Wandered in here thinking it was Mosquito, to be honest. But was a comfy enough place to warm up and have a couple of Czech pints. In winter it was a very locals kind of place, though it is in the heart of the city. Nothing special going on but it was comfortable.

Newly opened place in Split, one that I hoped will change the beer scene. 4 Beers on the tap which is more than usual, few other beers in bottle. Very common Czech beers, nothin that can’t be found elsewhere, they even market the best prices but it’s not the truth. I had coffee and they managed to fuck up the order. Acted like it’s ok, but waiter was so polite that barely answered on my question about new beers and walked away. He was very busy because, I guess Marko and me were practically the only guests. They will get house beer, but later I asked which he also didn’t know which beer would it be, but at least attitude is good, answer was: "Of course, it will be Mali Flek beer, pale and dark".

Not a beer place at all, go 50 m to the west through a small passage to find more interesting selection of beers, some 25+ in few bars. I wouldn’t bother even mentioning this place here, nor recommending it. May be worth only for future house beer, but almost every bar in the center has better selection.

Oooh, a Czech-style pub opening in Split, named after a famous brewpub in Prague where Croatia’s favorite football team, Hajduk Split, was founded, that promises to carry 2 of their own beers? A poster claiming they carry a "select choice" (heh) of Czech beers? Brilliant on paper. The reality is, however, slightly different.

Located in the Ghetto, a part of Diocletian’s palace, it’s certainly "easy to reach" (enter through the "Golden gate" and turn immediately left + 30 seconds walk), and it’s slightly more spacious on the inside than expected. Various Czech (and Hajduk if I remember correctly) paraphernalia on the walls, but it’s slightly too "modern"/neutral otherwise. They don’t actually carry "their" beers yet - they’ll be produced in Czech Republic, probably a relabel of some boring macro. They have Pilsner Urquell, Gambrinus and Kozel on tap and in bottles, with 2-3 completely ordinary Czech regular imports in bottle too, along with, if I remember correctly Vukovarsko, that recently debuted in Split and nothing else. The prices seem to be ok on first sight, but the beers are slightly overpriced (or are they?). You can get the coffee & Pepsi combo for the price you’d generally pay for coffee in some parts of the town center, which is a plus. The service seems slightly confused, but I guess they are ok. They have wifi (yaaay!). This used to be an overpriced Irish Pub, now they took a shot at another type of pub, hopefully more successfully. The selection is boring right now, and while it definitely doesn’t have the charm and the selection of Kantun and Mosquito (which should be on RB soon), I guess I’ll return and, when everything goes in full swing, rerate. It might not be fair to judge them too harshly since they’ve just opened. If they show signs of progress, this might end up being an ok place, but if they stay like this... the entry might get removed from the site.
