Fred's Top Picks
My 'Top Picks' are those pubs I always make an effort to visit when I am in town.
Fred lives in Los Angeles but often travels to Prague.. You can follow him on twitter as @fredwaltman or read his twitter feed below
Note that we regularly update what constitutes a top pick so places can be relegated from the list if their beer range dips or there are other significant changes.
Imports and Czech beers. Food is some good chicken wings and some meat and cheese plates |  |
Tap room for the Hostomice brewery |  |
New brewpub. Beers now brewed in house but they still have guest beers. |  |
Food after 5pm. English menu now available. Cash only, no cards. |  |

Honorable Mention
These are pubs I very much enjoyed but they are just a hair below the level of a "Top Pick" or I need another visit or two to confirm that they are worth a "Top Pick."
Únětice 10° and 12º plus 9 rotating taps. The pub moved in late 2017 (not far from the original location). |  |
There are actually two drinking places in the monastery courtyard. The original Šenk which is a restaurant and the new Sypka (Granary) which is more of a tap room with limited food selection (weekdays from 2pm, weekends from 10am) |  |
Small, bare bones Pilsner Urquell pub. Said by some locals to have the freshest Urquell in town. |  |
Student pub near the Charles University botanical gardens. Beers are mostly from Kamenice. |  |
Originally listed as a taproom, they do have a small brewery on site. They claimed all the beers were brewed onsite. Connected to the Cistercian Monastery Osek |  |
Corner pub with good food and a good beer selection. Related to U Šumavy and U Vodoucha and all three are very similar. |  |
Same owners as U Vodoucha and U Slovanske Lipy and pretty much identical layout of the pub. More taps, though. |  |
Currently only one the three bars is open. |  |
