What started as a capital-focused event is now going national, as Prague Cocktail Week returns for its third edition and expands to Brno for the first time.

Running from May 6 to May 13, 2026, the newly rebranded Prague & Brno Cocktail Week will connect dozens of bars across the country’s two main food and drink hubs.

The concept remains simple: during one week, participating venues serve special signature cocktails at fixed prices.

In Prague, drinks will cost CZK 175, while in Brno they will be slightly cheaper at CZK 155. Each bar will offer a short, curated menu created specifically for the event.

This year also brings a noticeable shift. For the first time, every participating bar will include at least one non-alcoholic cocktail made with a zero-proof spirit, reflecting the growing demand for alcohol-free options without compromising on quality.

The event offers a chance to discover new bars, try original drinks, and get a snapshot of where the Czech cocktail scene stands today — all within a single week.

Behind the scenes, the festival also acts as a meeting point for bartenders, venues, and brands. Organizers say the goal is to present cocktail culture as a natural part of modern gastronomy, while also encouraging collaboration across the industry.

The timing is no coincidence. The festival opens on May 6, marking the day in 1806 when a U.S. newspaper first asked, “What is a cocktail?” and published its definition shortly after.

It wraps up on May 13, now widely celebrated as World Cocktail Day.
