his is the story of how a desire for a proper party gave birth to the Bratislava bar scene you now know as Bukowski and Baudelaire. But before the neon lights lit up on SNP Square, there was nearly a decade of wandering, period costumes, and one legend known as Véčko.
It was 2010, and Bratislava felt a little sleepy. We were missing a place where people wouldn’t just “get drunk,” but would become part of a story. That’s how the first Capo di tutti Party was born. Michal Kružlík (the business brain), Milan Čupka (dramaturge and history lover), and Braňo Bezručka (visual magician) decided that from time to time, they would transport the city back to the era of Prohibition, swing, and elegance.
It didn’t take long, and in 2012 Martin Kružlík joined the crew, completing the circle of the family clan. Together, we began carving a path that wasn’t about business plans, but about emotion.
