For a good traditional Czech pub around Wenceslas Square, frequented by locals enjoying a glass of beer or wine (and the odd shot) with friends, look no further than U Provaznice. U Provaznice may have a plain, worn look from the street, but once inside you are greeted by rustic fiery red and orange walls, a wood and brick décor, and a nice warm atmosphere. As with most Czech pubs, service is at the table, although you can also order at the bar. Czech beers on tap include the pale lagers, Pilsner Urquell and Gambrinus, plus a dark Kozel beer. Most wines are served by the glass, with a choice of red or white, and there is a selection of spirits and soft drinks. In the warmer months the pub benches outside fill quickly. There's not much to look at mind you, just the entrance to the Mustek metro opposite. U Provaznice is an easy-going Czech pub which appeals to all generations. Prague locals form the main-stay clientele, but they are joined by an ever changing cast of tourists ranging from couples to backpackers to stag weekend groups. For another traditional Czech pub nearby, try U Pinkasu. |
