Skautský Institut Prague

A riverside scout cafe and bar

"Steps from Charles Bridge, Skautsky Institut is the perfect spot to relax with coffee, koláč, or a beer — plus workshops and events in a riverside oasis."

Yes, you read it right. A scout bar steps away from Charles Bridge.

A great place to chill and watch the pedal boats in the river while having some coffee and koláč or a beer on a sunny afternoon. Skautsky Institut is an oasis in the historical center of Prague.

But this is not a regular coffee place or a bar with good and affordable treats, the Institute also offers a variety of workshops and events (some even for free, check out their program).

There is also another one located in a building right next to the old town square, but I have to say that the river view in this venue gets me!

Ananas Bananas

Best happy hour spot in Žižkov

Prague is not big on happy hour, but "Ananas Bananas" is a true gem. You can't get a cheaper cocktail from 4pm - 8pm - hence its popularity with students!
