    A quirky and quaint bar with a lot of character and atmosphere The owner, once warmed up with a few shots is a great laugh and it’s clear to see he has a lot of regular customers who love him and his bar. Had a great few hours chilling, laughing, drinking and meeting people from all over the world. Worth a visit!

    A tiny bar with a very local vibe. It seems it is popular with people working around which is actually kinda nice - you go out of the tourist places and get a more local experience.

    This is the best bar in Prague. A dive bar which is small, unpretentious and where you want to be for beers and shots. The staff are the best in Europe as they smile and like to have fun. Hidden in the alleys of the Old City, I highly recommend people to come here after dinner for a fun, cosy night full of alcohol.

    Bowla, named after the owner, is a perfect place if you want to visit a local bar, away from touristic spots. Super friendly staff and owner

    Lovely hidden place in the middle of old town. Super kind bartenders and great beer. We were in town for 3 days and went there 3 times!

    Cheap, quiet, and many locals visit. If you want to visit a Czech pub, this is the place to go. Cheap, great drinks, and the bar man was great to converse with.

    The reviews are so polarizing. This place was great. Right near all the tourist zones, but an actual small dive bar with great atmosphere. Don’t come here with a large group of people, but if you want to slow down with some drinks and some fun people I highly recommend. They also had a sports package on the tv that let us watch a playoff game from the states.

    Unfriendly. When we asked for schwarzbier, we were mimicked and the bartender pointed his finger outside. Then bye!

    Great little bar we found whilst looking around Prague, small and friendly and the bar man was chatty and we enjoyed our time here. Give this bar a visit if you go to Prague!

    Popped into Bowla bar while out taking pictures in Prague. The owner was a gent, the atmosphere was really friendly & a great pint too! Made sure I visited again before I left Prague. A real local bar! A+

    We went in to have a beer. There is a dart board on the wall with darts. We tried to play and the board fell off the wall. Looking at it (I'm an engineer), the countersink into the wall was well worn and had definitely been a problem previous. All we had done was throw the dart. The bartender looked at us and said not only did we have to fix it but also we had to buy a new electronic one, when it was still functional. The bartender and his buddies came up to us and threatened us. Being not from here and not wanting to escalate, I put the board back up in the worn hole, paid and exited as soon as possible. Even exiting, we had issues with them. It was a setup to get tourists. Avoid at all costs. Go to two camels across the street, much better atmosphere and super nice waitresses.

    An amazing place with even more amazing bartender will welcome you with a smile and a draught beer. The great atmosphere and friendly people will guarantee you not only fun but also memories that you will be happy to remember for a long time. I recommend it with all ten and if I am in Prague again with a smile I will come to this place again.

    Amazing atmosphere! Especially the bar host that took so much care in serving our amazing drinks! Until he began to act rude when we asked for music. He was watching darts and that was at utmost importance for him. Good drinks, mediocre host. 4/5

  • 5/5 Artur K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cozy place! The music is not loud. People are very friendly. I highly recommend to go there!

  • 1/5 Ben W. 1 year ago on Google
    Not a good spot for tourists. Friend gave owner 500kc for a beer but only got 50kc change. After asking for more change owner got very aggressive and defensive and refused to give the correct change. Quite clearly taking advantage of tourists. DO NOT RECOMMEND

  • 5/5 Gabriel P. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful bar near the old town of Prague. Perfect place to watch a football game on a sunday night. Atmosphere is very friendly and the owner is such a lovely guy ! I highly recommend 😁😁

  • 5/5 Kateřina M. 1 year ago on Google
    The best bar in town. Small but cozy and a super friendly owner! Prices are fair enough and the beer is poured with love and passion!
