Practical information : Take a break Slovakia
Timetable
Cafés and tea rooms are generally open every day from 8 am to 10 pm. Bars open later, from 11am or even around 5pm for some exclusively nocturnal establishments. Most mainstream establishments close their doors around midnight, but many bars and nightclubs stay open until 3am and even until dawn for some. The beginning of the week is the preferred time for students who have short weeks of classes and who often go home on Thursdays to their parents. The nightlife comes to life at the weekend, with Friday being preferred to Saturday.
Budget & Tips
As for the gourmet breaks, you will have no trouble finding cheap pastries or viennoiseries. Espresso coffee is in the same price range as in France, the locals having more of a tea tradition. During the Soviet era coffee was a luxury product and even today shops are still very poorly stocked with expensive coffee of poor quality. On the other hand, this is not the case for its beers, which are of excellent quality and particularly cheap with an average price around €1.50 per pint. Wine is available by the glass or bottle in classic establishments, but rarely of excellent quality. If you're a wine lover, wait until you're in a vinoteka or gourmet restaurant to order wine. It'll be more expensive, but you'll be sure to have something drinkable
Age restrictions
The sale of alcohol and tobacco is prohibited to minors under the age of 18 in Slovakia. Sometimes there are police raids on bars to check papers.
What's very local
It's very local to go to the bar in the evening, fill your belly with beer and even forget to eat dinner!
Kids
Even if it is not the most ideal place for children, as long as they do not drink alcohol, they are accepted.
