Patra, located in Prague’s trendy Vršovice neighborhood, is more than just a café—it’s a vibrant, queer-friendly space that’s all about inclusivity and creativity. A favourite among the city’s LGBTQ+ community, this multi-level venue boasts a cozy café-bar on the ground floor, perfect for sipping local Czech beers or indulging in a craft cocktail. The upstairs gallery is where Patra truly shines, regularly hosting contemporary art exhibitions, film screenings, and events tied to the famous Mezipatra Queer Film Festival, which is organized by Patra's founders.
What sets Patra apart is its commitment to being a safe and welcoming hub for everyone who walks through its doors. Whether you're chilling with friends, exploring the latest art installation, or attending one of their thought-provoking workshops, the atmosphere is always laid-back and inclusive. The venue has become an important LGBTQ+ spot in Prague, celebrating individuality and fostering connections through its diverse events. It’s definitely the go-to for anyone looking to dive into Prague’s dynamic queer scene, blending culture, art, and great vibes in one spot.
Flew from London to Prague to visit a friend from November 29th to December 2nd. We visited Patra 2 out of 3 nights I was in Prague and I highly recommended this bar and have only positive things to say about this place. Great vibes, awesome drinks (loved the Cuba Libre’s) they also do a Karaoke night which was fun to watch and listen to. Overall I am very happy and satisfied with the service here and when I come back to visit my friend again we will 100% go back here.
We were wholly disappointed by the cocktails here - the old fashioned was half the size of the typical short drink. Meanwhile the Moscow mule was primarily water. Empty place around 7:30PM and the minimal food menu had items unavailable.
I was going here regularly for a few years because it was truly a queer haven, but I'm really sad to say that it is no longer a friendly & respectful queer...
The owner is treating hardworking employees like absolute garbage - underpaying, not paying, mentally abusing and screaming at them and not hiring more staff to keep up with the customers. Recently bartender was fired on spot after demanding pay for 2 months in front of everyone over phone. Please boycott this place.
I loved this place for several years, but the owner doesn't deserve to have this bar. The staff made it amazing and were the reason we all went there. He mentally abused them, underpaid them or didn't even pay them at all, refused to give them legal employment, etc. While they ran the bar and he was never anywhere to be seen. After firing a favourite employee on the spot in front of the entire bar (over the phone because of course he is never there), everyone walked out and will never go there again as long as he, Roman Martinek, is the owner.
With every new visit, I love this place even more and more. Great drinks, EXTREMELY friendly bartenders (really, they’re all lovely and beautiful people), nice and clean design, amazing atmosphere.Places such as Patra are the definition of safe space for LGBTQ+ people, unlike the majority of other queer bars and clubs in Prague. This is how it’s supposed to be. Friends, TerMIX and others, y’all should watch and learn.I’m so grateful that this place exists and to all the people that make it happen. Thank you.
Nicest staff ever, the lovely ginger-haired person who attended us was so kind and welcoming. Safe space for Queers, prices are more than okay, and the environment is cozy. Totally recommendable to go have a drink and spend your time there!
I was staying at the nearby hostel and as a solo traveler it's not always easy to connect with strangers at a bar but the people at Patra welcomed me so warmly it felt like I'd known them for years. It's a great, inclusive community of regulars and I cannot recommend this bar enough!Thank you for a great night, I'll definitely come back!
