There are very few pubs in Prague that can unite such a diverse crowd, in such a unique environment, and consistently serve good beer. With Kout Na Sumave served on well kept and much loved taps, U Slovansky Lipy offers what many beer lovers want- reliably excellent lager. Visiting U Slovansky Lipy is a real Zizkov experience.

U Slovanske Lipy might not look like the best place for good beer, or even welcoming- but, this dusty pub located on Tachovske Namesti in Zizkov will keep your tongue happy. This is the only pub in Prague to serve beer exclusively from Kout na Sumave, a small brewery located just on the north western edge of the Sumava Mountains in the village of Kout na Sumave. They always serve 5 different beers: a 10° unfiltered Kvas (yeast) lager, 10° filtered lager, 12° unfiltered Kvas lager, 14° Tmavy (dark) lager, and an 18° porter. The 12° unfiltered Kvas is one of Prague BeerGarden’s favorites lagers.

At the same time keeping with the most important Czech beer traditions of spotless taps and never an empty glass, this pub is not typical in its atmosphere or decor. From their well chosen variety of cult movie posters, to the odd sculpture in the front window display, there are a number of small details that add a few smiles to your visit. As you look around the room, you’ll notice a large variety of people- frequented by the young hip beer loving crowd, to tables of pickled old men turned yellow by cigarettes, all customers share one thing in common; their love of fine, fresh Czech lager from Kout. 

In case you’re hungry, this humble pub serves some simple, tasty, and inexpensive cuisine, that more than does the job. The team that runs this pub works hard, always delivering friendly service, and happily speaking English. In the summer they have a street side terrace. This pub is smokey, so be prepared to loose half a lung, regardless if you smoke or not.

To get to U Slovanske Lipy, take buses 133 or 207 (which run from Florenc) to bus stop Tachovske Namesti. It’s also possible to take trams 9, 5, or 26; get off at Lipanska and walk down the hill about 10 minutes.
