The Best Bars in Prague's Old Town

If you’re into Instagram, you’ll want to be ready with your camera at Hangar Bar, which is visually very exciting. In the Dušní 9, Prague 1 ‘cocktail quarter’, the theme is ‘aviation from the 1940s to the 1960s’, which translates into two bars with different aesthetics. The Hangar Pilot’s Lounge features Pan Am airlines memorabilia, such as the body of a Clipper aircraft, and you’re served your aviation-themed drinks by waitresses dressed as stewardesses. The Hangar Club meanwhile is dedicated to Hollywood stunt pilots, airplane mechanics, and pilots of the 1940s and ’50s, including World War II pilots.

With hispanic artwork and knick-knacks scattered across the walls, El Mojito Café certainly gives off a latin feel to match its name. On trendy Dlouha Street, natural wood accents warm the space and help create a relaxing environment. The cocktails feature fresh fruit and balanced blends, all artfully assembled. You really should at least start with a mojito — take your pick from 19 different kinds.

Named one of the top four hotel bars in the world at annual spirit awards ceremony Tales of the Cocktail, Black Angel’s Bar is a must-visit for any cocktail-lover in Prague. In the renovated Gothic-style cellar of the Hotel U Prince in Old Town Square, the bar’s atmosphere pulsates with energy amid a 1930s public-house theme. You can enjoy one of history’s forgotten drinks, like the gin-based Corpse Reviver, as you relax on one of the rich, red leather banquettes.
