Pubs are usually open from 11.00 until 23.00; bars stay open later, some until the early morning hours. Prague's traditional pubs usually serve cheaper beer and some local spirits while modern bars serve a range of Czech and international beers, wine, spirits and cocktails. Czech pubs are not only places for a nice pint of Pilsner; most of them can fill up your belly with a traditional Czech culinary dish too.

Recommended pubs and bars:

U Fleků is a pub and microbrewery in Prague. The front façade of the 12th-century building has an old, highly-decorated clock above its door. U Fleků is more expensive than other places, but you are drinking special dark beer brewed on the premises of the oldest Czech brewery in Prague while enjoying live music and chatting with tourists from all over the world.

U Pinkasu. The first pub to serve the world-famous Czech beer, Pilsner Urquell. Traditional Czech food. Close to underground station Mustek.

At St. Thomas's (U Svateho Tomase). Augustinian monks first brewed beer here in 1352 and so it is one of the oldest beer halls in Prague. The basement of the old brewery has three beer halls including one furnished in mock medieval style. Great, authentic atmosphere.
