Refined cocktails, candle-low rooms, a staff that remembers your last visit. Ten anniversary bars in Prague worth the booking.

The anniversary bar is a different category of venue from the proposal bar. Proposals reward theatre. Anniversaries reward consistency — the room that has been there longer than you have been together, the bartender who remembers what your partner ordered the last time. The picks below are the ten venues in Prague our editors trust for the years where you do not want a surprise. You want the bar to be exactly what it was the first time you went.

The Prague anniversary picks, in order

The first six picks below are the editors' default — the rooms we send a friend to first when they ask. Each is followed by a recommendation we have ordered ourselves at least three times. Click any bar name to read the full review, signature drink notes, neighbourhood guide and how to book.

What to know before you go

Anniversaries are the one occasion where being a regular pays. Pick a bar from this list and book the same table for next year as you book for this one — when the floor manager realises you are repeating, the experience changes. The complimentary aperitif appears. The corner gets held. These are the ten in Prague where that loop is most likely to start.
