A secret hidden underground

A secret hidden underground

Reservation 

Beneath the Old Town, something remained hidden for decades. n 2009, during the reconstruction of Hotel U Prince in the heart of Prague, workers discovered a sealed box.Iinside was A diary. Sketches. Notes without full explanation. Enough to suggest a story. Enough to shape what followed. The beginning of Black Angel’s Bar.

The vision of Alois Krcha - whose diary was found - lives on here. Inspired by the atmosphere of the 1920s and 30s, it lives on in a cocktail bar hidden within a Gothic cellar beneath the Old Town. The light stays low. The air carries another era. And the story begins the moment you step inside.

Discover Alois Krcha’s story 

A name that carries weight in Prague’s bar scene. A bartender of the First Republic. A craftsman. A traveller.
A man who believed a bar could be more than a place for conversation and drink. His diary, sketches and notes are fragments of a story never fully told. Some was preserved.

The rest remains between the lines. From them emerged a bar shaped by atmosphere and ritual. The cocktail menu is not merely a collection of drinks, but a reflection of a different approach, guided by intuition. Each recipe has its origin. Each detail, its meaning.

About Dan Brown 

A bar that captivated Dan Brown.
So much so that it appears repeatedly in “The Secret of Secrets” as a place where reality and fiction begin to blur. and where the impossible becomes possible. Black Angel’s is not part of the story by chance. It becomes one of its defining elements shaping its direction, atmosphere and mystery.

As a tribute, Dan Brown was given his own chapter within the story of Black Angel’s. The signature cocktail menu pays tribute to his literary world - drawing on the themes, symbols, and imagination that run through his work.

Stories of Alois Krcha
As the head bartender at Cotton Club, New York, Alois was authorized to organize Al Capone's 29th birthday party. The entire American underworld and the Mafia elite were invited. Alois had pre-prepared several barrels with cocktails because he thought the turn-up would be high and killers generally hate to wait for cocktails. The party was a success and no lives were lost. However, a single barrel was left forgotten in the cellar. Six months later, Alois found it and discovered its contents were not bad at all, to the contrary: the cocktail had acquired flavour and fineness. This made him think he would not use barrels only to store bootleg alcohol but particularly pre-prepared drinks. He used such drinks as special presents for his chums.

  • “A stylish cocktail bar set in a Gothic cellar, inspired by the spirit of the Prohibition era.“
