Jerry was heading towards Germany today, leaving me for an extra day in Praha, but first, a quick visit to
U sadu
kroupovo náměstí 5, Prague 3
222 727 072
Mon-Fri 08-04, Sat-Sun 09-04
The first thing you’ll notice about this place is the opening hours! 8am during the week and 9am on weekends, staying open till 4 the following morning! Again, a decent selection of 8 beers, including unfiltered Gambrinus 10. Oh – and free wifi! It’s not the easiest place to find in the middle of a housing estate.
Jihoměstský pivovar

Make sure you have a good map! Located a few minutes walk from Háje metro station in Jiní Město, Pragues biggest panelák housing estate appears to be just a grey concrete building from the outside, but inside is a German beer hall-esque restaurant and bar. They brew 5 of their own beers and the food’s rather good too!
Pivovarský Klub

‘Only’ 6 taps, but bottled beers from 30 or so Czech breweries and even more from further afield. Quite a light, airy place that doesn’t allow smoking (!?!). Again, didn’t eat this time but have done in the past and it’s been fine.
