    You don't have to book in advance during the week. The best part of the place is the secrecy. We wandered 10 minutes around the bar before we decided to enter a certain location and actually find it. Awesome concert. However not as much of a show then most people would expect. They don't go around with their masks all the time, but they did put them on when serving. It's fun to at least try it. Picking cocktails at random.

    I think we came in expecting something a bit different than what we got. We were under the impression you would pick the drinks off of ink splatter images, but it was more like abstract images of colors. Another menu was made of five small bottles of perfume. Personally I feel like some of the drinks didn't really match their images/smells that well, but that's very subjective so idk. The drinks themselves were also, in my opinion, nothing too special. The drinks that I got I found a bit watered down tbh. They weren't bad, but also nothing special. The place was really nice and atmospheric, but the music felt a bit too hype for it. Also the air was very stuffy. I think a fan of two would have been nice. The staff was really nice and lovely and explained the concept and drinks nicely. I think it's an interesting experience and I don't regret going, but we did leave feeling it was a bit too hard going on the gimmick itself.

    The overall concept might sound kitschy, but we found it to be well executed and a really unique experience! It ultimately boils down to 10 elaborate cocktails you probably haven't had before, with the menu being made of ten photos rather than item descriptions. The drinks were a good combination of approachable (my old fashioned was quite sweet and not too boozy) while also being quite unique (will not spoil exactly what was in the old fashioned, but it was a cool and unique flavor combination). They told us they book 2-3 weeks in advance and have pretty limited seating - be warned! We were super lucky: our airbnb was around the corner, and we were the first of 3-4 groups that showed up at the same time without a reservation. We were able to wait a few minutes to take the place of a no-show. They also have 2 tables for groups without reservations, and advised coming in right at 7pm (when they open), or after midnight (when they are less busy). Hope this is helpful! Definitely plan to book a table in advance the next time we're in Prague.

    Reservations recommended! Very tasty cocktails from a menu of blotchy patterns that you feel drawn to. You can find out what each drink is before it arrives, but that takes the fun & surprise out ot the whole experience! This is a chemistry class on steroids... what you think your tasting is not necessarily in the glass! Definitely worth a visit, for sure!

    *Reservation Recommended* We found this place online and failed to make a reservation - so we waited until Sunday night hoping it would be less busy. We added our name to a cancellation list and had to wait almost an hour. We are so glad that we did You enter the speak easy style bar by pressing a red button and walking through a hidden doorway There you choose your drink but analysing inkblots or smelling old perfume jars (see the photos/videos) The whole experience was different and fun

    Amazing experience! The vibe of going into a secret underground bar with the cocktails you order by ink-paintings, so you dont know what you get, it was soo great! The people were super nice, the drinks super good and the prices absolutely reasonable, we will definitely come again! The whole atmosphere plays together so well, thanks for this experience

    To get inside this bar, you need to go into the corridor on the left side and press a button, which is located to your right in an alcove. It’s basically a doorbell, but you can’t hear it, so do not press it twice or hold it for too long: someone will get the door open for you soon enough. Downstairs, you will be offered a set of Rorschach-inspired cards, each signifying a secret cocktail. Pretty much all of them are gimmicky, and I didn’t really liked mine, however the overall experience was peculiar, and the waiter was very energetic and friendly. The interior is extremely dimly lit, which is a potential bummer if you like to take photos. Prices are not listed, so you kinda have to just roll with it, but rest assured, you’ll pay premium.

    Loved our experience at the shrinks office. Had great fun not knowing what drinks we were going to receive through picking them via ink blots and fragrance. The staff are attentive and really make the experience! Good luck finding the place and getting in!!

    I had several friends recommend this place I couldn’t pass up the opportunity while in town. I was blown away with the atmosphere as well as the drinks. The staff were amazing and helpful. The bartender explained the whole theme and how the menu worked. When asked if I wanted more info after picking an ink blot I told them no thanks and to surprise me. Best decision ever because the drink was phenomenal. Awesome people, drinks and venue. Highly recommended.

    Real cool experience. We had a private part behind a book case which was cool. First round of cocktails were amazing. Second round not so much but that was our personal taste. Definitely worth a visit

    I saw the comments before coming, yea it might not be what most people expected, not their fault because like they will explain to you, legally they can't no longer use the images use by psychologist because they can't use it for legal purposes, the masks are only use for the person serving the drinks to keep it all in secrecy until the end when they explain you all by the colours that you choose ( they still use a different method with colours and explain which type of drinks you will get). They drinks are very tasty too and the cups are some imaginative.

    Best cocktail bar I've ever been too! I wanted to post more photos of the menu and drinks, but I didn't want to spoil it since it's an experience you'll never forget! I highly recommend making a reservation, cause if you don't have one you may not get in! The atmosphere is perfection and the cocktails are next level! This place is a must when in Prague! 🥃🍹🍸

    One of the coolest experiences we’ve tried. Absolutely loved it. Great atmosphere, lovely staff, great music, overall a great experience to try in Prague. Atmosphere/ location: Cool location, definitely anonymous as it took us a few minutes to find it :)). A smaller, underground bar - more intimate - not loud so great to enjoy the experience. Staff: The lovely gentleman that explained to us how the cocktail concept worked was super friendly, lovely and took the time to describe every little experience. Drinks: We actually really enjoyed the drinks, and the concept of selecting the drinks. Recommend: Booking way in advance (also pay attention as there are 2 different locations) If you are picky with your drinks/ alcohol then we do NOT recommend it - you have to like/ be open to try pretty much any drink/ flavour as you might not know what you get- but the surprise element is awesome as well as trying to guess what your drink might taste like 🍹💕

    Ich hat an extraordinary experience! It was just awesome! I would totally recommend going there! Since I do not want to spoiler I won’t drop so much information. Book in advance or maybe you have a long waiting time or even you don’t get a space there.

  • 4/5 Wendy B. 3 months ago on Google • 140 reviews New
    The place and the concept is great and very original, however the service could be better. 2 of us were served the wrong drink (which we didn’t liked and we let them know), they offered to correct just one and didn’t do it even when we agreed.

  • 3/5 Saara 7 months ago on Google • 76 reviews
    We had high hopes when arriving this place. Entrance was amazing and The place seemed good. There hardly was anyone with masks on and drinks were average. (You would think that they would make an effort with decorating the drinks to match those on cards, but no. They were nothing special. Strong drinks with oldfashioned taste.) The concept was amazing and thought behind it was rare to find -kind of thing. You need to book in advance.

  • 4/5 Ana H. 5 months ago on Google • 54 reviews
    This bar had a really interesting concept and was a lot of fun. The entrance is (somewhat) secret, and you choose two rounds of drinks based off firstly a set of coloured cards and secondly off perfume scents rather than a traditional menu. Both the drinks that I had were nice and it was fun to try them first and try and guess what they were. Great service, explained everything in a lot of detail and were very attentive. It was a really nice cosy environment too! The only thing I would say is the drinks were expensive in comparison to what you can get elsewhere in Prague - but I think you’re paying partly for the experience. Would recommend booking in advance.

  • 5/5 Maria Paula C. 4 months ago on Google • 40 reviews
    I loved the experience. It's really cool and interesting, and the psychological test really works. In addition to choosing cards based on our preferences, we can also order cocktails based on the characteristics we provide, and they make them for us. It's worth it for anyone visiting Prague. I recommend making a reservation or arriving early when they open because each couple may have to wait about 1 hour and 30 minutes, as it's an experience and the place is small

  • 5/5 Christina 3 months ago on Google • 27 reviews New
    Explored a unique cocktail adventure at Shrink's office! We were presented with abstract paint strokes to pick our drinks – a fascinating psychological twist. Opted for the surprise element and ended up loving the cocktails matched to our choices. The staff's creativity and the whole experience made it a memorable night. Best to have a reservation as this bar might be a quite popular choice in Prague!

  • 5/5 Ismira S. 1 year ago on Google
    We finde that the whole concept was great, the lady on the door was super helpful and hospitality is on great level. The story and way of choosing the drink is so new and innovative, and drinks are definitely the beast that we tried in Prag. It is a must bar to visit. 👌🏼🥃🍸

  • 2/5 Magdalena W. 6 months ago on Google
    Very overrated and overpriced, not worth the hype. The concept is great, performance however, leave much to be desired. Basically you’re playing russian roulette with colorful cards that don’t have anything in common with Rorschach’s ink test. Drinks are very small and in my opinion taste horrible. Pro tip: ask the server for ingridients in the drink so you won’t have unpleasant surprise. The staff pretty much made us to pay the tip at the end so be careful. If you want to visit, book in advance two weeks earlier or you might not get in.

  • 4/5 Neon C. 9 months ago on Google
    BOOK IN ADVANCE - we were insanely lucky they had someone cancel the weekend we went. Staff were friendly enough. The place went as fancy as I expected but was nice. Like a fancy secret office with mood lighting. It's a fun experience. There was a mess up with what cards we picked so we ended up not getting the cards we actually picked but I wouldn't have liked my original pick anyway so guess that's lucky. Small sizes but super strong. Because it takes them ages to make a drink. Probably because complex you only really have time for 1 drink due to limited slots. Worth the trip though!

  • 5/5 Alexander F. 9 months ago on Google
    This was a really unique, fun and exciting experience! We were able to taste interesting combinations that we would not have stumbled upon otherwise. Some were great while others really challenged the palate. Nonetheless, it was enjoyable and the staff was very friendly. The atmosphere was cool and the speakeasy feel really added to the whole experience. We were lucky enough to get a table when it opened without a reservation, but we would really recommend one. Definitely a place we were really happy to check off in our Prague bucket list!

  • 5/5 Kira C. 9 months ago on Google
    What a great and well executed concept. It was a unique experience and I really enjoyed the surprise of the cocktails. The cocktails were also excellent, the service was friendly, informative. The music was good. All in all, a really great experience. Would recommend this to anyone visiting Prague!

  • 5/5 Zeke W. 10 months ago on Google
    This place was so cool. Awesome atmosphere with awesome staff. I do not want to post pictures of drinks so I do not give away anything. But trust the process, don't ask for advice, and let the drink be a surprise is my recommendation. Again, awesome people running the place and cannot recommend going enough

  • 5/5 Kenryk Abraham C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very impressed with the quality of drinks here. Head bartender is very skilled, and the theme is perfectly executed. Classic cocktails here are flawless. Would readily recommend to anyone visiting Prague.

  • 5/5 Douglas B. 4 years ago on Google
    Love the concept. You don’t choose the drink. The drink picks you. You look at a series of Rorschach drawing and whatever resonates with you is your drink. You can also tell them what things you might not love and what you are allergic to. The four of us each got a different drawing they had fun names , nature, energy, danger.. we all loved the drinks and later they came and told us what was in them. All very elaborate and a wonderful experience.

  • 5/5 Alexis C. 4 years ago on Google
    You have to know where to go and what to ask, but this place is really fun. I love having my drink picked by inkblot. The staff is friendly and the bar is cozy and comfortable.

  • 5/5 Jeff C. 2 years ago on Google
    What an amazing experience. Service was great, drinks were fantastic and it got us out of our comfort zone. The way this works is, you pick an inkblot that stands out to you. Based on the one you pick, they make you a drink and they are all very unique.

  • 5/5 Julia M. 2 years ago on Google
    I really do like the concept of choosing your cocktail based on a Rorschach test since you might get something you would have never ordered otherwise. The Cocktails are really good and the staff is amazing and super nice. The atmosphere is cosy and since it's tiny it's not as crowded as other bars in the area. We even got some welcome cocktails. Keep up the good work 👌 (Sorry for the dark pictures though). If you visit for the first time, don't be confused. It's located in the Bulletproof bar. Just ask the staff there and they'll show you the way 😉 Oh and you should definitely book a table if you want to visit Shrink's office since it's just a tiny location.

  • 5/5 Rock 2 years ago on Google
    Really great experience. The staff was so nice and explained everything in detail. Fun gimmick with the cards. Spot on recommendations, low prices and great cocktails. We tried almost all on the menu and each one was unique and tasted great.

  • 4/5 Elina Lipov B. 2 years ago on Google
    This is 1 of 3 bars (Anonymous and Ideas are bulletproof), each one with different concept. This one is a cocktail bar, has a cool vibe with unique concept - no menu, only Rorschach test pictures which represent different drinks. The service is professional, the sitting arrangement simulates a shrink's office. Recommendation - make sure to let the waiter know your alcoholic preferences (and of course any allergies) - otherwise, be sure to come open-minded and experience, because the drinks are truly special.

  • 5/5 Tolga S. 2 years ago on Google
    What an absolute great idea and two absolutly lovely guys running the bar downstairs, when we were there! The drinks are made with love, the service is top notch and the music a great variety of genres. The prices are absolutly fair and you barely have such an experience when you grab a drink. Will definitely come back! Be sure to book a table!

  • 5/5 Samuel W. 4 years ago on Google
    Final night in Prague and this was a great way to end it. The Shrink's office is a hidden bar at the back of another bar, just ask at the front bar and they will direct you. The staff are really friendly and very helpful. The theatre of choosing your image which decides your drink is great and definitely recommend (the staff asked whether there is anything you hate so it doesn't have to be completely random) but we decided first drink would be random and then second I asked to be directed to a fruitier option. The cocktails look photogenic and appetising when they arrive and taste great. Best to call ahead and book as it is quite small.

  • 5/5 Petteri A. 9 months ago on Google
    Quite an intensive experience. Friendly service and imaginative drinks that changes taste as you go on sipping. Book a table, this place was full on Sunday early evening at 7p.m. I understand why, unique concept.

  • 4/5 Halisha D. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a fun experience. The employees explain everything very well. Even the bartender gave us some tips to where to go in Prague.

  • 5/5 Hardeep N. 1 year ago on Google
    Great cocktails and a great show! I was a little bit unsure about the theatrical aspect of the bar, as I thought these gimmicky style bars often miss the quality of the cocktail themselves. However - from finding the bar, going through the ink blot filled pages and trusting the process, I managed to have one of the nicest whiskey based cocktails I’ve ever had. This is a great experience and I highly recommend it if you like cocktails and don’t mind a bit of theatrics - such as a man with a mask on blowtorching your cocktail just before you drink it.

  • 5/5 Jimmy G. 2 years ago on Google
    „Hidden“ bar. Great idea with the Rorschach menu. You won’t know what’s in your cocktails :) Cocktails came with great presentation. We had an awesome time!

  • 4/5 Max N. 1 year ago on Google
    Speakeasy-style bar in the cellar of another place, ring the bell there and progress further downwards. Rorschach inspired drinks menu where you choose your cocktail based on colorful abstract images. Really liked the concept. The drinks were expertly prepared and overall decent. I had expected a bit more in terms of unusual / interesting flavor combinations when presented with the concept of this bar. Still a recommended visit!

  • 5/5 Ana C. 1 year ago on Google
    Unique cocktail bar experience! It has everything it needs, hidden entrance, great atmosphere and concept, AMAZING drinks, good music. It is small and intimate, you need to reserve a table in advance. You select your drink based on a Rorschach-style test (and what the drinks contain is a mistery). The staff is great, they explain everything and are very attentive.

  • 5/5 Bryce R. 4 years ago on Google
    There are two anonymous bars? But if you are looking for a more unique and curated experience m, definitely go here! Make a reservation on their website. You choose cocktails based on ink blots. Cocktails are creative, staff is friendly, presentation A+. This speak easy style experience was solid.

  • 5/5 Dimitrije P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, pleasant staff, and amazing cocktails. All drinks are inspired by the Rorschach Test, and you pick your drink based on your interpretation of colorful blotches. Then, you can either choose to find out the ingredients, or you can try to guess what the cocktails are made of, which we found to be very fun. The cocktails are on the upper range of prices for Prague (255 CZK as of December 2022), but the experience is definitely worth it! I highly recommend making a reservation a day in advance.

  • 4/5 Shaked T. 1 year ago on Google
    I loved the experience a lot! And I got one of the best cocktail I ever had! The only thing that I didn’t like is that they don’t have a food menu.
