And if you like to go out clubbing, do check out the Harley Davidson club. It's not what you come to expect from hearing the HD name but seems to be one of the better clubs in Bratislava.
About six of us (me and the guys/girls I met at the hostel) went there one night and it was on the Valentine weekend last year. I remember at one point in the night, they cleared out the ring they have in the middle of the club and this really hot Slovak girl (stripper?) danced and then stripped completely nude in front of everyone. It was quite interesting
As for the city, it was nice to stroll down the small roads and admire the architectures. You can visit the castle (you can't miss it as you can see it from anywhere in the city) or take the local bus to the castle outside of the city.
The people there are really nice and friendly. I remember one night, after my late arrival into BTS, I took the local bus from the airport to the train station. From there, I transferred to another local bus to the presidential palace area. The thing is, I don't know where my hostel located. All I know was it's near the palace. It was raining at the time and I had two luggage and a backpack with me. I walked around for about 20 mts, got all wet until I found this woman who was walking her dog. I asked her help to find me the hostel and she grabbed one of my luggage, walked me all the way to the doorstep of my hostel and left. You can't find something like that in the States without getting robbed
Also, I remember when taking the local bus to the castle outside of the city. I asked the bus driver what time the next bus leaves from the castle. He said the bus I was in would be the last bus. He told me the castle is closed anyway (I got there too late) but if I want to take some pictures, he will wait for me. Once I got there, I thought he would just leave me there but he didn't. Instead, when I returned to the bus and showed him the photos I took, he noticed that I didn't go to the lake behind the castle where you can see some bullet-riddled statues. He drove the bus there, told me he would wait couple more mts so I can go take some more pictures. Again, this is almost unheard of in the States
Not many people there speak English and those who do speaks very minimal. Or at least in my experience.
I didn't eat any Slovak food. Believe it or not I ate at this Chinese restaurant downtown and liked it so much that I went back the next day lol
I was there for 2 days and I felt it was enough.
Bratislava definitely a must see city in Europe and is one of my favorite cities.

Here's some pictures I took in Bratislava:
