Best of all there is a Kebab store in the middle of all the neon lights around. Kolsch beer which is only served in Cologne is amazingly served here as well. We didn't have the mood to club that night so just hanged loose around bars that were ample there. when I explore around the place, there are actually seperate club management where ticketing system are different for different clubs. It's like a city itself! Like a Studentenstadt of clubs! Wait a minute. It's unfortunate that I didn't bring my camera on that day, as my camera is bigger than the size of my palm.įrom that exact directory I saw at the entrance, I realised how huge is this place. So much for spending 5 minutes to find directions to Kultfabrik in the Net before we left. The moment we exited the S-Bahn station, we could see a large stream of young people heading towards a similar direction. Yeah, my nightlife is mostly restricted to only beers and wine among small group of friends. Throughout exchange, others were only in Berlin, Muenster and Vienna. First was at Nacht Gallerie when Kat's friends visited 2 weeks ago. FYI, this is only my 2nd time in a club in Munich. So after some great dinner last Friday, Mario, Reuben, Ming Feng and I decided to find out whats so special about Ostbahnhof's Kultfabrik. I've been hearing about this club for weeks. They love Tabačka Kultfabrik.Kult Fabrik. So, during your visit to Tabačka, you meet locals, foreigners, artists, families with kids or businessmen. And at the top of that, a part of the building serves as a very stylish and still affordable hostel. In the building, you can find a co-working space and even rent your own business office. During some weekends, the venue is used for farmer markets or mini-festivals. TabačkaTalks are the discussions on topics such as politics, art, culture, ecology, traveling and many more, and they are also held regularly here. There is also a cinema projecting alternative movies and a room for different art performances, for instance, a new generation of a circus. And when the sun goes down, a bistro turns into a bar, and the venue is filled with electronic music played by the best DJs in the country. During the summer, the outside venue, decorated with graffiti wall, is also opened. The atmosphere is pretty laid back, so it makes you feel like you are in a friend’s house, not in a restaurant. You can enjoy your lunch with a special beer, crafted directly in Košice. During the day, you should definitely visit Tabačka bistro, with great vegan and non-vegan seasonal menu and an emphasis on local ingredients. It is a little bit of everything under one roof. Tabačka Kultfabrik Gorkého 2, 040 01 Košice-Staré Mesto, Slovensko What Tabačka Kultfabrik actually is? Tabačka filled the missing cultural space in Košice, and it gained deserved popularity among people of every age, from every part of Slovakia, and even neighbouring countries. A place for meeting people, sharing knowledge and realizing ideas." says the founder of Tabačka Kultfabrik, Peter Radkoff. One could ask, why Košice? " Our intention is to build a public space that is a cultural center for all. But for Košice, with its only 230 000 inhabitants, and very few active artists, it was something brand-new and unique. The concept of turning the abandoned buildings into clubs or galleries became super popular in former East Berlin, an artistic hotspot of Europe, and slowly moved to other post-communist countries. This hadn’t changed until 2009 when Tabačka was re-opened and turned into an independent cultural centre, and despite the reconstruction, Tabačka Kultfabrik still keeps its industrial features. Later it served as a school for a short period of time, but the space of 2 500 square meters ended up abandoned. Later on, the demand for tobacco decreased, since other factories were opened, and after some governmental changes, the factory finally closed its gates.
People of Košice always knew this place as Tabačka because, in the 19th century, it used to be a tobacco factory. Photo © Credits to facebook/tabackafanpage The story of Tabačka Kultfabrik
