Prague's nicest open-air wine garden claims to be its oldest as well - appar-
ently established by Emperor Charles IV himself. Enjoy a glass of locally made white
or red on a refurbished wooden gazebo overlooking the vineyards and the Nusle val-
ley. There's no easy way to get here; try cutting through Vinohrady, following Amer-
ická and then continuing through Havlíčkovy sady. On trams 6, 7 and 24, stop at
Otakarova then walk (uphill); for 4 and 22 stop at Jana Masaryka then walk.

This
traditional pub has something of a British gentlemen's club feel about it. There's an
excellent range of beers on hand, including harder-to-find varieties from Ježek and
Lobkowicz, plus decent food and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

Café Kaaba is a stylish little cafe-bar with retro furniture
and pastel-coloured decor that comes straight out of the 1959 Ideal Homes Exhibition.
It serves up excellent coffee (made with freshly ground imported beans). Note that the
wi-fi is only free for customers from opening until 6pm.
PUUB
SOKOLOVNA
little unfair to consign Sokolovna to the 'pub' category. After all, it's also a pretty
good restaurant, serving excellent traditional Czech food, including a good-value
luncheon special. But it's a great beer joint too, with unpasteurised Pilsner Urquell
(tankové pivo) on tap served in a dignified 1930s interior.
