Kuře V Hodinkách

This rock music–themed pub is named after a 1972 album by Czech jazz-rock band Flamengo, which was banned by the communist authorities (it means ‘Chicken in the Watch’ – hey, it was the ’70s, psychedelic drugs and all that…). Decked out in rock memorabilia, and with a choice of buzzing street-level bar or more intimate brick-vaulted basement, it’s more upmarket than most Žižkov pubs and has a classy kitchen to match – the menu includes pasta with buttered sage and pecorino, tofu burgers, barbecued chicken wings in ginger and soy sauce, and a rich, dark and tasty goulash with bacon dumplings.
