Bratislava's most established
nightlife
is heavily biased towards high culture, with
opera
and
ballet
at the Slovak National Theatre (SlovenskAŠ nA?rodnAŠ divadlo or SND) and orchestral concerts at the Reduta, as well as the varied programme put on at the modern Dom odborov complex (tram #4 or #6 from KamennAŠ nA?mestie). Tickets for the first two are available from the box office at PalackAŠho 2 (Mon, Tues, Thurs & Fri 1-7pm, Wed 8am-2pm), and for the Dom odborov from a box office inside the building from 3pm. The excellent Arena theatre, Viedenska cesta 10 (
www.milan-sladek.sk
), specializes in
mime
- you can find it easily by crossing the river via the Stary most. Many theatres close down in July and August. The city hosts a couple of large-scale
festivals
, starting with its own spring music festival in April.
The longest-serving nightspot is the
Charlie centrum
, SpitA?lska 4, the entrance is one block east of the
Hotel Kyjev
on RajskA?. Inside there's a multiscreen art-house
cinema
, and a late-night bar/disco in the basement.
Clubs
include the
Cirkus Barok
, a floating bar and nightclub on the Danube with dancing in the basement, while a grungy club at VysokA? 14 called
KrA?ter
attracts a young crowd.
Hysteria
, OdbojA?rov 9, behind the ice hockey stadium (tram #4 or #6 from KamennAŠ nA?mestie), is worth the trek for its Tex-Mex food, pool and regular live music. Other useful information
