Hmmh. Old couple and a beerstore. No Czech micro’s and most of the bottles were old/out of date. Limited hopening hours. Near Holosovice (1,5KM). Only bought 1 beer. Crappy and out of touch with the wave of Czech micro’s opening . .

Probably the best selection of bottled beer to buy in Prague. Two beers on in the tasting room usually from Czech Micros (One dark one light) that can be drunk while contemplating which bottles to take home. An essential visit when in Prague.

Tiny pub/bottle shop which can accomodate max. 25 persons, and serving 2 beers on the pub side. You really feel like you are drinking in the living room of the owner, with no music, which can feel quite awkward. Don’t expect to linger. In the shop side, they have a quite extensive beer selection, mostly czech.

Avoid this. Decent selection of macros, at OK prices. But most of the beers are more than a year past their sell by date. This is cheating their customers, and there is no excuse for this. They may be smiling and happy to put the beers in boxes - but their beers are not drinkable. Several years in bright light would kill off robust beers - not to mention pale lagers!

Nice selection of beers in the shop, very quiet atmosphere in the tasting room, where they serve only two draught beers. Friendly, helpful staff and reasonable prices. Didn’t check the freshness of the beers, but there’s no real point making your way out here if they really are past their best by date.

Very good beer selection; about 120 Czech and 70 rather standard Belgian and German beers. Cheaper than Galerie Piva near Charles Bridge. Bought 13 beers for 366Kč (14€). In backroom there was a Club PPG (local beer lovers society) meeting. We started a conversation with the owner about small Czech breweries that are standing up large multinational breweries. After few minutes he said: "You can’t talk to me while you’re thirsty" and brought us two glasses of Rohozec Skalák Světlý Speciál 13°, and after a while he served us beer schnapps (Pivovica). The owner (Petr) is genuin beer enthusiast and we really have enjoyed that hour spent with him.

small shop with a pretty decent selection. they had a lot of czech brews, a belgian section, and a german section. beers were priced relatively fairly (about 65Kc, or roughly $3-4 for a .33L bottle). i’ve seen some of these beers in the states for significantly more. just a runaround: orval, delirium, chimay, rochefort, kwak, unibroue, primator. just one 6x3ft shelf for the belgians and one for the germans. they also have a small section off to the side where you can taste (though i’ve never tried it). the czech beer section is the biggest (obviously), and those are all about 15-30Kc ($1-2). lots of brews from lesser known czech breweries. about 70% of the selection is czech. the owner was very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable, and he spoke decent english. it is a bit out of the way (take the 3 tram from downtown and it’ll get you about 2 blocks away), but definitely worth the trip. they have an okay selection of glassware, but nothing amazing (just your standard chimay glasses and crap, nothing rare). best bottle shop i’ve found so far in prague, so give it a try. UPDATE: spoke to the owner and he said a new shipment of belgians is due at the beginning of november...

Went here on our way home from Prague. It was closed... so we went to the great, modern restaurant further down the street (Pier 22, I think). Good food, friendly service, nice prices... well... Pivni Galerie opened in the meantime. Good parking facilities though you have to pay (a limited amount). Nice selection inside - lots of hard-to-get Czech beers as well as a decent Belgian selection (even some I’ve haven’t had). Bought home a few plastic bags. Fair prices. Service was more or less mute as they probably wondered what I was doing with my 4-5 sheets of paper inked up with lines and beer names.

Visited in 2006 to get bottles. Tried to visit 2008, but they were closed the two days we were able to get there. Nice selection of beers. Visited once more in May of 2009, got some beers. All the tables were reservedthis day.

Awesome selction of Czech bottles, and a quick look at the international selection it also looked pretty decent. The backroom with two taps of quality beers looked like there were quite a few locals visiting. It was just around the corner from my hotel, but it’s 200 metres from a tram stop and 2 kilometres from the Holesovice metro.
