There are two Bar and Books locations in Prague, both are amazing cocktail bars and both have a cigar lounge where you can enjoy both a drink and a cigar indoors.
The soulful duo, Lady and the Devil now play at Národní Bar and Books on Saturday evenings.
Once inside, the place has a colonial club atmosphere.
The main bar is non smoking. You need to walk over through a doorway to the left of the bar to enter the cigar lounge, where the theme continues.
You can purchase cigars from the Bar and Books humidor – 100 Kč is added to your bill if you bring your own.
Everything is set up for cigar aficionados; cigar cutters, a candle, cedar sticks, with a glass in which to extinguish them and heavy cigar ashtrays.
Drinks are priced as you would expect for the location and style. Water is served in a crystal decanter. The service is impeccable.
High up in the corner is a television, where a selection of Bond movies play silently – yesterday evening was the Roger Moore classic ‘A View to a Kill’.
Bar and Books is perfect. Even if you aren’t a cigar smoker, the main bar is an impressive place for a cocktail. Bond would enjoy a drink here.
