Who is the festival suitable for?

For visitors who prefer exclusive and cultural spatial experiences, such as a historical museum with a DJ atmosphere.

Why return to the Waterworks Museum?

The Waterworks Museum is located in the premises of the first gas station in Bratislava in the Karlova Ves area, which is a unique educational and recreational space with preserved technical functionality. “We are returning to where we experienced one of the most successful years of the festival in 2019 – the 3rd year of GIN FEST BRATISLAVA.

The Waterworks Museum has a special place for us – it combines an authentic industrial atmosphere, which perfectly suits the needs of the festival. While autumn traditionally belongs to wine, we are creating a unique alternative – GINobranie for all lovers of quality gin distillates,” explains Andrej Nikodem, festival director.

Date: Thursday, September 18, 2025
