Cannabis-Friendly Restaurants in Czech Republic
Finding a restaurant where you can comfortably enjoy a meal and light up at the same time has been nearly impossible in the Czech Republic since the introduction of the anti-smoking law in 2017. Nevertheless, there are establishments that have a more tolerant approach to cannabis, whether through their atmosphere, name, or focus.
What Does "Cannabis-Friendly" Restaurant Mean?
It's important to clarify that a "cannabis-friendly" restaurant in the Czech Republic doesn't mean a place where it's legal to smoke THC indoors. Rather, it means an establishment that:
- Has tolerant staff and atmosphere.
- Offers outdoor seating (patio) where smoking is generally more tolerated.
- May have references to cannabis culture in its name or menu.
- Sometimes offers food or drinks containing legal CBD.
Recommended Establishments in Prague
420 Restaurant
This restaurant is located on Old Town Square and its name is a clear reference to cannabis culture. Although it's a standard restaurant aimed at tourists, its name and location make it an interesting place for a photo and good food in the center of the action. However, don't expect the possibility of smoking here [1].
Coffeeshop Hempo
This establishment in Prague is one of the few that openly embraces cannabis culture. In addition to selling CBD products, it also offers refreshments such as their famous "UFO burgers". It's a great place to meet like-minded people in a relaxed atmosphere [2].
Tips for Brno
The scene in Brno is similar. Look for establishments with an alternative spirit and a patio. Places like Absinthový Bar Naproti or Skleněná Louka are known for their bohemian atmosphere where you can feel more comfortable, although smoking indoors is of course prohibited.
Legal Notice
Since May 31, 2017, a complete smoking ban has been in effect in the Czech Republic in all indoor spaces of restaurants, bars, and cafes. This law also applies to electronic cigarettes and hookahs. Smoking cannabis in public may be subject to fines. Always be discreet and considerate of your surroundings.
