Popocafepetl Café-Bar — Restaurant in Prague

This would have been a perfectly fine place to have sat down after spending the evening at Signalfest, but there was a man screaming, and I mean absolutely SCREAMING along to every song that came on.

And if you're like "Haha, that sounds cute"- no. It was the ear-piercing, genuinely & literally painful kind of screaming normally reserved for Velociraptors. Except, because this was a drunken man, it was far more gutteral due to a combination of zero vocal control and alcohol abuse. And it DIDN'T STOP THE ENTIRE VISIT.

When foolishly ordering a second drink, I asked some of the servers (all of whom were incredibly pleasant, by the way) who the man was. One by one, each of their faces sank in a sort of crestfallen, apologetic, and embarrassed expression before informing me that the man was none other than the owner's boyfriend, with the implication that there was nothing they could do about it.

It has been nearly two months since my visit to Popocafe, and still the memories of my visit there still fill me with unresolved rage. What would have been an otherwise normal visit to a fun bar became one of the worst experiences I've had after midnight (and trust me, there have been some BAD ones).

I will never return to this bar, and I will actively discourage people from visiting this section of the city, lest the man's screams in the night collapse the surrounding buildings that the government desperately tries to protect.

All I hope for is that I made it out of this experience without tinnitus, and that the memory of the man's Godzilla shrieks eventually stop keeping me...

Visited here last year in 2024, final night on a holiday with friends. Great little bar, really good atmosphere, nice crowd at it that night too, amazin craic was had. Staff were very friendly and prompt with drink orders!

Although there was a wild haired German mad man at the bar in the corner, creeping through facebook profiles of young girls, saving their photos to his laptop, drinking heavily, and grunting. He actually ended up being the "DJ" that evening (later found out he was the manager), and was screaming as loud as he could to the music he played.

I attempted to request a song to be played by the guy, and immediately he started shouting "NO!!!, NO REQUESTS!!! GO AWAY!!!", but then he asked a bar maid for her note pad. He told me to write my request down, so I did. I requested "Artemesia - Bits & Pieces", by writing it on the note pad and showed him it. He immediately stood up, grabbed me by my bomber jacket and thrown me into 2, thankfully empty, tables. He then proceeded to attack me with his bar stool when I attempted to stand up for myself. This crazed maniac started jabbing me with the bar stool as if he was some crazy German Lion tamer. Gave me a black eye and a cut lip. We returned to deal with him not long after this incident but he had left.

I believe his name is Oliver Trumpf AKA "The N a z i P e a d o DJ".

Glad to hear he does not frequent your bar these days! I wonder what bar he's...

Great bar. Found it yesterday just doing a walk. Away from the tourist traps but well worth it. Staff really friendly and beer and wine good quality and dirt cheap. 50cl beer only a £1. Gone are the days of 50p pints in the city. Landladys boyfriend always getting caught for going out for a sneaky cigarette but interaction with him is really funny. A must while your here is to have the loaded nachos for £4.40. May sound expensive for a place like this but you get loads and they come with everything. Great when sharing a beer and wine with your wife who also loves this place as well by the way. Just walked 40 mins from our hotel to be...
