Prague is some of the most popular cities to visit in Europe and because of it the city centre can be crowded. A lot of bars and restaurants are focused on tourists, so I tried to also visit some other places. In a couple of days I cannot find a lot of restaurants, but I will be posting some bars and restaurants here and they will be located per neighborhood.

Old Town/Staré Město

Old Town/Staré Město is the heart of the city with some great sights. In this area there are many bars and restaurants, but they are mostly focusing on tourists, which makes it less interesting. It is very easy to find trdelník, which is not classical Czech, so you can skip it. There is one place I recommend, but I did not try many in this neighborhood.

Lokál U Bílé kuželky

Lokál U Bílé kuželky is one of the several Local chain in Prague. They serve many classical Czech food and they are fast. This one is has a nice atmosphere in a basement with good food. It is just two minutes from the Charles Bridge, so you will not be the only tourist, but I liked it.

Reservation: No reservations needed

Busy: It was busy, but we could sit straight away.

Sights nearby: Charles Bridge, Staroměstské náměstí, Piss Statue, 

Restaurants/Bars nearby: Not one I tried

New Town/Nové Město

In New Town/Nové Město there are many restaurants and most are focused on tourists like the Old Town. However, there are some cool places I have visited. On average there are more good places here than in the Old Town. The neighborhood is huge, so the places are not necessarily close to each other.

U Kroka

U Kroka is a nice Czech restaurant outside the city centre. You can eat classic dishes from this country, which is an underrated cuisine. The staff was very friendly and they helped us moving a bit to get us on a table. The beers are very good. The svičkova and knedlíky were very tasteful. 

Reservation: We just got a table, but we were lucky. I think that a reservation can be smart. 

Busy: It was busy, but in a good way

Restaurants/Bars nearby: None of my favourites

Beerpoint

Beerpoint has a very fun concept. They have fourteen taps with different types of craft beers, where you can make them yourselves! You need to buy a card with credit and then you will pay the amount of beer you draft from the tap. The more you drink, the more credit you will lose. There are some very tasty bar food options as well. 

Reservation: No reservation needed

Busy: It chanced from quiet to busy, but definitely not overcrowded.

Naše maso

Naše maso is food wise my absolute favourite of Prague. The place is a combination of a butchery and a restaurant. It only consists of one small room with a counter and 3 tables. The meats here are absolutely fantastic. We shared the burger, which was probably my best burger in years as they used tartare as meat with good sauces and a Czech steak tartare, which was great. They are fast, so after 20-30 minutes you are finished as the food is ready in a couple of minutes. 

Reservation: No reservation possible I think, but there is limited place. You can also do take away or wait for a bit.

Busy: It is popular, but not overcrowded

Karlín

We only went to Karlín for a special location, but I have not walked a lot here. It looked like a very alternative area, which was very cool. It is not a neighborhood packed with tourists.

Dva Kohouti

Dva Kohouti was a fantastic bar in Karlín. They had several craft beers as it is also a brewery. They make their own beer and you will see their barrels. The beers are good and so is the atmosphere. The alternative vibe, fun staff and good crowd make this a place you want to go. You will be surrounded by locals, so enjoy your evening!

Reservation: No reservation needed 

Busy: It has a fun crowd

Vinohrady

For me, Vinohrady is the best area of the city. The place is almost as gorgeous as other areas of Prague, but there are only a few other tourists. The area is pretty fancy and filled with locals. The density of bars and restaurants is not as high as in other parts, but it is still pretty good.

Beer Garden Riegrovy Sady

Beer Garden Riegrovy Sady is a lovely beer garden in the middle of the Rieger Park. You can get your beer in some bars or trucks and sit down in a relaxed setting. There are some food options as well. There is a podium for live music, but nothing was happening when I was there. There are almost no tourists as well.

Reservation: No reservation needed 

Busy: Not to busy, but it was early and not very warm.

Sights nearby: Rieger park, Vinohrady neighborhood, view of Žižkov Tower

Vinohradský pivovar

Vinohradský pivovar is a lovely place for craft beers. The beers were very tasty. They have many options from their own brewery and others. The industrial style of the interior is fantastic, and gives the true vibe of a craft beer bar. They also serve some good local and foreign bites. The service here was very friendly and fun. This is a magnificent bar to go to!

Reservation: No reservation needed, when I was there, but may be it can be needed.

Busy: A nice crowd was present.

Sights nearby: Not really, however it is on the way from the city to the Fortuna arena of Slavia Prague.

Restaurants/Bars nearby: None of my favourites 

Malá Strana

Malá Strana is a lovely neighborhood on the left bank of the Moldau. It is a gorgeous neighborhood, but it has relatively less restaurants and bars in comparison to other areas of Prague. There are a few ones I found very nice. 

Artic Bakehouse

Artic Bakehouse is a very tasty bakery. They sell fantastic sandwiches, pastries, and coffee. The staff is very friendly. This place offers food to go, but it is great to taste their products. You will smell the bread from outside, and you should try to walk by, but you will probably fail.

Reservation: No reservation needed

Busy: We were helped very quickly

Bar Monk

To be honest, I am not a big fan of cocktails, but this is very cool cocktail bar. The best thing about the bar was the fantastic staff. They were extremely fun, and we had conversations for a long time. The cocktails were very special and tasted great. This is a bar to go as a hidden gem in the crowded part.

Reservation: No reservation needed

Busy: When we were there it was surprisingly quiet.

Anděl

Andel is a neighborhood outside the touristic area. The area is very local and as my hotel was located here, I found some good bars and restaurants here. The place some good different options.

Andělský pivovar

Andělský pivovar is a nice bar in a basement in Anděl. There are some own brewed beers and you can order a tasting of five of those beers. The atmosphere is very good in here and also the snacks with a twist were tasteful. The staff helped with ordering the beers and snacks.

Reservation: No reservation needed

Busy: There was a good crowd

Chléb a hry

Chléb a hry is a large bakery in Prague, which is very popular, but that is understandable. You can both take away or sit here for a bit. The sandwiches were very tasteful and the smell was great. If we would be longer here, we would have gone another time in the morning here. 

Reservation: No reservation needed

Busy: There was a line, so I had to wait a couple of minutes. I used the minutes to think about what to order

Manifesto Market Anděl

Manifesto market Anděl is a great place to go to, as it is a food market (which I very often enjoy). You can get some good beers and lovely foods from all over the world. There is Mexican, Czech, Asian, Italian and way more. It is an alternative style, which makes it even more interesting. 

Reservation: No reservation needed

Busy: Yes, on a good way
