Editorial
Prague drinks well after work. The river fills the moment the sun comes out, the beer gardens hold the high ground over the city, and a tank pour of Pilsner is never far. After work here means easy rather than dressed up. We sorted the riverside spots, the gardens and the local guides to land on these eight, all built for the first hour after the office empties.
Start outside. The Naplavka riverfront and Letna garden fill first when the weather turns, cheap beer and a long view over the river.
When the weather turns, the tank pubs and the wine bars take over for an easy first drink indoors.
For a loose evening, take the Naplavka riverfront or the Letna garden while the light holds. For a sharp first beer, Lokal Dlouha pours the tank Pilsner right. Prague keeps it cheap and unbothered, which is exactly what after work should be.
The Altitude. A sharp Asia Pacific eye for skylines, rooftops and rooms where the drink has to stand on its own. Notes the booking window and the dress code so you do not have to.
