Bottega Prosecco Bar

One glass of prosecco at T1 here can rival a whole bottle in central Prague.

Bottega Prosecco Bar sits landside in Terminal T1, before security, and runs daily from 07:00 to 21:00. It shows up in Priority Pass-style listings more as a prosecco pit stop than a sit-down restaurant, and that framing is accurate: this is a bar first, food second.

Expect prices at least 2–3x what you’d pay for a similar glass in town. Reddit and Expats.cz complaints call out airport wine bars in general, and Bottega gets named specifically for “insanely priced” pours. Figure mid-$$ just for a single glass of bubbles, and more if you start adding snacks or cocktails.

The draw is the Italian focus: prosecco on tap, branded Bottega bottles behind the counter, plus a short list of wines and basic bar bites. Treat it as a quick glass while you watch the T1 departure boards rather than a full meal. If you want value, Prague city wine bars beat this place easily on both price and selection.

Regulars with Priority Pass or airline vouchers sometimes route their credit here, basically using someone else’s money to blunt the markup. Locals on r/Prague often say they drink in the city, then switch to water or coffee at the gate rather than paying Bottega’s rates. If you’re paying cash, set a limit before you sit down.

Watch out for seating. Travellers report it feels cramped and can fill up before the afternoon wave of non‑Schengen departures from T1, so after about 14:00 you may be standing with your glass. Staff will still serve you, but lingering isn’t realistic when every stool is taken.

Practical tip: if you care about budget, grab a bottle of water or soft drink at a T1 landside shop, then save any splurge on prosecco for Prague city bars after you return, where the same money buys you a much longer sit.
