Pubs

Catering to well-walleted expats trying to forget about their jobs, freshly Airbused-in EasyBrits trying to forget about their shopping-mad wives, and stag parties trying to remember which hotel they're in, Prague's English-style pubs are doing a roaring trade. Expect them to be generic, loud, expensive (in city where you shouldn't really pay more than 30Kč for a 0.5L beer), and fun. For the adventurous, we've listed some good Czech alternatives.

Formerly Legends sports bar, the Dubliner bills itself as an Irish sports pub. Whatever, you've still got 12 TV's + 2 large screens now nestled in a homely Irish pub atmosphere. If there's an international sport match you gotta watch it's highly likely you'll see it here. Weekends visiting DJ's rule the roost. [...]

A British pub landed slap bang in the middle of Old Town Square. TV screens, a big screen and footy shirts line the walls so it won't remind you of the country outside. Good food, including an all day breakfast with the atmosphere you want to see your team play and win, with any luck. [...]

The memorabilia may be a bit over the top, but it’s preferable to the obligatory stop signs and imitation Coke/Pepsi prints elsewhere. The Hollow’s worn wooden seats are home to expats and locals alike, who frequent this bar for its burgers, BLTs and Tex-Mex as well as the cheap local specials and beer. Bring your laptop for free wi-fi.

Don’t worry, they also have Guinness. If you pine for the days when you could enjoy a pint, a good meal and your favourite sporting event without screaming Englishmen in dresses working on their 20th beer, then belly up to this Irish bar. Watch live sport from one of the sofas in the attic lo [...]

A Pilsner Urquell restaurant serving the flagship 12° brew for just 30Kč, with Kozel on tap and a large, sunny and shady courtyard complete with weeping willow makes this a super stop for liquid and solid sustenance on the tourist trail. Inside, TVs draw crowds for sporting events, wh [...]

This is an Irish bar for locals who crave the beer and atmosphere of the Emerald Isle without the English-speakers. The menu lists Czech-style international dishes and some of the cheapest Guinness in town at 59Kč. It’s probably also the only pub of its genre to offer Kung Pao pork a [...]

Merlin the magician shares brick wall space with Guinness posters and other emblems of Irishness, intermingled with antique agricultural contraptions. The long bar resembles that of an authentic pub and the sofas add to the laid-back feel. The lower level houses the restaurant, which serves the usual options with more than a dash of a varied Mexican menu. [...]

The one police station we'd gladly get locked in. Poličce has a young clientele and a noisy, smoky bierkeller atmosphere which is a great accompaniment for their brews - this microbrewery has been fermenting their nectar since 1517. Dark and light beers on tap and in bottles, plus food and cocktails. Cheap too, at just 14 - 17Kč for a beer. The door is on Chodská. [...]

Just what you’d expect an Irish Cuban bar to be. Likenesses of everybody’s favourite failed revolutionary stare off into space amid a dartboard, TVs, Guinness ads and football paraphernalia. Yuca con mojo may be hard to find, but good food, excellent barstaff and all round fun is readily available. [...]

This split level pub with somewhat authentic feel, paintings all over the walls and small courtyard is the Prague location for the Ostrava original. Part sport bar, part cocktail bar and part pub, Sherlock’s has many stairs, plays some terrible tunes but has a good kitchen which is open till [...]

The Fat Koala boasts (if that’s the word) Foster’s lager, but everything else is more international than Aussie. With 11 beers on tap and more in bottles, this place is a dream and prices (Staropramen 31Kč) are not that high considering its location. Two floors of pub ambience [...]

It's almost unbelievable to find a genuine, top-quality, great priced Czech pub just up the hill from the castle. Yet here it is. A tiled hall full of wooden benches, sextagenerians and the best Kozel on the planet. Walk up Nerudova (A-2), continue up Úvoz and make a right. [...]

A very Czech pub with cool ice hockey game, pool downstairs, terrible toilets, spotty service, amazing collection of objets, or trash depending on your state of mind, and a pretty good kitchen. U Sadu is a local legend for all the above plus the fact they serve beer till dawn and food till 04:00. Love it. [...]

Named for one-eyed hero Jan Žižka, whose statue dominates the skyline of Žižkov. The walls of this place ooze a childish sense of humour, covered as they are in nonsense and art by illustrator Martin Velísek. They look after you (if you're in the g [...]

Havel took Bill Clinton here to demonstrate Czech drinking culture (and let's face it, if there's one thing Havel knows, it's his booze). Get there by opening time to have any chance of getting in. The Pilsner brewery makes special deliveries here - the beer is pumped directly into the large t [...]

The unfortunate staff is dressed a la Rupert the Bear with un-funky check trousers but seem happy enough, as do the clientele.

The Happy Rabbit's vast warren of rooms constitute the home of a Czech pub, music club, restaurant, garden and internet café. Work up a hunger in the cellar club and enjoy their menu until 05:00. A decent deal for its Old Town location. [...]
