Velkokavárna Gulliver is a café-bar-club located in the Poliklinika building on třída Tomáše Bati in Zlín. Its name and concept — combining a café, tea house, and chocolate shop — are inspired by the novel Gulliver's Travels. The venue is divided into four themed spaces: the Art Deco and Carl Zeiss salons, a large lit bar, and a central hall. It hosts a regular cultural programme including concerts, lectures, screenings, theatre, workshops, and private events.
