A Historic Landmark in the Heart of Bratislava
Funus was originally established as an excursion inn on the outskirts of Horský Park, a popular leisure and walking area for the city's residents at the time. Initially a simple tavern with outdoor seating, it became a favored destination for visitors from downtown Bratislava looking for refreshment and relaxation.
During the interwar period, under the First Czechoslovak Republic, and later, Funus gained a reputation as a popular meeting place for Bratislava’s elite, students, and artists. Even today, it remains a beloved spot for families with children and a favored stop for those enjoying walks through Horský Park.
Funus is not just a restaurant—it is a living piece of Bratislava’s history, recognized and cherished by generations of city residents.
