Coffee shops and tea rooms - Slovakia in 2024

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
