👍👍 Simply the best classic cocktail bar in town! The drinks are consistently excellent and the pleasant service (English-friendly) makes for a lovely evening every time. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. People often mention drinks, cocktails, Prague, atmosphere, nice, great,

    Super nice cocktails and very attentive service. The cocktail of the moment is a nice touch and super tasty. The space and atmosphere is great and quite cosy. They don't serve food, however the person working advised that we could order food to the bar, which was cool.

    Great Bar to experience delicious cocktails, the ambiance is fantastic and the barman is really cool. Probably the best bar in Praha in my opinion.

    A distinct odour of farts and the strong waft of tobacco from the line of roll-up smokers sitting just outside the door. Not pleasant. We left quickly without ordering.

    That's the place to go! I have spent year's socializing and getting to know the locals better there! Always coming back there when in Prague! Unique atmosphere of a wine and mixed drinks bar combined with old books store. (Though there are no more books). Cozy and interesting bar in 1920 art-deco style. If you didn't experience the Bar Behind the Curtain, you don't experience Žižkov!

    The waiter (bigger guy) is crazy funny and the drinks are top notch! Cozy atmosphere too. I'll be back for sure.

    Very cozy place. The lady behind the bar that night was super nice and she spoke very good English. We got recommended some ginger beer and we weren't disappointed, though it was on the pricier side. Good place to visit if you happen to be in Zizkov.

    The drinks were great and the atmosphere was really laid back once there were more guests. Also the barkeeper was really cute. An overall great experience!

    Three days into our Prague trip and this is our favourite bar we've visited so far! Service was lovely and kind towards our clumsy, English-speaking tourist-selves, drinks were well-made. A bit pricy but worth it for the drinks & the atmosphere. Thanks BBTC!

    Eine Top Bedienung vom Personal, Cocktails wie man sie lange nicht mehr hatte. So gesehen, mit einer der besten Bars, die man in Prag besuchen kann. Dazu eine Atmosphäre im alten Stil, die man nicht überall findet. Ich kann diese Bar nur jedem/r empfehlen, die nach Prag kommen. Ihr findet sie in Prag/Zizkov. A top service from the staff, cocktails like you haven't had in a long time. As such, with one of the best bars to visit in Prague. Add to that an old-style vibe that you don't find everywhere. I highly recommend this bar to anyone visiting Prague. You can find them in Prague/Zizkov.

    Cosy bar with a nice bartender. The cocktails were in line with their price - enough alcohol and very tasty. (~€5-10) The music was pleasant and in tune with the ambience. Unfortunately, the price for the drinks was typed into the card reader very quickly, which meant I didn't pay a tip.

    Drinks were all fine but one of our friend left early and paid his drinks and still they asked the payment for the already paid drink

    Best cocktails I have had in Prague! And that’s after considerable searching! Wonderful bartender, great environment — very welcoming and friendly, not at all pretentious. Lots of prohibition classics, great sours, and very willing to make you anything you wanted for a reasonable price. Highly recommended!

    Best pub in Prague. Prohibition's Coktails (1920-1933) Boardwalk empire's atmosphere. Good music. Well decorated. Staff are super nice and entertaining. I totally recommend.

    Wow this is not simply a cocktail bar. This is an expirience. The atmosphere is cosy and the decoration is absolutely fitting the 20s vibe. The barkeeper is super welcoming and you can definitely feel that he is super passionate about his job. Their cocktails are out of this world. High quality spirits and ingredients in perfect combination make every drink a journey for your taste buts. I never had cocktails that good. When it comes to the price of the drinks you will be surprised as they are absolutely decent ranging from 155 to around 260 czk. We will go there on our next trip to Prague for sure! 10 out of 5 stars😉
