For the cocktail lover and champagne connoissier
L'Fleur
V Kolkovně 920, 110 00 Staré Město, Czechia
Prague is a beer lover’s paradise—pints are cheaper than water, and the local brews are legendary. But let’s be honest, sometimes you want to switch things up. Maybe you’ve had one too many Pilsners, or perhaps you just want a drink that doesn’t come in a giant mug with a foamy head. L’Fleur is where old-school elegance meets modern cocktail magic. This swanky little bar feels like stepping into a Gatsby-era speakeasy, complete with dim lighting, velvet vibes, and bartenders who treat mixology like an art form.
The drinks? Absolute masterpieces. You’re not just getting a cocktail—you’re getting a full-blown experience, often with smoke, fire, or some fancy glassware that makes you feel like royalty. During my visit, I sampled two different cocktails. The first was Flowers|Champagne, which was a blend of gin and Lillet Rouge topped off with Rosé Champagne. It was light and floral while exuding a subtle sexiness.
L’Fleur offers six barrel-aged cocktails, with the Dark Cherry Negroni being one of the most popular. Being a bourbon enthusiast, I couldn’t leave without trying one of their Nutty Fashioned, and I was not disappointed. It took all my self-restraint not to order a second; it was that delicious.
If you’re a champagne lover, L’Fleur is basically heaven in a glass, with an impressive selection that’ll make you want to toast to everything.
So if cocktails are your thing, L’Fleur is where you can pretend you’re a 1920s socialite for the night—without the prohibition drama.

For those embarking on a beer adventure
If you’re a beer lover in Prague, skipping U Kunštátů would be like going to Paris and ignoring the croissants. Sure, you can (and should) enjoy Prague’s famous lagers, but this place takes things up a notch with a lineup of craft beers you won’t find in your average bar. Instead of just downing another Pilsner, you get to sample unique, small-batch brews from across the Czech Republic—some light and crisp, others dark and mysterious, all delicious.
The best part? It’s tucked inside a gorgeous medieval building, so you get to feel like a beer-drinking knight while sampling everything from rich stouts to hoppy IPAs. The courtyard is a dreamy place to kick back, and the staff actually knows their beer, so you won’t get a blank stare if you tend to ask questions (trust me, I asked all the things). If you love beer but also love options, U Kunštátů is where you go to upgrade your Prague drinking game.
Pro-Tip | Don’t sleep on their food menu. I had an incredible baked Camembert that hit the spot!
Even in the land of legendary beer, sometimes you need a good glass of wine.
If you love wine—or need a break from Prague’s endless supply of beer—Lot of Wine is the perfect place to land. It’s a cozy little spot that ditches the snobby wine bar vibes and replaces them with natural wines, chill people, and a zero-pressure atmosphere. The Czech Republic might be famous for its beer, but its wine scene is seriously underrated, and this place lets you explore it one delicious glass at a time. Think funky oranges, crisp whites, and reds that make you want to cancel your plans and stay for another round.
The space is intimate, the pours are generous, and the whole experience feels like you just stumbled into a secret wine club. So, if you’re in Prague and want to swap your beer mug for a wine glass, Lot of Wine is the move—just don’t be surprised if one glass turns into three. I fell in love with this exceptional Cabernet Blanc, which I had never heard of before. Needless to say, I made multiple trips back during my time in Prague and had zero regrets.
When it comes to drinking in Prague, you’re spoiled for choice—and let’s be honest, you didn’t come all this way to stay sober. If you’re a beer lover, U Kunštátů is where you break free from the usual Pilsner and dive into the world of craft Czech brews. Prefer your drinks shaken, stirred, or possibly set on fire? L’Fleur delivers cocktails so fancy they practically deserve a standing ovation. And if you’re in the mood to trade hops for grapes, Lot of Wine has you covered with natural wines and zero pretension. So whatever your drink of choice, Prague has the perfect pour—remember to pace yourself (or at least pretend to).
Until Next Time!
