So, I was hesitating to make this suggestion. What if too many people would come here? Then I would lose my favorite place to get the best beer in Prague. Yes, of course, it is Pilsner Urquell, and you can get it in several hundreds of pubs in Prague. But, it is not only beer, but it is also the way it is drawn – and here it is done by experts…
Well, and now to the secret. Even though it is located next to the super overtouristed Karluv most, it has still not been discovered by the travel guides. Yes, it can be pretty busy, and people may be sitting on the pavement outside the pub, but if you know that, you should go to the kitchen and discover the stairs (see the picture) leading down to the cellar, where you may find a quieter place. And if you turn right at the end of the stairs and pass the beer tanks, you can even meet me…
And back to the beer. Do not ever order just beer, you would look like a tourist – order “shnet” (šnyt in Czech). The beer will come with a big head of foam and you should explore the taste of just a beer foam and compare it with the taste of liquid beer. And if you are even more adventurous, order “mleekoh” (mlíko in Czech) – you will get just a foam.
