» Koník is a cult spot by the coach station. It is very well known by the older generations. It offers great beer and has an amazing service! Well, if you come during the right shift :) Proper venue for proper barflies. «
» In summer they have a small patio outside. Right on one of the Bratislava’s busiest intersections. However there’s a certain magic in drinking beer while inhaling the smell of gas fumes. «
» Koník is a popular meeting point for writers, directors, journalists, with occasional scum-of-the-earth and incidental passers-by thrown in for a good measure. It is well known because of its cuddly staff (Bea and Janka), great Pilsen, slightly worse Budvar and extremely friendly ambience. The large tables at the back are reserved for the local barflies. You will get the privilege only after you become friends with the barmaids. No smoking during the lunch hours.« » Bratislava’s classic public house. During the communist times it might have been the worst and dirtiest pub in the city. After a refurbishment in 1992 it became Bratislava’s first proper pub. Over the years it has acquired a cult status. One hasn’t lived until experienced a proper party at Koník. If you’re lucky enough and the “old crew” arrives, you are in for a “cinematic” treat. Both Fellini and Kusturica would have the time of their lives.«
