Discover Why Alma Bar is Making Waves Among the World’s 50 Best!

A bar located in Prague has proudly secured a spot on the prestigious 50 Best Discovery list, which celebrates the most exhilarating establishments around the globe.

Alma, a distinctive venue celebrated for its commitment to using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, stands out as one of only six places from the Czech Republic to achieve this notable recognition.

Alma isn’t just known for its innovative cocktails; the bar also incorporates native herbs like Lamium (commonly known as dead-nettles) and other unique elements such as pickled pine cones, which help create exceptional and unconventional flavor profiles.

This bar is part of a larger gastronomic establishment that operates from the early morning hours to late at night. It begins as a café in the morning, transitions into a restaurant to serve lunch and dinner, and later in the evening, guests can relax in the wine bar or enjoy the basement nightclub atmosphere.

Situated in a beautifully renovated building that previously served as a cinema on V Jirchářích Street, in close proximity to Prague’s National Theatre, Alma has quickly become a popular destination among both locals and tourists.

The establishment’s dedication to sustainable sourcing and ingredient-focused menus has garnered it admiration from both food critics and patrons alike.

As noted by 50 Best Discovery, the cocktails served at Alma “showcase a diverse array of unexpected flavors” that demonstrate the bar’s respect for natural ingredients and the changing seasons.

The Alma complex was founded by Petr Němec and Vojta Václavík, who built upon their successful partnership at the Kro Kitchen. Their collaboration emphasizes working closely with like-minded producers, including farmers, winemakers, and coffee roasters, thus ensuring that Alma’s menu always showcases the freshest and most genuine flavors available.

Historically, five other Czech bars and two restaurants have made the 50 Best list. Alongside Alma, notable names from Prague include Black Angel’s, Hemingway, and L’Fleur, while the restaurant scene features La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise.

Also worthy of mention is the Super Panda Circus in Moravia, another distinguished Czech establishment that is included on the list.
