Discover Futuristic Robotic Cafés and Bars in Czechia: A Sci-Fi Culinary Adventure!
Brno: A Robot in the Gallery
Brno, the second largest city in Czechia, is at the forefront of robotic cafés. Nestled on the ground floor of the Museum of Decorative Arts in Brno, this venue appears as if it has been transported straight from a science fiction narrative. The interior, which draws inspiration from the renowned film Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, features a remarkable barista—an innovative robotic arm. This clever machine can whip up coffee, hot chocolate, or lemonade in less than a minute. A unique highlight of the café is the popular selfieccino; the robot has the ability to imprint a customer’s photograph into the frothy foam of a cappuccino or hot chocolate.
You might find it interesting to know that the term “robot,” which is now recognized globally, actually traces its roots back to Czech. It first emerged in Karel Čapek’s play R.U.R, where it described an artificial laborer.
In South Moravia, surrounded by pristine landscapes, you can indulge in another robotic experience. At the charming JAMAI CAFE Nad Lávkou situated in the center of Uherský Brod, you can not only enjoy top-notch coffee but also delectable ice cream and desserts. And for an extra touch of excitement, a friendly robotic waiter will deliver your order right to your table.
A Robotic Waiter and Bartender
In the capital city of Prague, you can also engage in exciting robotic gastronomic experiences. At the UGO Salad Bar located in Palladium and at the UGO branch on Wenceslas Square, your culinary order will be delivered by a cutting-edge “food robot.” Additionally, robots serve patrons at the exquisite café within the Municipal House, an Art Nouveau masterpiece in the historic heart of the Czech capital.
CYBERDOG by David Černý. CyberDog is a futuristic robotic wine bar created for a private company. You can discover CyberDog in the Nové Butovice district of Prague, and it is part of a tour highlighting the works of Czech sculptor David Černý—known for creating the giant kinetic head of the acclaimed writer Franz Kafka, among other installations.
If you venture into Prague’s vibrant nightlife, the robotic bar at Karlovy Lázně, situated right next to the enchanting Charles Bridge—the backdrop for one of the pivotal scenes in Dan Brown’s renowned novel The Secret of Secrets—will certainly pique your interest. Here, mechanical arms craft cocktails and elevate the clubbing experience to extraordinary new heights.
