Lokál Hamburk

Top choice in Prague


By far the most popular place to gather in Karlín is Lokál Hamburk, an offshoot of the exceptionally successful Lokál in the Old Town. This incarnation is a more convivial, tightly packed affair, with long benches, pretty Portuguese-style tiling and high-vaulted ceilings. It's chock-a-block from clocking-off time, full of students and office workers who come for the Urquell and hearty food.
