Pubs outside of centre!!!!!!

Can anybody help!!!

We are visiting prague in 2 weeks, however we want to sample a few beers away from the old town and Castle district.

Can anybody advice a good area where we can have a few pivos away from these areas. We are on Karlova and can easily catch a tram away from this area.

What is the best tram to get on and which stops to get off. We have previous knowledge of the number 17, as based in Praha 9 (i think).

Thanks

Tom

I always just get on any tram and just get off at random somewhere in the suburbs - just go to any pub and the pubs you will find there are generally much more authentic, cheaper and friendlier than the ones in the centre. The smokier and murkier the better :)

I agree with the above comment.

In my blog I%26#39;ve reviewed several pubs outside de centre. I live in Prague and I certainly prefer them to most in the tourist area. Click on the label %26quot;Tips for visitors%26quot; and you%26#39;ll find them.

You could catch tram 18 and get off at Nuselska Radnice to go to U Bansethu a new and very nice brewpub next to an old and classic Pilsner hospoda.(…blogspot.com/2008/01/new-kid-in-twon.html)

agree with the others,just about any place in the suburbs will be fine,I have eaten and drank in many that I can%26#39;t remember the name of,no english menus but always managed to get some food and a beer and have always been made welcome.

On my last visit I was based in the Zizkov area and drank in several local bars ,one of which had live music on most nights ,cheap beer,good music and pleasant company,what more do you need.

Thanks for your replies Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it much cheaper than the centre, out in the suburbs?

|||

In average, yes. Though, if we don%26#39;t count the tourist traps, it is not by much really. Depends a lot on the kind of place you want to go, if it is a nice restaurant, there are several in Vinohrady that will be just as pricey as those in the centre, if it is a pub, those tapping Pilsner Urquell won%26#39;t have a big difference in price than a similar one in the centre.

Hello Tom, we will be staying in Prague 9 - at the hotelinturprag - for just one night. So I am interested in the answers you are getting here.

For me it is going to be a balance between seeing the Prague sights and sampling the %26quot;craft beers%26quot;, rather than the popular pivos. I am a Praha virgin - it%26#39;s my first time, ha ha.

From what I am reading here I think I might stay local and ignore the city tourist spots.

I have spotted these on the Prague 9 mappy,cz thingy:

Vysočanská rychta restaurace

U Ferdinanda, Skloněná

Black Hill Pivní Bar

Any thoughts folks...

Hello Tankard

I can%26#39;t comment on the pubs around Praha 9 as we headed straight for the town centre touristy pubs. 4 years on we have grown up a little bit, we are also taking along a Praha Virgin so will be based in the centre but want a few hours away in the suburbs.

We stayed in the Hotel Helena (praha 9) but can%26#39;t see any trace of this on t%26#39;net any longer. Their was a Blue Viagra a few doors down but stayed well clear.

Enjoy the magical city, you will have great fun. www.Praguepubs.com is a good site and shows some good bars in the centre.

Tom

Thanks Tom :)

Tankard, can you give me the address of the hotel? I can%26#39;t find it with the name, and a couple of the places you mention, at least namewise sound interesting and wouldn%26#39;t mind checking them out.

Cheers

Hello Max, how nice to hear from you. Thank you for asking.

I shall just copy/paste what I have found out.

I have been researching %26amp; collecting all the information I can for our four day Cz trip in May. I am a Praha virgin - it%26#39;s my first time. I shall be with a few others, some of whom have been before. I do not understand all of what follows, but offer it to you to decipher.

We are a group of friends who love real ale and we are looking for Craft Beers rather than popular pivo.

I have a few more questions I would like to ask you and the others pivo professionals, but I shall do that in a fresh post rather than high jack Tom%26#39;s post here - sorry Tom :)
