The memorials of times, when the bananas were in Bratislava, but also dark Kozel, Pilsen, unpasteuri-
long rows, for the summer vacation to Yugoslavia,
it was necessary to get the so-called. „Foreign ex-
change promise“, foreign goods were only behind
the bons in Tuzex stores and everything was contro-
lled by one unnamed political party, fortunately they
are long behind us. Yet, even then, there were little
„islets of joy“ for frustrated citizens. One of them
was the pub „Old Malt House“ famously nicknamed
Mammoth. This nickname is due to its enormous
size and capacity that had no competition in the
former Czechoslovakia. After all, judge for yourself.
There was a place for 1200 guests on three floors,
with another 400 seats on the summer terrace.
Compared to the past, the current capacity of 250
seats might seem undersized to some, but even to-
day, Mamut Pub is still one of the largest and most
popular beer houses in Bratislava. In the beer menu
there is an exceptional unpasteurized Kozel direct-
ly from the tank, spun over the shortest tubes in
zed and unfiltered MamutBeer beer, or a monthly
special Choice of Brewers. Beer is tapped here as
in the best Czech pubs with the style of snitch or
smoothing. Of course there is a rich offer of qua-
lity spirits of domestic and foreign production.
In addition to excellent beer, they come here for de-
licious grilled ribs, or beef tartar, which is a popular
and sought-after specialty of this company. There is
also a daily lunch menu. The environment, capacity
and large-screen screens allow for comfortable vie-
wing of sports broadcasts even for larger groups, as
well as space for corporate or family celebrations.
With a certain amount of nostalgia, we have to say
that although the atmosphere of the former times is
already irreversible to the past, some of the original
genius loci of the brewery at Mamut has remained to
this day. It is still a place where people meet every day
to eat, talk and entertain at the glass of good beer.
