THE STORY BEHIND THE DOOR

IT BEGAN WITH A WARDROBE.

At No. 5 on Michalská Street, take the stairs inside Urban Bistro. At the top is a wooden wardrobe. That’s the door to Michalská Cocktail Room.

We poured our first cocktail on 5 November 2015. The room took its cue from the speakeasies of American Prohibition, when a bar could be tucked behind an ordinary door. Through the arched windows you can still see Michalská Street, once home to Bratislava’s merchants and craftspeople.

The menu tells two stories of its own. The first chapter revisits the classics that made cocktail history. In the second, twelve house cocktails take their cues from twelve archetypes, from the innocent to the outlaw.
