Overview

If you’re looking for a lively and vibrant atmosphere that transports you straight to the streets of Havana, look no further than La Bodeguita Del Medio, one of Prague’s top bars and a standout destination for those craving a bit of Cuban flair. Located just a few steps from the iconic Charles Bridge, this Cuban-themed bar and restaurant brings the spirit of the Caribbean to the heart of the Czech capital.

La Bodeguita Del Medio is inspired by the legendary bar of the same name in Havana, famously frequented by Ernest Hemingway. From the moment you step inside, you’re embraced by the lively rhythms of Cuban music, the buzz of happy conversation, and the rich aromas of rum and cigars. The décor mirrors the traditional Cuban cantinas with its bright colors, vintage posters, and walls covered in signatures from past patrons—a homage to its Havana roots.

The real magic of La Bodeguita Del Medio is in its drinks and food. The Mojito here is iconic and arguably the best in town, made with fresh mint, lime, and a generous pour of premium Cuban rum. Their cocktail menu extends beyond just Mojitos, offering a variety of tropical drinks like Piña Coladas and Daiquiris, all served with the same Cuban spirit of celebration. Pair these drinks with the authentic Cuban cuisine—succulent dishes like Ropa Vieja or grilled seafood—and you’ve got a recipe for a perfect night out.

For those looking to immerse themselves even deeper into Cuban culture, La Bodeguita Del Medio offers live music nights, featuring Latin bands that keep the crowd dancing well into the night. It’s more than just a bar—it’s a full Cuban experience, from the cocktails to the food to the music.
