Another of Bratislava's names is Bartislava, why? Because there a lot of places to have a beer or chill out in this city, for a very good price.

In this case, instead of writing down a list, I will make a visual one, just stop the picture to pay more attention, names are same as Google Maps, so it will give you the exact direction. More other coming soon as well as cafes!

Sometimes we all get tired of homemade food or eating everyday in the canteen, that's why we have the need to go out for a meal, Bratislava has a wide variety of good restaurants, where you can be full for not so much money.
  • Slovak Pub: It iss the classical stop for every tourist in the city, it has organic traditional Slovak food for very good price, and discounts for students (if you score an A in a exam you can have a small meal for free). An average meal can be less than 5€. Certain days it has a dance spectacle, but it includes food and since it's turistic it cost around 20€. Located in Obchodna street.
  • U Zeleného stromu: This will become your favourite place since every Sunday all the menu is 50% off, meaning pizzas for 3€, soups for 90 cent and huge pancakes for 1.20€ at the same time you listen to live music! Located above the H&M of Obchodna street (but the entrance is from the street behind).
  • U Kubitsu: This place is very original, as soon as you get in you will get the feeling of beign in an alternative place (yes, hipster paradise). The food is pricy, a meal can be 12€ but well worth the money, all ingredients are natural and with superior quality and you can feel it in the taste, (it was one of my best meals in this city). It's located very close to the Blue church, in Grosslingova street, on number 26.
  • Divný Fanko: Is a must stop for all meat lovers, you can enjoy a huge pan of potatoes and several kinds of meat that you can see in the picture for just 3.7€. They also have other kinds of food, but all of them with a great price. It has two floors, each one with a different feeling, if you come with a big group I recommend the upper one. It's located in Jozefska street, a few minutes from Obchodna.
  • Panda: It is a small cozy Chinese restaurant, is nothing special if you are used to them but since you have an ISIC you should know that for around 5€ you can have a menu for students which includes spicy soup, drinks, small salad and a big main dish. It is located at the end of Obchodna street.
  • KGB pub: It is also a great place to have beers, but what will surprise you more from this pub located in a cellar is that it will transport you to 1970 at the eastern side of the Iron Curtain, the tables are positioned in a way that resembles a Soviet train and you can have your meal under the eyes of Stalin or Lenin (who has a Captain Morgan hat). If you are student, you can eat the soviet menu here for 3.4€ with food such as Borsch, potato pankakes and soda.
  • Neolit: This place is the most obvious touristical place you can imagine, you can realize as you walk into this prehistoric cave restaurant, the funny thing is that it has a lot of exotic meat such as zebra, crocodile, ostrich, antilope and frogs, the amount of the exotic food in the plate is not too much, and considering that the exotic dishes are about 25€ maybe you would have prefered to have tried other place. They also have Slovak menu for 4€, with the typical food. 
  • UFO: Is the restaurant you can see from most parts of the city, since it's in the top of the Most SNP, but is the most expensive one in the city, and in this case price doesn't matches quality, you can go up in the elevator for 4€ and see the views from there, if you eat in the restaurant they will refund the entrance.


More will be added soon!

7) Where to buy things

Here I will write a list of shops according to what they sell or offer, so you have a fast guide to check what you are looking for:y
  1. SUPERMARKETS: Lidl, Billa, Tesco. Lidl is the cheapest but is far from the centre, Billa can be found almost anywhere, but is more pricey and finally there are small Tesco Express in the centre, but the main Tesco is inside MyBratislava shopping centre (Kamenie namestie), and it has a huge selection of goods, so If you are looking for more variety you should go to the Tesco in MyBratislava.
  2. SHOPPING CENTRES: Eurovea, AuPark, Polus, MyBratislava, AvionPark... There are many shopping centres scattered around the city, the best in my opinion are Eurova and AuPark, they are easy to reach and are exactly the same as a western shopping centre, as well as very modern and nice, in there you can find almost anything you want.
  3. ELECTRONICS: You should look for Nay Electrodom, they have good prices (for example ear-adapt earphones for 3.4€) and have several shops in the city, there is a big one in AuPark and Polus. There are other smaller electronic shops in the city where you can buy wires or earphones.
  4. PRINT: You should check AnWell, they are always crowded by students and you can buy pens and other class tools. There are located around the city, for example, there is one in Obchodna street and another in Druzba dorm. Other more profesional option is FaxCopy, in AuPark and Mickiewiczova street, in there you can print business cards or posters.
  5. PHONE COMPANIES: There are several phone companies but what most of Erasmus have is O2, their shops are located in AuPark and Eurovea.
  6. HOME GOODS: There are two main options for decoration and small furniture, beign TescoHome in My Bratislava, and IKEA in AvionPark, which a much bigger catalogue and better prices.
  7. COMPUTER REPAIR: If your dorm technic can't repair your laptop, you should go to Shark in AuPark, they have a profesional team and if the problem is minor and have a fast solution, they won't charge you.
  8. PHARMACY: Is “Lekaren” in Slovak, there are many in Bratislava, check Google Maps for your closest one. A central one is Dr. Max in Obchodna. During weekends, the one who in my opinion stays open more time and is more accesible is the one inside MyBratislava, in Kamenie namestie. (If you want to buy preservatives be aware that some pharmacies are catholic, the ones with a christian cross, and won't sell you any kind of stuff like that, and probably they will give you a extrange look).
  9. HOSPITALS: “Nemocnica” in Slovak, there are many in the city, this part will also be useful for the medical students who need to do practice there. Kramare (Limbova 6, by bus 32 or 212), big old socialist hospital with main emergencies working on weekend. Mickiewiczova (in the same name street, by tram 4,9, and close to 5) is a XIX century looking hospital, where many medical practices are made since is in front of the CU Medicine Faculty. Ruzinov (by tram 9, stop with same name) is a late socialist building but is the best one in the city, so it's the most useful for emergencies or to go if you need a doctor, inside looks good enough for western standards. Antolska (By bus 93 and 99), is the most modern and better looking one, but is in the very south corner of the city, it will take you more than 40 minutes to reach it even if you take every bus on time.
  10. EMBASSIES: Most of them are located in the Old Town, check fast on Google where is your country one.
