Like most major cities, there are plenty of pubs, clubs, go-go bars, whorehouses and restaurants to choose from. Some are reasonably priced, while others are incredibly expensive. Some have no atmosphere whatsoever and some bars even have staff who occasionally raise a smile!!
The main street for nightlife is Obchodna street, just 5 minutes walk away from the old town square. Obchodna street has lots of good cafes and bars to choose from that won't break the bank.
For a good chill out , check out Radost on Obchodna Steet. A cellar bar with DJs every night.
AVOID Slovak Pub further up the road. It is big and has no atmosphere.
The vegetarian restaurant (Cajovna) is a Krishna place that will serve you soft poppadums and a mixture of curry and lentils. No alcohol, but all you can eat for 115 sk. (About 2.30
GBP). Plus free water with lemon.
The KGB cellar bar (pictured above) on Ochodna street has a nice nostalgic feel with pictures of Stalin and a great rock jukebox. However, seats are often reserved (although no one is sitting there), so arrive early.

Charlie Nightclub on Spitalska Street is another one to avoid. It costs 50 sk to get in plus 100sk for beer. It's OK if you are here on the piss of a weekend, but not OK if you are living here. The music is also very cheesy.
Sub Club is a pretty amazing subterranean club and often has live music and well-known djs.
Bar 39 by the university is a bit of a student dive, but is a good place to meet young, hammered foreign students.
The Irish Bar is definitely a place to avoid as it is overpriced and has no atmosphere. Like many 'Irish Bars', it is entitled to call itself by this name because it sells Guinness. That's about it though. It's also a good place to see English stagdoers make fools of themselves.
