Pivovarský Hostinec Richtár Jakub

Great service and a very good selection of beer on tap. Worth a visit for sure.

I know this pub almost from beginning. It is the first real multi tap craft beer pub in Bratislava. In total 13 taps, 1 or 2 house beers, other mainly Slovak and Czech craft breweries. Their own lager Jakub 12° is served in 0,3l and 0,5l, other beers only 0,4l. No smaller volumes. Service is abrupt, but attentive. You need to get used to them. Beer is usually served in good condition, stored at appropriate temperature. One or two fridge with few bottles available to take home. Food selection appropriate to a pub. In summer months they do have a nice courtyard to sit and enjoy your beer. Overall: At the time, it was a place with an interesting beer selection. Now it is rather under average in terms of number of taps as well as beer styles. Interior is simple and would need some refurbishment. Better places to taste beer are available in Bratislava but if you want to check a couple of them, this one is worth the visit.

Probably my favourite place in Bratislava. Very chill beer garden in the courtyard that didn't have so strict opening times as others reported. Their own beer is great and obviously nothing can go wrong if you have Matuska Apollo Galaxy on tap :D. Also not crowded at all on a sunny saturday evening in June. Only minus is the limited selection of vegetarian food (only bread with a cheese platter). Highly recommended.

Nice place with good choice

Many of good beers.

A basement bar, long and narrow and very crowded, mainly with diners when we were there. We had to perch on stools just by the entrance and opposite the open area from which the drinks are poured - not very comfortable but we were made welcome. There’s also a courtyard outside and lots of tables were free there but unfortunately it had been raining and everything was wet. The beer selection was OK and the atmosphere would have been nice if it hadn’t been so busy and so foody but I struggle to see why it was the top rated place in Bratislava at the time of our visit. Have their friends been giving it rave reviews I wonder? (Visited 11 July 2018).

I just don’t get the ratings for this place. Located just outside the centre and easy walking distance, this place had 3 house taps plus some guest taps. Only one size pours (0.4L for most), no flights, but the bartender was happy to give a sample. The place is a tired, old bar, seemingly frequented by old timers. Prices are cheap. But the lack of smaller pours makes this a very poor ticking place. The house beers were pretty forgettable, as was the place in general.
