Prague is known for medieval architecture, beer culture, classical music, and… girls’ night out? No, seriously, when walking around Prague, it seems as if bridal parties and female friend groups are everywhere! And this wasn’t just our observation- Prague is globally regarded as a top European destination for bachelorette parties due to its vibrant nightlife, affordable nature, and diverse array of entertainment options. Here’s the perfect itinerary for your Prague girls’ night bar crawl- with stops throughout Old Town, each bar is less than a 15-minute walk to the next. We’ve included must-visit sites that are elegant and world-renowned, as well as others that are more low-key, so there’s sure to be something for everyone in your group! We should know, as we’ve gone to all these places while studying abroad in 2025.
The Alchemist Bar: Starting the night off right, you’ll stop by The Alchemist for an immaculate cocktail experience. After climbing up an old staircase, you’re welcomed into a dark, moody parlor. The room is lit by candles and floor-to-ceiling drapes that enclose the space, making you feel as if you’ve traveled back in time to an elegant dinner party. For drinks, Lochlain got the Gaius White, a dignified mixture of gin, white chocolate syrup, apricot brandy, and black sesame. She said it “blessed her taste buds”; it was smooth, sweet, and unlike anything she’s tried before. So if the incredible drinks and impressive atmosphere aren’t enough to get you to the Alchemist, we don’t know what is. This is an essential spot in Prague that showcases the craft and dedication behind its cocktails.
Black Angel’s Bar: Located in the heart of Prague’s city center, Old Town, Black Angel’s Bar is the next stop on this bar crawl. Right outside, you can stop to take a picture of the famous Astronomical Clock, but beware, that’s the last photo you’ll take until leaving this bar: no photos allowed! Once you walk inside, it becomes clear why: the bar replicates a 1930’s speakeasy, with walls and ceilings made entirely of exposed brick and a resonant sound from a live pianist and saxophonist. Brooklyn tried the Yo Mama, made with rum, cherry, white chocolate, and pineapple flavors, and it was one of the most notable drinks of her time in Prague. The white chocolate was such a unique ingredient, adding a layer of sweet creaminess to the drink, and it came in a tiki cup, which was so fun! The bar is regarded as one of the top 10 hotel bars in the world, and while you might have to wait in line at peak times, it’s definitely not one you should miss on your trip to Prague. Fun fact: this place gets a shoutout in Dan Brown’s newest thriller hit novel, The Secret of Secrets.
AnonymouS Bar: This stop might be the hardest to find; completely unmarked from the outside, it’s the type of place you discover from someone in the know (that’s how we found it, at least). AnonymouS Bar is marked only by a large wooden door in an otherwise unlit and unassuming courtyard. Don’t let this stop you, though, because this place is unique! It features masked bartenders, V for Vendetta playing on a loop in the background, and super-cool antique furniture to lounge on. Although it’s supposed to be a secret, to truly take full advantage of this bar’s offerings, make sure to ask the bartender for a UV light, which reveals a hidden menu when shone on the page. This, plus a variety of seasonal drinks, makes it another must-stop cocktail bar in Prague, thanks to an experience that feels both interactive and constantly evolving.
Hemingway Bar: After the Anonymous Bar, you’ll walk about 10 minutes to the quaint and cozy Hemingway Bar, which is only a block from the Vltava River. This spot is strongly inspired by Ernest Hemingway himself, incorporating many of his favorite spirits, absinthe, rum, and champagne, in its menu. It’s a great spot to chat with your friends, and the street view makes you feel like you stumbled across a hidden gem. The overall experience at Hemingway Bar was great; our server was attentive and offered us several recommendations. Many of their reviews also rave about the top-notch service here. Lochlain had the “Winter is Coming” cocktail, which featured a distinct mix of black currant, lemon, and bitters. We also noticed that Hemingway Bar offered a few yummy-looking mocktail options. So whether you’re looking for a drink – alcoholic or not – or simply a cozy environment that appreciates literary history, the Hemingway Bar is one to try.
Vzorkovna Dog Bar: Finishing strong with one of Prague’s most iconic bars, Dog Bar is located underground within a set of ruins. They’re known for affordable drinks, including Becherovka shots for 90 CZK (~$4). We definitely recommend trying one because it’s a traditional 200-year-old Czech herb-based liquor, but watch out, since this Becherovka is bold, bitter, and unapologetically strong. Although it’s cash-only, it’s definitely worth stopping for cool features like climbing ladders to reach different seating areas and a maze-like feel with so many areas to explore, making it a great last stop on your night out!
So, if you happen to have the opportunity to go on a girls’ trip to Prague, we’re telling you to take it! Beyond its rich history and culture, the city is home to a surprisingly large number of cocktail bars that are not to be missed. You can get your night started as early as 9, but plan to get home around 3, as many of the cocktail bars close by then. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes, as our itinerary includes about 25 minutes of walking in total. If you follow our itinerary, you’re bound to have a fun night that explores the many tastes of Prague’s bar scene.
