Tretter's channels 1920s New York glamour in an Old Town cellar, maintaining an encyclopedic cocktail menu that runs well past a hundred classics and their variations. The bartenders work with the unhurried precision of people who've been making Manhattans since before the craft cocktail revival made it fashionable, and the leather-and-brass interior commits to the period aesthetic without tipping into pastiche. It's more relaxed than Hemingway, less theatrical than Anonymous, occupying its own lane as the kind of bar where you settle in for a proper drinking session and trust that every glass will arrive correctly built.

The menu is massive — over a hundred classics executed with consistency. Start with their Manhattan or Sazerac to calibrate, then explore. The bartenders enjoy guiding adventurous drinkers through the deeper reaches of the list.
Weeknight evenings from 8-10pm for the best bartender attention. Weekends bring larger groups and louder atmosphere. The early evening window before 8pm is quiet enough for conversation.
Reservations recommended on weekends. The cellar location can feel warm when crowded. Dress code is relaxed smart casual. Cocktails run 200-300 CZK. The menu size can be overwhelming — ask for guidance rather than reading every page. Card accepted.
