It was a very enjoyable experience. You have access to a space with a straw bed, toilet, and shower. We shared one bath together, which we found much cozier than using two separate baths. It's an ideal spot to completely unwind and soak in all the beauty of Prague before continuing to explore the city.

We were a group of five guys on a weekend trip in Prague, and the Beer Spa was a fun and unique way to relax in a laid-back environment while enjoying beer. The staff was professional, and the surroundings were pleasant. In the room we were assigned, each jacuzzi accommodated two people. Towels were provided, and there was the option to take a shower at the end.

This place has multiple locations, so make sure you know which one you’re heading to when booking. We visited the site in the Old Town district, not far from the clocktower, and it was easy to find. We booked a 2-tub room for just the two of us for two hours, which I think was the perfect amount of time. Any less (like the 1-hour option), and you might feel rushed, especially with the time it takes to change, etc. While the tubs are roomy enough for two people, it would have felt a bit cramped—so having one each was ideal. I went with my mom, and though neither of us are big beer drinkers, we found it too unique an experience to pass up while in Prague! The staff were incredibly accommodating—since we arrived early, they let us start ahead of schedule, which was much appreciated. They were polite, friendly, and checked in once halfway through, but otherwise left us to enjoy the experience. We both felt very relaxed afterward. The tub was a lovely temperature, though the yeasty smell took a little getting used to. Despite how it looked, the straw bed for relaxing afterward was surprisingly comfortable. They also provided some traditional beer bread to try; I enjoyed the plain one but wasn’t a huge fan of the kind with the lard-based spread. The unlimited draft beer was a fantastic touch! Although this was the most expensive activity we did in Prague, I think it was well worth it for what you get. It was more affordable than I expected for such a unique and memorable experience. We’re really glad we did it, and honestly, we’d probably go again. It was truly a great experience!

This is an excellent suggestion for a spa experience in the Czech Republic, especially during the cold winter months. Self-serve beer on tap, beer bread to snack on, and a truly great whirlpool bathtub infused with malt and hops. Unfortunately, we only booked for an hour, but we still thoroughly indulged ourselves 🥰

We recently checked out BeerSpa Prague and can’t recommend it enough! We soaked in a cozy tub filled with hops, malt, and brewer’s yeast—which, by the way, is fantastic for your skin. Plus, there was a private beer tap right next to the tub. We opted for the room with 4 tubs, a massive straw bed, ice bath, and sauna. The space can fit eight people, though I’d suggest keeping it to four for a more personal experience. Having your own tub makes it extra special! A unique and fun way to wrap up our trip!

An amazing experience! It was such great fun, and we felt very at ease while having a truly enjoyable time! We loved the unlimited beer, though we would have preferred more beer bread. All in all, I would definitely recommend this unique adventure :)

From the moment we entered to the time we exited, the staff was incredibly welcoming and made the experience soothing. We were uncertain about what to expect, but we departed feeling extremely relaxed, and after trying the ice shower, felt revitalized. I'd suggest it to everyone. We made reservations ahead of time.
