Prague’s most (in)famous pub neighborhood, you can’t help but spot at least one watering hole from every street corner. This district rapidly grew into an alternative culture haven, fueled by beer and caffeine, with an almost palpable atmosphere conducive to an interesting evening in some random booze bunker. The district is dominated by Vítkov Hill, atop of which stands the world’s largest equestrian statue.

Located just at the foot of the hill, on the main artery of this district, U Slovanské Lípy has been a beer hall sending people home happy and full for a number of years. Prokopovo Náměstí (náměstí means square) has a horse statue of its own: the famed drunken author Jaroslav Hašek, while just off this triangular square you’ll find Sociální bistro Střecha, which employs homeless and marginalized peoples to cook some very nice food while serving great beer and coffee from similarly-minded companies.

Pivo a Párek will fulfill bottle needs in a pinch, and quench your thirst while you browse. Žižkavárna, on Kubelíkova street, is great for a coffee, cake and a beer from the nearby Vinohradský brewery. Palác Akropolis is a cultural house with a interesting restaurant. Further into Eastern Zizkov you’ll find Pivní Rozmanitost, one of Prague’s best bottle shops (and most affordable according to our price comparison). Rows of refrigerators house best-selling and hard-to-find local microbrews alike, otherwise they have a fantastic selection of beers from tiny German breweries and other international greats, as well as a small, but well-curated, tap selection.

Kino Aero is an arthouse cinema with an onsite bar that pours beers from breweries such as Břevnov and Klinec Katz; a good film with a good beer, what could be better?
