Prague Bars

As with most northern Europeans, the Czechs take their drinking seriously and some of the best beers come out of the Republic. It's not difficult to end up drinking the local ‘Pivo' [beer] from dusk until dawn in one of the local clubs or bars in Prague. With cobbled streets, winding alleys and a mass of spires many of the bars are hidden away hidden away beneath large gothic townhouses and if you want to keep going, you'll always find somewhere open. Prague bars & pubs range from trendy shot bars to log fired drinking inns. Drinking in Prague is a real exeprience.
