A dark, cozy spot serving some of the best cocktails in town, Zapa is popular with expats and tourists. Despite that, the prices are reasonable, the service is friendly and you never feel rushed while you’re there enjoying a drink. This is also a great place to try authentic Absinthe or to ask the bartender to create a special mix just for you – which he’ll gladly do!
Latran 15, 381 01 Cesky Krumlov, +420 380 712 559
Gorila
A pure rock & pop pub favored by locals, Gorila is the best option in town if you feel like listening to 1960s and 70s rock. Gorila was once a bit of a smoky, sticky place, but with the nationwide cigarette ban initiated, this is one thing you should ignore about old reviews of the place. Ask the friendly owner (who often tends bar here) for a local Bernard beer.
Winehouse and Bar Bertold
Bertold deserves a visit just for its amazing setup – a cave-like underground room made up of beautiful stone, rustic furniture and just the right amount of light. In addition to a great selection of wines, Bertold has an impressive menu of liqueurs and spirits, including a large selection of whiskeys and bourbons.
