Bratislava Stag Weekend Recommendations
Bratislava has become one of the Europe's favourite stag destinations preferred mainly by the UK tourists not only because of the cheap alcohol and nice girls but due to the hospitality and good services as well. Although prices have risen since the first stags landed in Bratislava, conviviality stayed unchanged. However, as every tourist destination even Bratislava offers certain advantages as well as disadvantages especially for stag groups. To avoid misunderstandings and to enjoy your stay in Bratislava follow our stag weekend recommendations.
Arrival
The number of airlines performing in Bratislava has multiplied since the accession to the European Union. The once small and calm Bratislava Airport of M.R. Stefanik has changed to a busy destination for many European airlines. We recommend Sky Europe flights serving from London Stansted and Manchester and RyanAir flights serving from London Stansted. Another airlines fly to the Vienna airport located approx. 60 km away from Bratislava (one hour by shuttle). Visit London-Bratislava flight schedules for flight schedules from and to UK destinations.
Transfers
All hotels in Bratislava are accessible from the Bratislava Airport by taxi or by bus. Please note, that taxis ordered by telephone charge less than taxis parking in front of the airport. The rate for a radio taxi ordered by telephone from the airport to the city centre should not be more than € 15 depending on the taxi company and traffic situation. On the way back the staff at the hotel reception will help you to organise your transfer to the airport on request.

Accommodation
Although Bratislava still offers rather limited accommodation capacity, there are about 150 accommodation facilities available including budget as well as luxury hotels and self-catering apartments. However, due to the limited accommodation capacity we recommend to book accommodation at least one month in advance. The stag-friendly hotels are on offer in all categories (from € 35 per double room to € 220 per double room) including luxurious Park Inn Hotel Danube and Hotel Tatra, budget hotels Hotel Rapid and Hotel Turist, in the city centre located Botel Marina, Hotel Kyjev, downtown located City Hotel Bratislava and Hotel Club.
Pubs and bars in Bratislava
The most visited pubs and bars in Bratislava are located in the pedestrian zone of the Old Town and around the city centre. Please note that not all of the pubs and bars accept stag groups mainly due to the size of the groups. Therefore we recommend to look for a bigger pubs as for instance Dubliner's Irish Pub and El Diablo Bar on Sedlárska Street, Slang Pub on Hviezdoslavovo Squire, Corrida de Toros on Laurinská Street, Slovak Pub on Obchodná Street.
Please keep in mind the cultural differences. Singing and noisy behaviour might be considered rude, therefore do not be surprised by the staff's negative reactions.
In general the pubs and bars offer a wide selection of alcoholic and soft drinks. Try some of the genuine Slovak beers as Zlatý Bažant, Corgoň, Šariš, Topvar or go for one of the Czech as Budvar, Kozel, Pilsner Urquel or Staroprameň. We also recommend to try one of the typical Slovak hard liquors such as Borovička, Slivovica or the Slovak rum called Um. The bars around the city centre offer a wide range of mixed alcoholic drinks. Try Coctail Bar on Panska or Greenwich Pub on Zelená Street with live DJ every night. The prices have risen but drinks are still cheaper as in Western Europe. We recommend to check the price lists (as tourist are money).

Bratislava Clubs and Nightlife
Some of the most popular disco clubs in Bratislava are located in the city centre.
The beautiful Slovak girls will hardly refuse a company for a drink. Looking for strip bars go for Cats on Michalska, Carat Club at Alizé is more expensive but also much classier. For more information on the scene visit the article on Prostitution in Bratislava.
Please note that according to the Slovak law the silent hours are 10 p.m. - 6 a.m.
