Emma Bečvářová
Shift manager
Hangar is more than just a climbing center for me. It is a place where new friendships, opportunities and experiences are made. In addition to climbing, I enjoy the great coffee and unique atmosphere here.

Sofie Gabrielová
Shift manager
The Hangar welcomed me as a total newcomer to the world of climbing and over time grew to my heart so that it became an inseparable part of my life. I enjoy the atmosphere, the energy and everything that Hangar creates around it and I’m so happy to be part of the local collective, whether it’s behind the bar or on the wall.

Lenka Pavlíková
Shift manager
I am a little girl with big dreams who found a second family in the hangar. For me, the bar is a place where I can grow, try new things and not be afraid to make mistakes. It taught me to step out of my comfort zone and showed me that this is where the biggest shift begins. Moreover, everything I love comes together here, whether in front of the bar or behind the bar: climbing, laughing and espresso orange with caramel syrup.

Babeta Donné
Shift manager
My brother introduced me to climbing and now I’m here! Hangar is a place for me where colleagues and visitors become inseparable companions. Working (not only) behind the bar energizes me and gives me valuable experience.

Kateřina Hledíková
Shift manager
You’ll find me behind the bar, where I’ll be happy to serve you and help with anything you need. Being a shift leader gives me the chance to grow in so many different ways, and I’m grateful to have that opportunity right here, in a team full of supportive, amazing people. My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable with us and enjoy a relaxed, laid-back time at Hangar.

Kateřina Vlková
Shift manager
Hangar is a place that grew close to my heart in a way I honestly didn’t expect. Mostly thanks to the amazing team that runs it and keeps making it better. Everyone here makes you feel incredibly welcome, and now I’m doing my best to pass that atmosphere on.

Petr Laco
Shift manager
At first, I thought about going for something like “Hangar is like a box of chocolates…”, but my creative brain cells apparently went on vacation, so here’s what you get instead: What I value most about Hangar is the great community and the people who make working here fun. I like spicing up my shifts with good vibes and good coffee. That’s all you’re getting out of me — thank you, end of transmission.
