72 /100 DLOUHÁ 21, PRAHA 1 - STARÉ MĚSTO
“Had some 20-30 minutes to waste in the touristy purgatory that is Staré Město, and decided to forego the oasis of bliss that is the Hostomice place, but to explore around Dlouhá, see if Beer Story is active or not (not) and so on, even stepping on the dreaded Staromák for the first time since 2017 while pondering if I should waste money at Caffrey's for a quick expensive tourist trap place tick. Decided not to and went back, noticing that, whoa, there was a new PBM right in front of me - again in Dlouhá but at a different location, boasting 24 taps or something like that. Eh, why not. Wandered in for a cheeky beer. Ah yeah... PBM with their almost-never-changing list of largely mediocre to okay beer with few exceptions. Thankfully, Rychtář Rataj was a tick so I got it... for something like 42 for 0.33l, not terrible for SM standards I guess. The aroma was a bit tart, but the taste was fine (a decent beer really), unsure if the pipes are that well cleaned, but I could be wrong. Okay service. Medium to big place in browns - that used to be daNico wine restaurant, Fish & Chips and Long Street Food - now with a less food-driven tenant that might stick longer. The entry room with a big communal table and some niches around was semi-full, unsure about the back, not a terrible ambiance. Dunno. Okay place overall, better than most in the closest area, if you're around and have ticks to find, there, why not.“

Lokál - Hamburk (Restaurant)
SOKOLOVSKÁ 55, PRAHA 8 - KARLÍN
“Lokál is a pretty classic chain - a bit on the "been in one, been in them all", but the generally good but not too expensive food + tank PU + their version of dark Kozel concept is highly popular for a reason I guess. Been past this one tens of times, as it's just by Dva Kohouti, but never went in till now. Packed, really packed, how weird to see that in Covid times... 45 for mlíko (had to get one for Trolleo's and Anna Bog's sake) of 2 day old tank PU.... which turned out not to be in the best of shapes. Weird. Also, the waitress didn't even try to return the 5kč, which is a meh, but they were busy and efficient otherwise. Dunno, I may return for food one of these days and get the full experience, but just for beer, it was a bit of a disappointment.“

82 /100 VELETRŽNÍ 42, PRAHA 7 - HOLEŠOVICE
“One of the newer additions to Prague's Letná beer place cluster is this, the physical store of the Czech American beer importer, really an exciting place to have around / visit - as they get Tree House and Trillium frequently for example, fairly fresh too technically. A sizeable place, but without many places to sit at at first glance. Wonder what it's like with less strict rules, but hm, it didn't seem like a place one sticks around at first experience. The young lady behind the counter knows her stuff and was quick to point out they got a fresh shipment of aforementioned hype breweries, so I got a 1 month old Julius, hah. Some 7-8 fridges filled with a huge variety of American beer, mostly in cans. 1 tap too, but didn't partake. There's some macro stuff, I guess with expats requesting it, but it's a wild assortment really, breweries that don't even have that big of a name. Fairly sure I could get a few state ticks (like Rhode Island, though I wasn't paying 310kč for a can of a kettle sour...). Prices are... hm. It definitely depends on whom they get stuff from - but, say, hype brewery haze that is Julius was cheaper than random brewery pale ales and kettle sours. Nearly everything is expensive as expected, though some stuff seems okay for the price, some is just weird. But hey, still better than American prices in Scandinavia I guess? For a rabid ticker, especially since they get one-offs and specials as well it's so damn easy to overspend - it's an expensive commodity to begin with. I doubt I'll be hitting this that often unless I get 3 more people for a tasting group and to split the costs. Anywho, an excellent store. The only qualm is that the 1mo Julius was in a slightly worse shape than expected for 1mo - like the shipping wasn't ideal perhaps, dunno. I'll probably concentrate on the less hop-driven stuff I guess. How to get here:1, 8, 12, 25, 26 to Letenské náměstí or Kamenická depending on where you're coming from. In the latter case take the eponymous street right to Veletržní, cross the street, and it'll be a bit to the left. From Letenské náměstí, be sure you cross Veletržní immediately to the north side (and follow it "right"/east) - if you don't, you'll have to either jaywalk (heh) or circle around, no crossings until after it.“

54 /100 HUSOVA 232/10, PRAHA 1 - STARÉ MĚSTO
“Kilka piw, ceny raczej wysokie. Obsługa w porządku, ale nie mogę zrozumieć, dlaczego przy stolikach mogli siedzieć tylko jedzący? Tych nie było, więc stoliki puste, a wszyscy się tłoczą przy barze...“

62 /100 VINOHRADSKÁ 988/62, PRAHA 3 - ŽIŽKOV
“Niewątpliwie wybór piw robi wrażenie, ceny niektórych też. To jeden z droższych lokali w którym byłem i chyba najdroższy "mój" w Czechach. Większość klienteli to cudzoziemcy, więc obsługa mówi do każdego po angielsku, nawet jeśli on sam używa czeskiego. Mnie się średnio podobało.“

70 /100 PŘEMYSLOVSKÁ 1660/35, PRAHA 3 - ŽIŽKOV
“How to get here: Take the 11 or 13 tram to Radhošťská, turn left/north into Baranova, it'll be there in front of you at the next intersection. Or take the metro to Flora, exit through the shopping mall to the left and take the Přemyslovská street for 2 blocks. A part of the same Černokostelecký pivovar-related chain as cult places like U Slovanské lípy, U Šumavy and U Vodoucha (all of which are a fair bit less impressive now than they used to be beer selection-wise), it's a slightly more modern twist on their concept - more modern food I guess, more modern decorations. 8 active taps - 3 of their own, the 10° was quite good and a tick (the 12° I liked slightly less). Sadly, they ran out of Zvíkov's Best Bitter. They had stuff like a Sibeeria special (Hazy Drill), I think Bacchus Framboise and some more other non-ticks for me. Okay enough. No issues with service, friendly enough, but I did speak Czech. The food is modern as I've said, okay prices, but nothing enticed me to order it - but I did plan to eat at Beergeek later. All in all, not a bad spot, worth a visit if you're in the area, you might get some ticks, just not a top-tier place for the town.“

64 /100 OPLETALOVA 1597/24, PRAHA 1 - NOVÉ MěSTO
“The closest RB place to the main train station... which is the reason why I ended up visiting it having 1:30h to waste. Walking up to it, I was actually shocked that it's no longer a Ferdinand place - a Lobkowicz sign is by the door now. And indeed, as I walked down in the fairly modern basement-and-first floor place, the 5 taps were indeed largely taken by Pivovary Lobkowicz beers - 2x Lobkowicz I think (the Premium Lager and something), Klášter 11° and some Černá Hora I think. The only remnant of Ferdinand is the classic Sedm Kulí. Being tired and hungover my Czech died for enough of a second for the bartender to readily switch to good English and start pouring me the Premium Lager. Kay-o, haven't had it in a long while, and since no beer there's a tick... Proved to be quite drinkable, if vaguely flawed - as expected. The place's basement was full, mostly locals, and I'd guess the food is likely good, but I had no time nor will to go for something. The price for the beer was okay I think, something like 42 for 0.5l, not great for Lobkowicz, not the worst, especially for this part of town. I guess the beers will be in better shape than when you find them for cheap in supermarkets. And Sedm Kulí is a very decent choice anyway. Dunno, probably better if you go to eat, unless you're new to CZ you might not find any ticks - but if you are, and/or are based nearby and/or have time to waste with the other better places around being closed, maybe go for it, dunno. It's far from a bad place.“

“A lovely brewpub in a pretty setting. Seems like you are further away from the city than you actually are such is the relative tranquility in the area. The pub is traditionally furnished yet modern and clean. The brewery is visible through a window in the brewpub. Great beers, really fresh and the staff seem friendly. The food was good and everything was good value. A top place.“

“About at the south end of Vaclavske Namesti. Special system: one buys a beer-card for 300czk, and if you don't use the whole amount on burger and beers, you get in return what's left on the card. 1 dl costs 13-20czk or up, depending on type of beer. Big pad on each draught, with picture of the bottled version. That means you can do your own mini beer festival if you want. Interesting place.“

“New location is also in a busy street, Jecna. Small room(s), vintage fly marketish furniture. Beer range is more on micro breweries now. Many bottles, cans and a dozen taps. So, for a ratebeerian, sure a place to find something new. I had a Stěhovák 12°, because kraska blondynka had it on her black t-shirt. Opening hours are mon-fri 15-24. Otevírací doba Po-Pá 15:00 - 00:00 So a Ne ZAVŘENO“

Wooden furniture is tan brown, gives the restaurant a light athmosphere. Good kitchen. If you're nearby and hungry, it's worth visiting. Budvar beers of course, it is Budvarka.“

Fascinating that young people are attracted by these old fashion game machines, thought many of them with new colourful designs and techniques.
