The Half Blind Pig

Bratislava, Slovakia

The Half Blind Pig sits on Baštová, a short walk from Michael's Gate in Bratislava's old town, and calls itself a speakeasy. The room is built around the American Prohibition years, and the bar's own telling reaches back to 1930s Boston and the vote that pushed drinking underground. Inside, the lighting stays low, the interior is vintage, rock and roll plays, and the team builds tailor made cocktails to a guest's taste alongside a printed list. Doors open in the evening from Tuesday through Saturday, later on Friday and Saturday, and the bar asks guests to book ahead by phone.
