This Bar in Prague Made World’s 50 Best Discovery

A bar in Prague has made it onto the prestigious 50 Best Discovery list, which highlights the world’s most exciting establishments.

Alma, a unique venue known for its focus on seasonal and local ingredients, is one of only six Czech spots to have ever earned such recognition.

Alma’s appeal goes beyond its creative cocktails; the bar incorporates local herbs like Lamium (dead-nettles) and wild ingredients such as pickled pine cones, setting itself apart with unconventional flavors.

The bar is part of a wider gastronomic complex that operates from early morning to late night. It starts as a café, transitions into a restaurant for lunch and dinner, and in the evening, guests can unwind in the wine bar or basement nightclub.

Located in a renovated space that once housed a cinema on V Jirchářích Street near Prague’s National Theatre, Alma has become a sought-after destination for both locals and visitors.

The establishment’s commitment to sustainable sourcing and ingredient-focused menus has earned it praise from experts and visitors alike.

According to 50 Best Discovery, the cocktails at Alma “feature a wide range of unusual flavors” that reflect the bar’s respect for natural ingredients and seasonality.

The Alma complex was created by Petr Němec and Vojta Václavík, building on their successful collaboration at the Kro Kitchen. Their work emphasizes collaboration with like-minded producers, from farmers to winemakers and coffee roasters, ensuring that Alma’s offerings always reflect the freshest and most authentic flavors.

Historically, five other Czech bars and two restaurants have appeared on the 50 Best list. In addition to Alma, Prague is represented by Black Angel’s, Hemingway, and L’Fleur, with La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise representing the restaurant scene.

The Super Panda Circus in Moravia is another notable Czech spot to have made the list.
