On May 31, Manifesto Market in Anděl will open the taps on its latest project: a new, brand-free beer bar devoted entirely to celebrating Czech brewing culture.

Developed by the team behind SOOT Bar and Berlin’s award-winning Himitsu Speakeasy, the concept skips the branding — offering no official name — and instead focuses on top-quality beer, both classic and craft.

The new venue will feature up to 12 beers on tap, including Czech mainstays like Pilsner Urquell, Budvar 33, and Únětická 12° nefiltrovaná, alongside rotating craft selections from breweries like Zichovec, Matuška, Antoš, and long-time Manifesto partners such as Vinohradský pivovar.

“There’s a shift happening,” says Martin Barry, founder and CEO of Manifesto. “Czechs may be drinking less mass-produced beer, but there’s a growing appetite for craft brews. Beer has always been one of our top-sellers — now we’re giving it the attention it deserves.”

The beer list won’t be the only draw. The space will include a curated selection of over 30 bottled and canned beers from across the country, and a bi-monthly rotation of limited-edition craft beers, ensuring there’s always something new to taste.

Daniel Prokeš, formerly of Almanac X Alcron and Andaz Prague, will manage the bar. Now leading the SOOT cocktail and beer program at Manifesto, Prokeš aims to create more than just a bar.

“We want to share stories through beer,” he says. “Whether you’re a casual drinker or a connoisseur, we want to surprise you — to introduce something new, to make beer an experience.”

The food menu, curated by SOOT’s Alexandros Gavrilidis, will focus on “beer food” using ingredients from local suppliers. Guests can also expect monthly tap takeovers, guided tastings, and food pairing events designed to spotlight the country’s growing craft scene.

Architect Sara Gomes designed the space around the theme of “Brewed Elegance,” using warm, beer-inspired materials — amber tiles, walnut wood, copper piping — and a custom-built beer fridge that doubles as a centerpiece.
