Best-of list · After Work Guides
The 8 best after work bars in Prague, from the Naplavka riverfront and the Letna Beer Garden to the Lokal Dlouha tank Pilsner and the grand Cafe Louvre.
The short answer
8 ranked rooms follow. How we picked is at the end of this guide.
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.
How we picked
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.
