Issue 43 / 2012 www.guestlist.net TRAVEL 25 7 ME TO BRATISLAVA! ON A BUDGET DRINKING Destination Vodka Bar A bizarre venue with two bars and a dancefloor, this bar sometimes plays music from TV shows and otherwise has DJs, on Friday and Saturday la- dies get in free until 10.30pm, need I say more? It's easy to find in the pedestrian area, close by other bars and pubs, and has a kebab place nearby. Nu Spirit Bar An enclosed space with a relaxed mood, they play Jazz and Bratislavan Nu Jazz. Found down a little side street near Hviezdoslavovo Square and down some steps, the whole thing is underground but has a nice atmosphere with soft lighting and smooth shapes. Café Studio A kind of sweet place with a funky décor. They showcase live music every day and cheerfully serve good cheap drinks. It's definitely worth a visit, find it at Laurinska. EATING Club 39 At the end of the '39' Bus route, this is a mid-to- high priced restaurant, bar and club – all in one. Disco-style music, atmospheric and a stylish dé- cor, and a younger clientele, it's right in the middle of the main area for students. Average Meal Price: £16 Pizza Mizza Fresh ingredients and lots of different pizzas avail- able, there are a few Pizza Mizzas throughout the city. It's friendly, comfy and not too pricey. Average Meal Price: £63-£95 A Local Pub Heavily meat based, the local food is incredibly hearty, and a big Slovakian lunch can act as the perfect hangover cure. There are lots of stews, casseroles and some crispy pork things that are similar to Austrian Schnitzels. Green vegetables, cream and cheese also feature heavily in recipes. Local food goes perfectly with local beer, and for the best prices walk about five minutes from the centre of the pedestrian area and check menus. SLEEPING Hostel Possonium This hostel is in a prime location, in the centre of Bratislava and very close to the train station. There are themed rooms, a 'Hostel' themed dungeon bar (Quentin Tarantino's torture-filled film was set in Bratislava), a garden area with a bar, and a free drink on arrival. They've got great facilities, table football and TVs. Prices from £13.26 per night Art Hostel Taurus Located near the castle and old town, this is a well-placed hostel and geared towards a nice time and relaxation. They have a common room and games room, as well as a little concert hall where you can perform or spectate, and jamming is encouraged throughout the hostel. There's no bar and alcohol is banned in the hostel, so you'll need to be partying elsewhere. Prices from £11.60 per night Patio Hostel Walking distance from the train station and bus station, and close to the Old Town and the rest of the city centre, this hostel has everything you'd expect (several kitchens, good facilities, common areas and free WiFi) AND it's got a bar, table football and free Shisha J Prices from £12.43 per night Average Meal Price: £27.50 - £36 23 PARTYING Subclub Located underneath the Castle in what was once a nuclear fallout shelter Subclub mainly plays House and Techno but also has Indie and Dubstep nights. Long concrete corridors, low ceilings and a big emphasis on lighting create an edgy party atmosphere; there are good areas to sit down and a large dance floor. Loft In the Old Town, near the main Bus Station, mostly playing House and Techno with some Hip-Hop. It's a cool open space with subtle movements through colour schemes, a place that really suits being full of people. Open till 1am on Wednesday and Thurs- day and 4am on the weekend. Rio Grande Club Boasting a mad range of 150 cocktails and open till 5am Wednesday to Sunday, and till 1am the rest of the week, slightly pricier than some places still doesn't mean extortionate in Bratislava, it's big and posh but affordable and it's right in the middle of the town. Enter from Hviezdoslavovo Square or the Panská.
