The American Bar

The American Bar is the oldest bar in Prague and the second oldest bar in Europe
Its history dates back to the beginning of the last century, when it was probably the first major public place to reflect the ideas of the “New World”, which were then a model and concretised the patriotic and political ideals of the time of the foundation of a democratic republic.The American Bar is located in the basement of the Municipal House. Its walls are lined with black Rako tiles with white grout. Among other things, they contrast with the folk paintings by Mikoláš Aleš in brass frames. The vaulted room is illuminated by an Art Nouveau chandelier by František Křižík with a heron motif. The black marble bar counter is complemented by black leather armchairs matching the benches in the local café.
