Best Restaurants Open Late in Prague 2026
Open Late · Prague · 6 tables ranked · Updated June 2026

Prague is one of the few European capitals where you can order a proper schnitzel at one in the morning and pay less than you would at eight. The city's late kitchens are pubs and beer halls, not dining rooms, and the better ones cook genuinely well long after the Michelin rooms have sent their last plate. The test here is simple. A real kitchen still working past eleven, not a bar reheating crisps. Six pass, from the flagship Lokal to a non-stop Zizkov pizzeria. They are ranked on how late they cook, how good it is, and what the bill says at the end.
1.Lokal Dlouha
Ambiente's flagship pub pouring tank Pilsner and plating svickova past midnight off a dedicated night menu; for late Czech cooking, reserve it.
Lokal Dlouha is the original and largest of the Ambiente group's pubs, on Dlouha in the Old Town, with chef de cuisine Jan Martinek over the kitchen and founder Tomas Karpisek over the group. The kitchen runs to midnight from Monday to Saturday and keeps a dedicated late-night menu, so you can still order svickova in cream sauce or the butter-fried schnitzel when the Dlouha bars empty into it around eleven. Tank Pilsner Urquell pours from twelve tanks. Mains sit around 215 to 345 koruna, excellent value for cooking this honest. Arrive before midnight, since it fills fast and the wait for a table grows late.
Book through lokal-dlouha.ambi.cz.
2.Sherlock's Pub
An Old Town pub whose kitchen sends fajitas and burgers until three, the latest reliable plate near Narodni; order here.
Sherlock's Pub sits on Bartolomejska between Narodni trida and the river, and its kitchen is the latest dependable one in the centre, running until three in the morning every night. The cooking is broad pub and Tex-Mex, fajitas, burgers and ribs, with no chef to name because that is not what this is. Mains land around 200 to 350 koruna, fair money for a genuine hot plate at three. It is a working late-night room rather than a destination, which is exactly the point after the kitchens at the smarter places have gone dark. Walk in; there is rarely a wait this late.

3.Kozicka
A Stare Mesto cellar grilling ribeye into the small hours with Krusovice on tap; for a midnight steak, choose it.
Kozicka has worked a brick cellar on Kozi near Staromestska for years, a gastropub that grills well and pours Krusovice from the tap. The room stays open to four in the morning from Monday to Saturday, and the kitchen runs late with it, turning out grilled steaks and big salads when most Old Town places have closed. Steaks and mains sit around 250 to 450 koruna, mid-range for the centre and worth it for the quality of the grill. The cellar fills with a local late crowd rather than tour groups. Confirm the last grill order with the bar when you arrive, since it can close before the room.
Walk in late on Kozi street.
4.Jama
A 1990s expat institution off Wenceslas Square cooking Czech-beef burgers to one in the morning; for a late, fair-priced plate, head here.
Jama, the Hollow, has been a Prague expat fixture since the 1990s, tucked on V Jame just off Wenceslas Square. The kitchen runs to around one in the morning, longer than almost any sit-down room in the New Town, and the burgers built on Czech beef are the order, with the beer-battered fish and chips close behind. Mains sit around 250 to 390 koruna, fair for the centre and for the hour. It is an unfussy American-style pub that happens to cook properly late, which is rarer here than it should be. The burgers are the safe order; the kitchen genuinely keeps going to closing.
Book through jamarestaurant.cz.
5.U Havrana
A cheap, unpretentious pub near IP Pavlova frying svickova and smazak till three for locals and cab drivers; for value, pick it.
U Havrana on Halkova near IP Pavlova is the locals' late pub, the kind of place cab drivers and night-shift workers fill after midnight. The kitchen takes orders until around three in the morning from Monday to Saturday, frying svickova, fried cheese and goulash for a fraction of Old Town money, with mains under 300 koruna. There is no chef and no pretension, and that is the appeal. It is the cheapest genuine late plate on this list, and the bill stays small even with a few beers. Bring cash, expect a late local crowd, and check the Sunday hours before a wasted trip.
Walk in on Halkova; check the Sunday hours.
6.Roma Uno
A Zizkov wood-oven pizzeria running near round-the-clock, pizzas from a hundred koruna; for a 3am slice, grab it.
Roma Uno is the Zizkov non-stop pizzeria on Jagellonska near Jiriho z Podebrad, the city's best-known round-the-clock oven. It fires wood-oven pizza in some thirty-nine varieties, with pies from about 100 to 250 koruna, the cheapest late carbs in Prague. The kitchen runs close to the clock, though a non-stop oven can pause briefly in the small hours, so confirm if you are arriving at four or five. There is no chef to credit; this is fuel done well and cheaply. For a pizza after the pubs close, it is the reliable answer, and the bill barely registers.
Order at romauno.cz; open around the clock.
Not for a late dinner
Right city, wrong hour
Field. Radek Kasparek's one-Michelin-star room in the Old Town is one of the best dinners in Prague, but service ends at half past ten and the last seating is earlier, so it is no kind of late table. Book it for a planned dinner at a normal hour, and keep this page for after eleven.
Cafe Imperial. The grand Art Deco hall on Na Porici, with Zdenek Pohlreich's name over it, looks like a place that would serve late, but it closes at eleven and the kitchen stops before that. It is a breakfast-to-dinner room, not a late kitchen; go for the room by day, not a midnight plate.
Booking a late table in Prague
Prague is generous with late food, but the rule still holds: read the kitchen's last order, not the door's closing time. Sherlock's, Kozicka, U Havrana and Roma Uno keep their kitchens going past midnight and rarely need a booking, so you can simply turn up. Lokal Dlouha is the one to plan around, since it fills from the Dlouha bars around eleven; arrive before midnight or expect a wait. The full Prague dining guide covers the earlier rooms and the smarter kitchens.
If you land after midnight without a plan, head for the pubs and the pizzeria rather than the Michelin rooms, which close their kitchens by half past ten. Sherlock's and U Havrana are built for it, and Roma Uno runs near the clock. Order before the stated last call, confirm it with the floor when you sit, and keep an eye on the beer count rather than the food, since the drinks are where a cheap night quietly adds up. Most of these rooms prefer cash late at night.
Frequently asked
Which Prague restaurant has the latest kitchen?
Sherlock's Pub near Narodni trida keeps the latest reliable kitchen, sending out fajitas and burgers until three in the morning. Kozicka and U Havrana run their kitchens into the small hours too, and Roma Uno in Zizkov cooks pizza close to round the clock. For a guaranteed late plate near the centre, Sherlock's is the safest choice.
Do Prague restaurants serve food after midnight?
Yes, and more reliably than in most European capitals. Prague's late kitchens are pubs and pizzerias rather than dining rooms: Lokal cooks Czech classics off a night menu, Sherlock's, Jama, Kozicka and U Havrana all serve past midnight, and Roma Uno runs near round the clock. The Michelin rooms, by contrast, close their kitchens by half past ten.
Where can I eat late in Prague on a budget?
U Havrana near IP Pavlova is the cheapest genuine late table, frying svickova and smazak for locals and cab drivers until around three, with mains under 300 koruna. Roma Uno in Zizkov sells wood-fired pizza from about a hundred koruna near round the clock. Both keep the bill low if you stick to the food and a beer.
Is Lokal open late in Prague?
Yes. Lokal Dlouha in the Old Town keeps its kitchen open to midnight Monday to Saturday and runs a dedicated late-night menu, so you can order svickova or a schnitzel well after the bars on Dlouha empty into it around eleven. The Ambiente group pours fresh tank Pilsner Urquell alongside. Arrive before midnight to avoid a wait for a table.
How much does a late dinner cost in Prague?
Plan on 180 to 450 koruna for a main at these rooms before drinks, roughly 7 to 18 euros. U Havrana and Roma Uno are the cheapest, with Czech pub plates and pizza in the low hundreds of koruna; Lokal and Kozicka sit in the middle; Kozicka's steaks are the top of the range. Beer is cheap, so the total stays modest.
Can I walk in for a late table in Prague?
Usually, yes. Sherlock's, Jama, Kozicka, U Havrana and Roma Uno all take late walk-ins most nights, since they are pubs and pizzerias rather than reservation-only rooms. Lokal Dlouha is the exception: it fills from the Dlouha bars around eleven, so arrive before midnight or expect to wait for a table.
