Prague: Night Food & Drinks Tour with Slivovitz & Alchemy Bar

Summary

Evening strolls, Czech flavors, and smoky cocktails in Prague

You’ll taste warm Czech goulash near Charles Bridge, sip smoky cocktails at Prague’s Museum of Alchemists, and wander Malá Strana as night falls. With each stop — from slivovitz tastings to cozy cafes — you’ll get stories from locals and flavors you probably won’t forget soon. It’s more than just eating; it’s feeling Prague breathe after dark.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I remember is that flicker of golden light on the Vltava as we crossed into Malá Strana — the kind of scene you try to photograph but never quite capture. Our guide, Petra, handed us tiny glasses of slivovitz at the museum (it’s this plum brandy that smells like a memory you can’t place). She told us how her grandfather used to make his own in the countryside. I’m not usually a spirits person, but it warmed my throat and made me laugh for no reason.

We ducked into an old seminary house just steps from Charles Bridge — it looked like something out of a storybook, honestly. The breadrolls were still warm, slathered with garlicky lard spread. I tried to say “česnek” properly and probably butchered it; Petra grinned anyway. The craft lager was cold and foamy, perfect after walking those cobbled lanes. Beef goulash came next in a little restaurant called “In the Bath” (the name made sense when you saw the old stone walls), served with dumplings so soft they almost fell apart on my fork.

We wandered Kampa Island while dusk settled in — there’s this quiet hum from the Devil’s Stream and people sitting along the banks, half-whispering in Czech. The air smelled faintly of river water and fried onions from somewhere nearby. At one point I just stopped talking because Prague at night feels like it should be listened to instead.

The last stop was this alchemy-themed bar near Waldstein Palace — honestly, I thought it would be kitschy but it wasn’t at all. The bartender slid over a glass swirling with smoke (dry ice magic) and winked when I hesitated before sipping. It tasted herbal and sharp, nothing like what I expected. There was laughter from a couple in the corner and for a second I felt like part of some secret club. We finished up at Spoon Cafe — there’s literally a giant spoon on the wall because of some grandmother’s wedding gift story — and by then my feet were tired but my head was full of new things.
