro cafe, go upstairs and in a wardrobe there is a hidden door leading to this gem of a bar. Wide variety of unique cocktails, spirits and other drinks available. Everything we tried was stunning, easily found a couple of my favourite cocktails. The service was classy and the atmosphere more so, with the unique cave style interior, comfortable seating and the old school blues-rock music. Cocktails were around €16 each with other drinks available for less, which isn't cheap but well worth the price in my opinion I cannot recommend this place enough, it is surely worth a visit. The fact the bar was very busy whilst being hidden away without any advertising surely speaks for itself.

  • 5/5 Aaron G. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved the atmosphere, smooth jazz and crooner music with a room to match. The bartenders were great at suggesting and talking about what went into the signature cocktails. Definitely worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Natalia H. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jakub S. 1 year ago on Google
    Small hidden speakeasy that offers exceptional service and delicious drinks in a cozy atmosphere. Bartenders are knowledgeable and friendly, the cocktails are top-notch, and the vintage decor adds charm.

  • 5/5 Yan G. 11 months ago on Google
    If you're looking for a place with amazing cocktails that are like works of art, then this bar is definitely worth checking out. The drinks are not only delicious, but they're also beautifully crafted with careful attention to detail. Bartender Max is truly talented, and his creations are sure to impress even the most discerning cocktail connoisseur. In addition to the impressive cocktails, the bar has an old-fashioned interior that gives it a classic and sophisticated ambiance. Whether you're looking for a place to relax after work or to impress a date, this bar is the perfect spot.

  • 5/5 Crystal K. 10 months ago on Google
    Hidden through a closet upstairs of another restaurant. This small bar serves up a range of cocktails from classics to their own creations. At the time of my visit the menu had cocktails based around your star sign which is such a fun way to create a drink menu. The drinks are professionally made and well balanced with super service from the wait staff. The couches are comfy, the vibe is relaxed and intimate and reservations are definitely recommended.

  • 5/5 Jasmine H. 1 year ago on Google
    We were in Bratislava for 3 days and came to this bar twice. Great drinks. Great vibe. Reservations are preferred here. We got lucky and got bar space the first night but made a reservation for the second night and yalot of people were turned away because they were fully booked. Loved it here though.

  • 5/5 Robert L. 1 year ago on Google
    Hidden speakeasy cocktail bar above a bistro. Staff were very nice and helpful with choosing drinks and would make sure you know what is in them. Would certainly recommend if you like cocktails. Great vibe with the jazz style music too.

  • 5/5 Niklas E. 1 year ago on Google
    A Great Speakeasy Bar, entrance through the urban Bistro. Barkeepers were amazing, super friendly and very skilled. A definite recommendation. Unfortunately we Did Not take many pictures of our Drinks due to the nice conversation with the Barkeepers (we were sitting at the bar). Drinks: Men without women, Lokal Fizz, Thank you Oskar & their smoked old fashioned (forgot the Name). All superb! Try it out!
