I don't know if it's the location in Mala Strana under the castle, the unassuming entrance way, or if it's because they have the best Pilsner in the city, but I love this pub.
The outside wall of the pub is gray with black lettering, nothing fancy by any means. You must go down a short hallway to enter the pub. Upon entering the pub you feel like you've walked back in time. From the ancient tables and chairs to the shiny brass taps THIS is a true Czech pub. You'll find it filled with old Czech men drinking beer from afternoon to close. You can grab a window seat and watch the less knowledgeable tourists float by. The atmosphere doesn't get much better than this.
The waitstaff appears to consist of an extremely friendly bartender and a single cook. If it's evening you may find two bartenders. You feel at home as soon as you sit down. They have wine, but if you're a male you will have a beer in front of you within seconds.
Regarding food, they have the usual pub fare (pickled cheese, klobasa, etc), but it looked excellent. Although, this isn't a pub you go to for dinner, this is a pub you go to for beer and god damn is it good. They have Tank Pilsner Urquell (known simply as pilsner). Pilsner tastes different all over the city and this pub has the best I've tasted (and I've tasted a LOT). It has a bitter start and a sweet finish. Just try it.
To sum up: It's a miracle this place isn't overrun with tourists. Get here while you still can.
