What Makes a Great Cocktail Bar in Prague?

Prague's cocktail culture divides into clear camps. The historic old-town bars trade on speakeasy aesthetics and period accuracy. Hemingway Bar and Black Angel's represent this tradition, where technique matters as much as atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the Vinohrady neighbourhood has emerged as Prague's genuine craft cocktail zone. Here, newer bars like Bar Cobra and Štos Bar experiment freely without worrying about tourist expectations. These bars measure success against Prague's best, not against global benchmarks.

We recommend starting in Staré Město for heritage bars, then heading to Vinohrady for the real Prague cocktail scene. The best cocktails happen when bartenders feel they must impress neighbours, not tourists.
