U Slovanské Lípy

Top choice in Prague


A classic Žižkov pub, plain and unassuming in and out, ‘At the Linden Trees’ (the linden is a Czech national emblem) is something of a place of pilgrimage for beer lovers. The reason is its range of artisan brews from all over the country. This can include anything from Krušnohor from the remote northwest, to Benedikt from Prague's Břevnov Monastery.
