Slovak Pub has, in its short history, become one of the favourite spots for college students. The first and probably the only pub in the world where you can get a free soup for an A on an exam. From the menu you can pick traditional Slovak dishes at reasonable prices. Its individual rooms present eras ranging from the old pagan times up until the revival era of the 19th century.
