U Zlatého tygra
This legendary pub, famed
as the haunt of the late writer
Bohumíl Hrabal
(see p45)
, serves
the finest mug of Pilsner Urquell
in the city. Regulars were non-
plussed when President Václav
Havel brought former US
president Bill Clinton in for a cold
glass, so don't expect them to
take much interest in you. If you
find a seat, it probably means
one of the regulars has died.

U Flek∞
U Flek∞
The city's oldest brewing
pub, U Flek∞ is famous for its
delicious, dark lager and
somewhat more than modest
prices. Despite what anyone tells
you, the Becherovka shots are
not complimentary and the
rounds keep coming until you
say
“ne”
five times. Very popular
with busloads of tourists, and
not without reason
(see p112)
.
Tr e t t e r 's
This is Prague's - and
perhaps Europe's - best cocktail
bar. It may look like a Jazz-Age
time capsule, but Tretter's is
actually a relative newcomer, and
highly welcome at that. You'll
find no bottle juggling, just
serious mixology, very dry
Pivovarsk† d∞m
Excellent, rustic Czech fare
served in a genteel setting. The
house brewmaster is always
concocting strange new flavours
for his drinks, such as coffee
lager or champagne ale. You can
also watch the fermenting vats
that will eventually become
beer, if the process of brewing
interests you.
