42 /100 JIREČKOVA 1015/15, PRAHA 7 - LETNÁ
“Taproom for the Hangar brewery, furnished in a Czecho-Slovak mountain den style, where you expect the tables to be sticky from spilled over beer, although everything is actually neat and tidy. Slightly dodgy waitress, four beers on tap and I guess the guest ones (Zloun and Madcat) were better than both sub-par IPL's from Hangar, but I did not like this place enough to verify that. Only for the completist.“

64 /100 U AKADEMIE 366/11, PRAHA 7 - BUBENEČ
“Aptly named, as it has a strong alternative caffeteria vibe to it and seems to attract patrons who like standing out style-wise, in an aesthetically unpleasing way. Service was fine and a well curated playlist consisting of soft electronic music was a good choice indeed. The style selection of their brews proved to be more interesting than the beers themselves, although the desitka and stout were solid. Interesting place.“

72 /100 BUBENEČSKÁ 321/33, PRAHA 6 - BUBENEČ
“Small brewery cum taproom slightly off the beaten track - although nowadays you will find some gems in the near vicinity, Automat Matuska being the most ilustrious one. Anyway, I found the atmosphere to be tilted towards a caffeteria vibe, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, unless you are looking for something explicitely beery. Oh, the atmosphere was somewhat marred by a a loudly farting Slovak sitting at a nearby table, though I just guess to happen to come across very strange people during my travels. Beer-wise it is not a stellar place but their S-Lager and especially the ultra light yet flavourful Osmička are worth it. Overall a likeable place.“

54 /100 JANKOVCOVA 12, PRAHA 7 - HOLEŠOVICE
“Fast luxury cars parked in front of the brewpub; steroid-infused bald guys in button down shirts talking before the entrance; a very spacious interior that must cost a lot to uphold but almost empty on a warm spring night. That combination looks veeery suspicious for a seasoned Eastern European. The staff was nice and the interior quite aesthetic but the beers sadly rather mediocre. If my impression was correct, beer does not seem to be the main point of this venue though.“

74 /100 BULOVKA 17, PRAHA 8 - LIBEŇ
“This is local as it gets in Prague. Only locals present when I was there. Crowded, loud, authentic. One of the patrons wanted a pivo s sebou, so the waitress poured it into a mineral water petka she had just finished emptying. She was very friendly BTW but perhaps she just liked me. The beers were not stellar but the tmave and weizen were good. And all of the beers had at least a slight amount of diacetyl in them, which was just fitting given the atmosphere. One of the most interesting beer places in Prague.“

52 /100 BUREŠOVA 1661/2, PRAHA 8 - KOBYLISY
“Visited in 2022 and frankly, I have to revisit due to the condition of the beers. The brewery itself is conveniently located next to a metro station. Surrounded by all sorts of square shaped buildings, it fills the ground level of a communist era rectangular building itself. Let's say that the surrounding is dodgy enough (I mean the people, not the aesthetics) to make me even more happy regarding the vicinity of the metro station. The inside is neat and modern, steel and wood style, they have a patio along the walls of the building and the staff was both nice and efficient. However I happened to visit during the times of plague and I do not mean THAT plague but a chlorophenolic infection that seemed to have gotten hold of almost all beers on tap. I've heard many voices praising their beers, so I guess I have to try this brewery out again in the near future.“

72 /100 KOLBENOVA 438/7, PRAHA 9 - VYSOČANY
“This is a brewery without a taproom, so think twice if the detour is worth it. With that being said it was worth it in my case, since I met Michal, who happened to be a talkative guy and showed me around the premises. It's a craft brewery, so nothing big, but then again - for a Czech craft brewery they are still impressively big. Got hold of a bunch of their canned stuff from the fridge at considerably better prices than elsewhere.“

82 /100 SOKOLOVSKÁ 81/55, PRAHA 8 - KARLÍN
“One of my favourite places in Prague, mainly due to its lively, energetic, pre-party vibe. Huge patio with the inner area also not bieng exactly small. The brewing equipment is neatly on display, service is quick and efficient and the Mistni Pivo is one of the best brewed in Prague. A formidable part of the taps are equipped with beers from outside (if Matuska can be even treated as an outside brewery in the case of DK) and the tap list is usually well curated. Great place.“

“Far away from the center of Prague, even more than its H1 predecessor. Modern, nicely furbished place with disinterested staff and a beer offer mirroring that of H1 for the most part, so apart from 1-2 pilsners nothing to go out of the way for. As for the atmosphere I liked the H1 more.“

62 /100 LOCHOTÍNSKÁ 656, PRAHA 15 - HORNÍ MĚCHOLUPY
“Modern place located in Prague's outer realms. Spacious, with an equally spacious garden area. Food looked good though the hermelin was too fresh (as is sadly customary in Czech restaurants). Waiting was a bit... melancholic, I'd say. As for the beers, it was so-so with the Svetla 13 definitely standing out and imported beer styles rendered rather unconvincingly.“

76 /100 U TOVÁREN 999/31, 102 00 - HOSTIVAŘ
“Visited during an open day when they also served warm food. The place is not a typical brewpub, rather a regular (smallish) brewery that pours some of its stuff on site. With that being said, the plqace has that neat family/neighbourhood brewery vibe which I liked very much. Friendly owner and absolutely stellar pils.“

“Visited 19.08.24. Six Czech pilsners and three specils of other styles on tap. Mostly Czech punters at my visit, despite the bar being close to the tourist centre. Industrial style interior. Tall tables on the outside. All Norwegian speaking people will understand why I had to nick a coaster with the bar name.“

“How on Earth did I not rate this before? Suspecting foul play hahahah. Anyway, Sibeeria Tap Room, exactly what it says it is, has opened in January of this year, born at least partly out of realization that Beergeek really wasn't one - you could find Sibeeria's beers elsewhere more readily than you could at the BGB, so they wanted a place where you could do exactly that. Located conveniently at Soukenická, boosting Nalévárna's fantastic and cheap lagers and Gulden Draak's Belgians with an assortment of modern craft beers from one of the best breweries in the country, making it one of the most attractive 2/3 (mostly 2) stop streets in Prague in terms of variety and quality. A modern, quaintly decorated, light upper floor with not the biggest amount of seating spots, but usually plentiful enough, and a dark, misty, red, "night clubbish" basement floor, usually open for events, with its own taps (I got some fun pictures of some big names from the scene on opening night there, lemme tell you that :D). Anyway, the upper floor carries 12 taps of Sibeeria-brewed beers (or others' collabs with Sibeeria), one of their smoothie sours in a slushie machine, and, for whatever reason, an Oud Beersel bag-in-box lambic (well, Sibeeria isn't brewing one of those any time soon, so for the variety I guess), along with a good amount of beers in the fridge. All of that makes it pretty easy to catch ticks you've missed. Though, if this is the only place in town you found NEIPAs in town, you reeeeeaally haven't done your homework (even for the centermost city center). :D The staff... ah... They were all new when it opened, with Kuba from BGB (well, since recently formerly-of that as well) saving the day all by himself by being a rock of competence and experience that night, but most of the time, it was someone without as much experience behind the bar since to put it mildly for a while. They have learned, however, and I've run into some people who knew beer fine since then, I'd say, so a tentative 8 there. The food is the same as in BGB - tasty wings, great fries, recommended if you're up for something like that. All in all, when in Prague, the Nalévárna is an absolute must-visit, so you'll be, if you're smart, in Soukenicka anyway, making this place unmissable as well in combination. Hope it grows!“

72 /100 LIDICKÁ 653/25, PRAHA 5 - SMÍCHOV
“A newly opened place, part of the Dim Sum Spot chain, this time a two-in-one (or one-in-two?) restaurant (Dim Sum Spot) at the corner and pub (Dim Sum Pub) next door, with a sizeable patio in the inside yard (vnitroblok in Czech). The insides look pretty modern, there was definitely some solid investment there. The pub has 8 taps, the restaurant seemingly 5 or so. Slightly hectic but generally friendlyish and very efficient service. The beer side is a collab between Bubeneč and Clock - 4 taps each in the pub. Some seasonal-looking beers, some regulars. Pretty decent shape, but they kept the Bubeneč prices which fit squarely into the Anděl area as well - something like 80 for a 0.4l. Not earth-shattering but slightly elevated than the norm around the town. As for the food, visited for a "Peruvian grill in bao bun" event, the price for a tasty little sandwich was fine (90?). Might try some dumplings next time. Anyway, solid place for ticks, conveniently next to or walking distance from a heap of other solid-but-slightly-expensive places in Lidická and around Anděl. How to get here: Very short walk down/up Lidická from the Zborovská tram stations (5,6,7,10,16,39), longer but extremely manageable from the Anděl metro, tram and bus stations.“

72 /100 U NIKOLAJKY 12, PRAHA 5 - SMÍCHOV
“To be fair, every quarter needs a place like Triko. It's tiny mashup between a store, but with focus on small producers and quality and a café/brunch bar, I certainly wish we had anything remotely similar in my neck of the woods. The insides are small, almost a bit cramped if someone's sitting in the center, and there's a tiny "patio" outside. The people working were friendly and helpful. As djoeye implied, they offer some sandwiches, tarts/pies and so on, with the menu expanding here and there when they have events. Had a very good flat white - with spiced coffee I'd say, though I didn't inquire into what it was. They appeared even to have a cask of negroni, hah. Anyway, you're reading this for the beer part, so let's not dawdle - there are two taps - Chroust's Jura and Matuška's California - so no rare whales, but two well-selected choices. The fridge has a solid assortment of cans - I had added this place ages ago when it was one of the rare few places to have Obora, now pretty ubiquitous, and it's still there. Unless I'm imagining things, the rest was stuff like Sibeeria, Zichovec, Clock and Thrills. So, again, well-selected in cans. The shelves, however, hid a rare sight (maybe even a gem, but I haven't had it yet), Cousins Cider - a regular and cherry version of that rare natural cider for 250 a pop. It's not on any rating sites, that's how uncommon it is. Meaning I need to return next week to get both bottles, damn. :D Anyway, a pretty cool place that means more to the locals than any visiting ticker (unless you want that rare cider tick). How to get here: -Yellow line metro to Anděl, take the exit towards the bus terminal, and exit towards your right. Go onwards and uphill on Ostrovského, sticking to the left side of the street for a few blocks (past the Lidl, the park etc.), and when it takes you left into U Santošky continue that way, crossing the street when you can but continuing onward, until you turn right into U Nikolajky. Bit "tricky" but hey, would be unnatural if public transport dropped you right in front of every place around, right?“

“From the ashes of Beergeek Anděl, BeerPeak rises. Anděl was somehow always BG's dead end - a concept that never fully took off, regardless of the actual selection and quality of the staff (the prices were bound to be higher in a BG store) by virtue of people not being to drink at the location. The other beer stores thrive on that - you not only go for a quick purchase, you stick around and have a few. Maybe buy a few more than you had initially planned. The group of eight friends who took over the location will try to counter that, it seems. Out of the two-room setup, only the front room is currently in use, and the white paintover is maybe slightly more inviting than the previous grays. I've given Ambiance a generous 4 for now, not to take things down. The guys were doing their best to be helpful, and were friendly, which is cool, and they are bound to know their beer, looking at the selection and the fact that they, well, created this. The selection is a solid "best of the best" (minus the rare/wild fancy stuff) cross of CZ modern craft, still to be expanded perhaps, but you get your Sibeerias, Zichovecs, Matuškas, Ravens, Nozibs, Clocks, Chorusts, Mazáks, Thrills, Oboras etc., with a few slightly unusual picks like Agent and some random foreign stuff. A pretty good stop to load on new specials from CZ craft breweries! So far so good, though it's a bit thin compared to some. The prices were, within the realm of reason, but far closer to BG levels than Base Camp levels, let's put it that way, which isn't much of a draw. Prague 5 does need a good beer store, and I hope these guys have their efforts pay off - but more efforts will be needed, though I'm pretty sure they are aware of that.“

“A tiny time capsule, located quite centrally but just outside of normal tourist haunts, still largely locals place. Tiny corner two-room bar, standing area as you enter with th Urquell-only tap (now 66czk for a big one!), older locals gravitating around the fine mustached gentleman who poured me a beer quickly, politely and efficiently. The room around the corner has some limited seating, love the table with 3 chairs looking towards the wall! Pub food available, no hermelín but there's pivní sýr and obatzda (!). Urquell in good shape really, as much as it's gone down recently. Butter almost in check. Very easy to down a few with friends. Can't rate high but I appreciate it!“

“This shop was relatively close to our hotel so I made the trek over. The inventory, all refrigerated, was half Czech beers and the remainder everywhere else. A fair number of Belgians in the second group and a scattering of the rest including a couple of American brews I recognized. The fellow minding the store picked a handful of domestic beers for me and I added a couple more interesting ones, prices were not bad.No must-haves but I’ll go home with a decent selection.“

Friendly staff and locals not intolerant of foreigners. All four beers I had were of exceptional quality as was my utopenec. Other good pubs nearby, good tram service a block away so worth the trek.“

“A cross between a beer bottle shop and a cafe. Several fridges of beers mainly Czech but a few German and Belgian too. Also in the fridges were very tempting deli snacks such as cheese, olives, cured meats etc. Also wines, pastries and coffees. Unfortunately was raining so everyone crowded in limited area inside including two mothers with prams turning the venue into a creche... Pity because beer wise quite good, I scored Pecky brewery, 1 of 5 on tap. They are yellow on Untappd so you can see whats on before making the trek here! Trams and buses stop nearby and is 2 stops from Zly Casy.“

Although I had already eaten the food looked good. 7 of their beers on tap, the 2 I tried were good but nothing special. I get the impression this brew pub is tied up with the two Hostivar brewpubs this side of town, may as well be Pivovar Hostivar H3 !! Could smell the malt so they definitely brew here! “

A new bus/tram stop (both directions) has been built right outside at which trams 20, 26 stop but even better the new 59 trolley bus to/from the airport!! So I often have my 1st/last beer here! Beers generally good quality like the traditional food. The weekday lunch specials go as late as 3pm. Even if you not flying it is worth a journey.“

“Another independent Prague cinema, in this case running pretty much continuously since 1940, that, for the last 15 years or so, also has a bar in the lobby, with a patio - as of course that's a thing here. The inside atmosphere is a bit subdued, but fine. Visited on a rainy afternoon, so had to be there, maybe the lights are a bit dim for my tastes, though this part of Holešovice leaning on Letna is pretty chill normally and the patio should be good. Totoro on the cute tap list, which has the n/a Bakalář, Jungberg's Kino Pivo 11°, tasty and brewed for independent cinemas (!), Raven's classic 12°, but also their Cryo Factor Cold IPA and Maracuja Sour - for pretty cheap (55 or 60 for a big lager is where Prague is now, but 70 and 80 for the cold IPA and passion fruit sour is great)! Quick, friendly service from the ladies behind the bar, nothing to complain or rave about. All in all, a good pit stop when in the area, even for ticks - and a place I'll probably go to again, to catch some English language projection.“

“The student bar of the Academy of Fine Arts. Funnily enough, they have a window out where you can get beer, but it's a messy student bar when you enter it properly (though with a patio), as it should be to be honest. The ladies behind the bar were friendly and did their job as efficient as possible I reckon. 3 beers - seemingly on random rotation, saw that they had stuff like Vinohradský, Obora, Švabín... had (sadly) a big Švabín 12°, which was 49CZK so won't complain in this economy. Yeah, hip hop was playing. Dunno, seemed like a place I would have patronized frequently if I was a student in Prague. Will you get ticks there? Probably not with the 2 lagers + Obora sour special, but you won't be ripped off I guess. It is what it is.“

“Well, huh, a sausage-driven bistro with 6 craft beer taps. Cute outsides, more like a charcuterie store, but the fridges host some pretty special beers as well, and so random - Beak, Bevog, some fancy stuff I didn't note... Friendly, efficient service. The taps had The Garden Milkshake IPA, maybe the first time I've seen a non-event-related Croatian beer on a Prague tap? Who knows, but that was cute. The rest was stuff like Maisel's Weisse and some non-ticks, for okay prices, but the Hradecký Klenot Summer NEIPA, my only tick, was something over 100czk for 0.4l which is insane. The others were more okay, but nothing I'd rave about. Got the fries which advertised being with cheese and chorizo - got some really nice fries, covered by 2 thin chorizo cuts grilled and cut in half (?!), with ketchup and liquid cheese on the side. Still thinking if it's fair for 115, but I guess one can find worse fries for too much around Prague so it's fairish, and the stuff was tasty overall! The rest is around 220 (9€+) and I haven't seen anyone else eating when I was there, so can't gauge how it looks normally. Anyway, it seems that they have a very eclectic assortment of beers normally and I just ran into a slightly less interesting one for me. The prices won't make me run back, but I can respect the place.“

70 /100 VÝSTAVIŠTĚ 415, PRAHA 7 - BUBENEČ
“Prague's newest brewpub as of todayish! Kolkovna's a chain of restaurants found around Prague, usually peddling Prazdroj stuff with ostensibly interesting food (rarely, if ever partaken, so won't judge), and they decided to open a brewpub, which makes sense, maybe to lower their dependence on Asahi, maybe because they could. I remember another brewery project at Výstaviště Holešovice, Prague's exhibition ground, and this might have actually taken its torch, probably lost during COVID-19. Anywho, regardless of its origin, we have a nice new brewpub in a nice old building with a solid patio around (even an extra bar on the patio). The insides were empty on this grey, randomly showerish Sahara sand-driven day, but the service, though still probably bit getting ready and a bit confused, served me immediately. They have 7 taps - 4 regulars, one seasonal, Urquell (because of course) and Birell. They have a tasting board for 119 (5x0.15) which is excellent value, though most of the stuff was a bit warm for reasons outside of their control I guess when I got them. Their pilsner is very good, which is the most important thing, their dark is probably solid enough, but the wheat, and especially Ale need some tweaking/QC (bit earthy, the first one, DMS in the second one), and the seasonal IPA was just a miss recipe-wise, even if it was good looking an clean. The food was a bit limited, but the options seemed okay - they will probably expand the selection eventually. It's a solid visit even in its awkward starting moments, and I'll be visiting it for seasonals I reckon! If nearby, visit it!“

FUZE Praha (Restaurant)
MASARYČKA, NA FLORENCI 2139/2, PRAHA 1 - NOVÉ MĚSTO
“Ah now this is a fun new addition to Prague's beer scene! Located at the ground floor of Zaha Hadid's beautiful Masaryčka building, FUZE is by itself beautiful or at least very much fun architecturally (check out the toilets!), and while it shows some copper as well, brewing still hasn't commenced. Zichovec, however is doing a pretty good job in the meantime with FUZE's extremely chuggable pale lager, interesting smoked polotmavé and solid dark lager. There are more beers - 3 Zichovec beers on tap (basic stuff + AF IPA), and Kasteel Rouge was there because of course. Solid overall! The staff was professional and friendly, helpful, props for that! The prices are slightly elevated but one can do far worse in the town center. Didn't eat there, yet, but will at some point - returning when they start brewing themselves! Still, it's a fun visit even now.“

50 /100 ÚJEZD 423/20, PRAHA 1 - MALÁ STRANA
“Well, about time I got to visiting this place, though it had for a reason been low on my to visit list - a hotel restaurant, fairly central, with a beer they claim they brew, but which is actually brewed by someone else entirely, higher prices. The restaurant bit is called "Czech Slovak Foodery" now, and modernized from before, though still bit vaulty and all, bunch of 2-4 people tables and a big higher table for a group. Quite small really, or so it seemed, one-room affair, with what seemed to be a cramped bar behind. The menu advertises one beer only - the Zlatý Kříž - the golden cross, named after the yellow (call it golden if very generous) cross above the entrance of the building. They still claim to brew it, obviously don't. But it's apparently the MMX Stout - and that's a pretty decent dry stout, didn't mind having one, even if it's 75CZK for probably 0.4l. Rare brewery tick for most, as MMX beers aren't easy to find (or are completely unavailable) in Prague, and you probably won't go to the brewpub, so yay. The staff was friendly, helpful to people inside, but I'm *not* a fan of staff egging me on for more beers after I've had one and asked for the bill, so an easy 8-9 dropped to a generous 7. Anyway, probably good for lunch, so I'm raising the overall slightly, and you should have a good experience here, but it just cannot score high on Ratebeer with 1 beer available (unless it was a world classic unavailable elsewhere in a fantastic, unique setting), unless they have a hidden beer selection that they don't advertise at all. Looking at rates coming from here - they don't. How to get here: Tram to Újezd. From the direction of the city center as it stands now - 9, 23 and 32 (go right at the intersection and you'll hit it), from the south (Anděl) - 9, 15, 20 23 (continue going forward and cross the street, it's gonna be to your right soon), from the north (dumping you in front of it) - 12, 15, 20.“
