Bugsy's Cocktail Bar
06/07/2012 16:26
Sometimes when spending a night on the town, hopping from bar to bar seems fun and
exciting. Some nights, however, you want to simply go to a bar that has every option
you could possibly imagine, drink a larger variety of beverages then you could possibly
imagine,
one bar to the next yet still somehow feel as though you spent the evening in a refined
environment. On those nights in Prague, the American-themed Bugsy’s Bar is the place
you need to be.
The bar itself is located just down the street from Old Town Square, placing it in
one
50’s theme which creates a relaxing atmosphere and is best suited for small groups.
Voted
which it refers to as “The Blue Bible.” The Blue Bible is Bugsy’s Bar’s drink menu and
is about as thick as a classic novel. Its contents include over two hundred different
cocktail
behind the bar of Bugsy’s has won more bartending awards than any other bar in the
country!
The theme of the establishment is accented by a plethora of artifacts and
memorabilia. Some of the items include bottles still marked “Hecho en Cuba,” and a
bottle of Hennessy signed by Maurice Hennessy himself. One can also gaze at the first,
hand decorated, Bugsy’s apron or the ponder that successfully made over 41,328 drinks.
The list of interesting objects is almost as long as the cocktail menu.
The interior design of Bugsy’s isn’t quite as flashy as one would expect but that is
because of their obvious attention to detail when it comes to their drink menu. Just
watching the bartenders at work is a source of entertainment that attracts nightly guests.
Bugsy’s bartenders are so knowledgeable that the bar hosts lessons and training seminars.
The staff is always smartly dressed and eager to please. Drinks can range from anything
as simple as a rum and coke to some of the most colorful concoctions eyes have ever
seen.
So, when a bar has this much to offer what could possibly be the downside?
Make certain not to get too caught up in the flash and flare as the bartenders perform the
tricks of their trade (like throwing bottles and catching them behind their back) or you
may end up ordering what could quite possibly be the world’s most expensive Manhattan
(it is, after all, made from vintage Canadian Club whiskey). The clientele is also a bit
high brow as Bugsy’s is known for attracting women seeking men with deep pockets.
Regardless of the night’s intentions, Bugsy’s serves as a great place to get started
or to stay the entire night. If you go every night of the week, you will only drink the
same drink twice if you choose to do so.
