Rotor Bar

Awesome bar! I recommend ;)

Rotor je místo, kde se dá skvěle posedět odpoledne s knížkou a šálkem dobré kávy. Ale taky vyrazit večer na skvělý drink, který si buď vyberete z pestré nabídky, nebo si jej necháte umíchat "na míru". Z nealka jsou v ní zajímavé příchutě limonád a také něco malého k zakousnutí. Obsluha je velmi milá, interiér příjemný, ceny jsou adekvátní k servisu, kterého se Vám dostane, takže kousek nad průměrem. Rozhodně jeden z Brněnských podniků, který stojí za návštěvu. :)

Rotor is a small bar among many competitors who dwell nearby. But as soon as you trod in to this dark hardwood clad subterranean cafe and snug in to a nook of your liking, you shall be welcomed by friendly staff and a rich selection of liquors.

Hold on, did I say cafe? Well yes, a few years back, Rotor was selected as Brno's finest cafe during Brno's coffee week event (cz: tyden kavy) though I wouldn't quite dare call it a cafe or one of the best cafes either. Of course, you can order coffee too, but their bean of choice is sadly the relatively uninspiring Varesina - a typical Italian dark as night commodity coffee roast. That said, I've noticed they occasionally offer roasts from small artisan roasters so if you're after a cup of delightful espresso and they happen to have the latter, an espresso would be a good choice. Otherwise, probably stick to a cappuccino or similar dairy drink.

I also must admit I've never had anything to eat here even though they do offer breakfast and snacks. Just never occurred to me. The reason I come here ever so often and with good reason, is the liquor and knowledgable barman. If you happen to visit when he is around, you're in luck - that gentleman knows his drinks and is happy to share and guide you. I tend to stick to my whisky which I enjoy even more if that table right next to the entrance is free - a perfect spot to savour my dram.

Recently I've also tried how their Old Fashioned fairs against other bourbon beauties served elsewhere and I wasn't disappointed - divine!

So there you have it. I am rating Rotor Bar primarily as a bar, secondarily as a bar where you can still light up while enjoying your drink, tertiary as an establishment where they play a broad yet great set of music and last but not least: it's got tonnes of helicopter trinkets and a heli blade hanging on the wall - hence the name.

Lovely place and comes highly recommended for a quieter night out on the liquor especially if you smoke or don't mind that you will be smoked ;-)

Zvenku nenápadné, uvnitř útulné a hezké místo, kde jsem doposud byla pouze jednou, avšak chystám se sem určitě znova. Co si pamatuju, za víno jsme zaplatili docela hodně - 2 dcl za cca 120 Kč. Navíc jsme o cenách nebyli číšníkem předem informováni, což je trochu mínus, pokud nejste připraveni nechat v podniku celý balík. Uvidíme, jaké to bude příště, ve svém hodnocení si nechávám rezervu 1 a půl * na vylepšení. ;-)
