Q Café — Restaurant in Prague

As lesbian women in a new city, we hoped this would be as welcoming as other LGBT bars we have been to around Europe and North America. Not at all.

We walked in to a full bar (all men), and not a smile in sight. Some patrons looked unhappily at us, but most didn't pay any attention which is fine, just not a place where one feels welcome. We were told to go sit downstairs...

It was an empty room with no ambience. I know there is only so much seating available upstairs, but being the only two people in a dark basement wasn't pleasant. Why don't they encourage it to be more evenly distributed knowing it gets so busy? We immediately felt shunned and unwelcome.

Server was fine, I guess. Not friendly but not rude. It was like he knew we would not be staying because as soon as I came upstairs, he was ready with the receipt and machine. Maybe they purposely want people like us to leave so they make it as uncomfortable as possible for us?

Cocktails were not good. While I know bars like this often have sweet, simple, basic cocktails, this was just weird. It was called a Donkey, I think? (Based on a mule but made a ginger beer that didn't match well with the tea liqueur.) At least it wasn't that expensive. Not sure if there is much booze in these drinks though, but if there is, it's decent value. (About €7).

My wife could barely drink hers, but considering we were relegated to the basement, nobody came to check how we were doing. After a few sips in this bland basement, we wanted to leave anyway.

Quite possibly the worst, least welcoming LGBTQ bar I have ever been to and it was pretty unwelcoming here as a member of the community. It doesn't even have charming or fun decor, at the very least.

It seems like it is only a bar for local gay men and...

Very nice place, nice stuff, standard prices. Good location very close to Old town and tram/metro stops. Popular with local people but many tourists going there as well. Bar could be pretty crowded during late afternoons, especially on Fridays and Saturdays but pretty occupied also during week days after standard work hours. Good for coffee or chocolate but also for trying local beer or one of many good cocktails. Good offer of wines or spirits, you can also get some light snacks. Maybe sometimes little bit more loud music. Dogs are allowed and welcome. Credit cards accepted for consumption CZK 100 and more, so I don't think it's...

We were here almost every night. The service was great. Very attentive and pleasant. The crowd can be a little standoffish but that could be said of many of the gay bars I've been to all over the world. The space is cozy but nicely designed. There's also a large amount of space in the basement which is bright and cheery. We only drank beer but having worked in hospitality myself, I watched the bartenders prepare cocktails and they are properly made and well presented if you prefer them to beer or wine. If you're in Prague and want a drink, check this place out. Of the 3 gay bars we went to during our stay, this one...
