Beer Halls and Pubs

If you are looking for truly delicious Czech cuisine favored by locals, you should head to Ferdinanda. It is only a matter of time before this rather secluded restaurant receives rave reviews, becomes an overnight sensation and is conquered by tourists. The establishment boasts a bright interior with farm motifs - rakes serve as coat hangers and feed bins are used as ashtrays. The staff is incredibly warm, friendly and efficient. Although they do not speak much English, they will make the effort to accommodate you. The food has an authentic homemade taste and is delicious. Czech cuisine is k ...

A Mecca for tourists, U Kalicha has all the essential features of a traditional Czech pub: meat, dumplings, beer and more beer. This popular restaurant has stood on the same spot for over a hundred years and the interior was refurbished sometime in the thirties. The main dining space can seat several hundred guests and the walls are adorned with large cartoon depictions of the literary character Good Soldier Svejk and quotes from Jaroslav Hasek's book of the same name. Throughout the years, visitors have added their own personal comments and signatures. Somewhere among the hoards of signatures ...

U Medvidku, or At the Little Bears, is one of a dwindling number of classic Czech pubs operating in Old Town. In a popular tourist destination such as Prague you often come across ‘Czech Pubs’ that are not at all traditional; U Medvidku is the complete opposite, you will be completely satisfied with U Medvidku’s traditional atmosphere, and the fact that Czechs still frequent this real-deal establishment is all the proof you need. The cozy interior is complete with rows of wooden tables and chairs (usually packed full of people, so arrive early!) and an army of servers bearing ...

This classic blue collar dive was given a dramatic makeover in the late nineties. Now, large swathes of refurbished copper adorn the bars and the grandiose main room opens up onto what was once a third-story ceiling. The spacious room features rows of well-tended, comfy tables and booths nestled among alcoves and balconies and big screen TVs showing sporting events. Although it has more or less shed its working class origins, U Vejvodu manages to keep the Czech pub spirit alive. Pilsner is a reasonable CZK 34 per half liter, and the food is traditional Czech fare with some pasta and salad ...

The PUB is a cool place to drink fresh unpasteurized beer from individual table taps that you get to operate yourself! The lively atmosphere, unpasteurized beer, delicious food, comfortable seats and decent prices will not disappoint. In fact you may end up drinking the night away with your friends, as it is indeed dangerous to be the pourer of your own drinking fate and since there will not be a line for service at the bar, watch out. This is a good place to go out for the night and enjoy the city of Prague and its world famous beer. The Pub also serves typical Czech fare at affordable ...

Thirsty for a delicious pint of Pilsner? Skip all those tourist-oriented restaurants and bars that line Old Town Square and head over to Kolkovna V Kolkovně.

Perched atop the city part of the Strahov Monastery compound and the lush surrounding Petrin Hill, the Strahov Brewery is a delightful find in the bustling city of Prague.

The unfiltered and unfermented brews include a bitter Amber blend that is similar to a German Märzen, or a German Lager beer, and a dark Vienna brew from Dunkel. Seasonal brews vary with the summer ...

In the heart of Prague awaits one of the most charming hidden gardens where you can sample hearty Czech food and the delicious amber nectar that is Czech beer.

It is with joy that we happily recommend the authentic U Pinkasu Restaurant, which is situated in the city center in between Prague’s Old and New Town. The restaurant was established in 1843 by Jakub Pinkas as a traditional ...
