Malá Strana


Just around the corner from the British Embassy, this old Malá Strana boozer hasn't changed much since the grotty days of the worker's republic, and is still serving its Urquell and basic soak-up food at simple wooden benches. It's normally inhabited by locals, so who knows, you might event meet the British ambassador here chatting about Brexit.
