I just don't know how to thank you guys for every bit of info you shared here. I'm sitting right now in U Zlateho Slona waiting for my food on a third day of my solo trip in Prague. And each moment I roaming around I just know that I have a good place to eat or just to rest, because you shared this. And I see the difference between the touristy places nearby and the places you suggest - knowing those places from perpectove of a local is so valuable and so much valuable to have it as a tourist. Thank you again ❤️
I am a 55 years old german. I am going to Prague for some beers for about 35 years now. At least once a year, sometimes twice. I can confirm that Pilsner Urquell IS THE BEST BEER IN THE WORLD. Even at home I'm drinking almost entirely Pilsner Urquell (in bottles of course).
By the way, my favourite pubs over the years have been/are the U Fleku (specially in the 80s when 0,5L cost 2,40 CZK ;-) ), U Tomas and U Snellu (Kleinseite, mala strana), U Dvou koček (which you have forgotten to mention as a zoo pub) and U Kalicha (Svejks pub).
I shall not challenge your statement on Pilsner Urquell but next time U cross borders travel therough Loket (Elbogen) near Karslbad and try local brewery Svatý Florián (St. Florian). ;)
I went to the Pilsner Urquell Brewery in Pilzn last month and drinking it there I have to say is hard to dispute this man’s opinion. Although, Bavaria does have some fantastic beers as well.
@@andrewsouza4925 For me, as a northern German, the Bavarian beers are far too light and too mild (too less hop).
@@juliettpapa A Bavarian brewer, Josef Groll, created Pilsner Urquell. Beer heaven for me is Bavarian and the Czech Republic-though I understand North Germans simply don’t like Bavarians or their beer.
Yup, U Fleku has good food but most importantly that dark beer is SERIOUSLY good, not to mention the entire place is very impressive looking
Fantastic video, I love to see the old traditional pubs of Prague. I've never been to Prague, but it's a must visit for me after watching your videos. I'm a huge fan of Pilsner Urquell, there are a couple of pubs here in Ireland that do tank beers, Pilsner Urquell being one of them, but I'm certain it will taste so much better in Prague. Also the food looks amazing, the Goulash and potato pancakes looked amazing. Hope to visit Prague next year and thanks to you I now know where to go and how not to be scammed, keep up the great work !
Like you, I'm a big fan of Urquell. Golden Tiger is an old traditional pub - sadly full of tourists. Červený jelen is too big and not a proper a proper beer place in my book. But they serve theie Urquell in a proper way and have good food. Goulash is not my favorite - ok food when drinking. And the rest of the beer places mentioned in this video are very good. When you go to Prague you should try beer form other breweries. Here are the few I like Staropramen 11 from tank, Hubertus 11 from tank, Vinohradsky brewery and Andelsky brewery.
God Bless Praha, God Bless the great establishments and God Bless The Honest Guide. What a great video, I am going to visit these pubs on my Prague Zoo tour for sure now. Keep up the great work guys.
Díky! Ukázali jste nejlepší bary v Praze.
P. S. tento barman z baru "Behemoth" mi jednoho večera nelil pivo a řekl :
- Běž domů, už máš dost.
Pak jsem se urazil a šel do hotelu a ráno jsem si uvědomil, že má pravdu. Velký ahoj jemu !
P. P. S. obrovské množství Rusů proti válce ! Budeme držet, opravdu vyhraje! Jezdím do Prahy dvacet let a nikdy nezapomenu na toto krásné město a Čechy, nádherné , milé lidi. Dobrý Advent a veselé Vánoce všem
Happened to come across U Kocoura today on our first day in Prague, and recognised it from the video. We stopped in, and loved the beer, the atmosphere and the staff. Amazing! 🍻
Thanks for all this great content. We're visiting Prague in 2 weeks, can't wait to try some of your recommended eating and drinking spots.
3:55 I love you guys
Oh my god. My grandad used to go to this pub every day when he was a University student in Prague (Lichtenstein palace) in the 60s-70s. He always mentions it when talking about Prague. (Favourite story is watching the locals drink 20 beers everyday and stumble out)
It’s amazing to see it on the channel. 😅
Everything is about the hard working training. With drinking a beers here in Czech republic is the same :D
Thanks for your advice, I was two weeks ago in Prague and it was amazing. I will definitely go again
Perfect video! I'll definetely visit all of them
Thank you Janek for your enthusiasm and entertaining history. Hope to visit soon
Great video guys, and this definitely sounds like my kind of zoo.
lovely thank you! I will visit some of those when I am in Prague again!
So I couldn’t do the whole train but I did the following. Thanks for all the recommendations!
U kocoura- tasty klobasa and very friendly local patrons, I practiced my czech with a very friendly czech couple who may have been trying to find someone to pick up 😅
U černého vola - had good Olomouc cheese and seemed decently easy to get a seat if in a couple or 3.
U Hrocha - bartender refused to serve me because I was standing despite there being a dozen or so of older large drunk czech men all standing and being loud.
U Zlatého Tygra - was packed and I felt lucky to get a beer because the Barman looked a bit irritated so I did my best to just blend into a wall.
U Zlatého Slona - I would probably take tourist friends here. Open atmosphere, lots of seating, good food, and English speaking staff.

I am Ukrainian but I can kinda understand Czech and vol ≠ bull, as we call them воли are called ox in English, the animals are actually pretty difficult. And I know that no one cares.
You are correct.
I care, thanks Maksiks.
Yes, "vůl" is a castrated bull, and castrated bull is usually called "ox" in english.
I fondly remember U Fleků (1968, 1972). Sat at a table with some East Germans on one occasion, had a great time.
We visited U Fleků too, yes: touristy, noisy (live music and singing), still great to experience a family legend. I drank a beer in '18 at the very place my parents had one in '81.
Thanks so much! Its amaizing to see the places Ive been in this movie!
Enjoyed the zoo tour a lot.... Thanks
Great video!
Had some amazing Urquells at U Hrocha a couple of years ago, visiting from Sweden.
Was in Prague for 4 days...did spend 3 at that location 😁
That was one pub I did get too-I wanted to and went right by it but it was closed. The next time I get to Prague I’m going there.
I've just got back from a long weekend in prague I wish I saw this video before I arrived. I enjoyed my visit I'm planning to visit in spring
I was in Pilsen last summer and got to taste the unpasteurized variant straight from the brewery, absolutely amazing!
I remember I've visited other restaurants in Prague with names of animals: ostriches, lions e 3 cats. All fantastic too.
Great video. I wish I saw this a month ago before I went to Prague but I did go to most of those old pubs on this video. A couple of other great ones but not fitting the zoo theme are U Medivuku which has tank Budweiser Budvaf (Czech Budweiser not American) which is a great old school Prague pub and Tankova Kozel which is more modern but serves Kozel light and dark from the tank.
Actually, both would fit the zoo theme since U Medvídků means By The Little Bears' and Kozel is a male goat
Great channel! Subscribed
Diki Janek & Honza - If I end up going to any of these while in Prague in a few weeks, I'll be sure to say you guys sent me. Děkuji!
Oh how thirsty i got from watching this.
I love beer, but im interested to see if you would make a video about other interesting CZ beverages, with or without alcohol ? ♥
Just yesterday we were in Prague Zoo, but I've never heard of beer zoo. Have to try it with my beer buddy. Cheers
May I suggest you make a video with historic pubs that brew their own beer..no only Pilsner Urkell. We went to some lovely pubs that have been brewing their beer for centuries
Might be difficult with the sponsorship.
As much as I am happy that the long work has finally paid off for the guys financially, they should consider themselves “the sponsored guide.”
You are doing a great job... I'm in Prague now.. I would be happy if I see you in the middle of the street..
My favourite bar/restaurant in Prague is a little way out of the main tourist area on arbesovo namesti - it is called U svateho Filipa a Jakuba. Very traditional, old school type place with wooden tables and lots of hunting decorations on the walls. For something totally different but still good there is a bright modern place called Zlaty Klas further up towards the NH Prague Hotel on radlicka which is always busy and is more of a Sports Bar type environment.
Ah Bohumil Hrabal "Too loud a solitude"! I must visit this pub.
Great video. Next time i will be in Prague, i will have couple pints in each pub and probably will feel after Zoo Beer tour like animal myself :D
We ended up at the birthday party of Dva kohouti last summer. It was a highlight of our trip.
All classic Prague pubs The Golden Tiger serves the best PU in the city. Had some great sessions in there and the Black Ox. Two Roosters is also very good, spent a lot of time in there last summer!
I'll be there in July and have booked a beer tasting. Hope they bring me to some of these places.
Honzo, you should have started the Zoo Tour at U Veverky in Bubeneč!
Super Video. Most of the places I know for years and love them all. But at U cerneho Vola i would prefer the dark Kozel. Best tapped Dark Beer in Prague and an other member of the Zoo could be the u medvidku. Alttrough it is a hotel, they brew their own beer. Very tasty!
Pilsner Urquell is my favorite beer I can buy in a case where I live. Also not expensive at all, especially considering it's imported.
The Black Bull and Golden Tiger are my favorites in Prague.
You've reminded me of Santiago de Compostela (yes, the destination of the Way of St. James) where they had the "Paris-Dakar". It was just that there were these two pubs on the opposite sides of the "party area" (for the lack of a better expression) that were respectively named Paris and Dakar. There were absolutely no other pub, bar or whatever with a name related to that race, but the thing was you would start your night at Paris and should (is you could) go pub after pub until you reached Dakar.
Just like the real race, many wouldn't get to the destination. I only tried it once and got the destination with some friends, but the day after was a bit of a pain...
Been in Prague 3 weeks ago, and already miss the city
I unknowingly went into the Elephant and had the best food of my entire trip! So amazing!
Love your videos Janek and Honza
Not sure it is your thing but when I lived in Prague I met my Slovak wife in El Mojito on Dlhá. Great cocktail bar….try the Beverley Hills cocktail and tell them Steve and Jana recommend it to you. You will see our names on the top of the bar where they allow frequent visitors to write a message. ❤
Wonderful, but missed a lot of the “zoo”! Tlusta mys (fat mouse ) Cerny Orel (black eagle) U kohouta ( well, another rooster ) Flamingo lounge (touristy…) Modre kachnicky (blue duckling, a high end restaurant actually one of my favourites ) , and honourable mention to the long defunct žíznivý pes (thirsty dog )- and others that I have encountered on my various safaris!
The Elephant is a great pub with great food. The Hippopotamus, well it certainly is a fine pub with a real local feel but they have refused to serve me on a number of occasions for no apparent reason, but when I'm with my Czech friends there's never a problem., I'm not Czech and one would think this pub does not want tourists, that's just my perception.
Imagine if you were in London and a pub refused to serve you because you weren't British?
Pubs like this one should be embargoed.
It is not like that, once they did't want to serve myself and I am czech "jak poleno"
Frankly, I'd never go to this kind of places. "Locals", i.e. beer alcoholics, rude personal, no cards accepted? They can kiss my ass straight away. Trying to impose rules, instead of serving the client "they don't like small beer orders"? Fuck off. Paid cooperation, sure, but this video crosses the line, it is pure ad, not a useful info for a tourist.
Oh so sad to hear they are racist :(
I don't see the problem. I'm not Czech too, never been there but Im sure they wouldn't serve me too, I don't really care. Just don't go where they don't like tourists or foreigners. If they don't like them just let them do whatever, why would you want to be in a place you're not welcome and anyway it's their loss since most of the profit in service economy in Prague comes from tourist consumers.
Did a few of the ZOO.
GREAT!
Interestingly my cat (Kocour) is named after the writer: Bohumil Hrabal. Himself, a lover of cats
My mouth is watering at the sight of Czech beer and food
Please talk about Vinohradsky in some video. They make some of the best Pilsner in the world according to the beer enthusiasts, with a great combination of history and modern touch. And they are located very centrally in Prague.
Interesting! U Černého vola is actually noted as By the Black Eagle in some places, so until now I thought that was its name.
My wife and I went to the Elephant on our honeymoon. Specifically we went on January 5th, and were visited by the 3 Kings Themselves! Great recommendation!
Haven’t been to these places so will cover them all next time we visit!
Great helpful videos thank you. Any recommendations for live music venues {pubs} in Prague?
I've been in the Tiger a couple of times. Great bar.
Hi Honest Guide. Thanks for all the great videos! I was recently looking for your video that had the Czech word "Rooster" at the end. On our trip to Prague this year we've added a Canadian Kohut, and I was hoping to send him that clip. Did you take down that video or am I just not finding it?
I've been to the Golden Tiger, really good pub.
I miss 'U Černého Medvěda' among this list :) Best Pork knee I've ever had. Visit it every time I'm in Prague.
Good to be back
Great Initiative Your Govt Should Pay you for this work 👏 👍 👌
Was at U Černého vola 3 days ago 😄
Doing the ZOO pub crawl right this minute! Just checking in to see where to go next... The hippopotamus pub is a great one
Gotta say wasn't a fan of the Tiger place though, what miserable staff! All the others so far have been great though.
My favorite Czech beer is Novopacke Pivo Valdštejn. Once found&tasted it accidently in
Finland
Where can you find it in Prague? I’ve never seen it.
What about the “two cats”? U Dvou koček?? Loved it!
I really wanna visit Prague now.
Guys you missed U Medvídků (At the Bears), U Dvou koček (At Two Cats) and probably other places with similar names. It is true that U Medvídků does not have Plzeň, but apart from Budvar they've got many home made beers (Oldgott, Blackgott, Medvídek, X-BEER 33, Podzimní speciál etc). However, U Dvou koček has Plzeň on the menu together with their own home beer (Kočka světlá or Kočka tmavá). Both of these places are in the very city center of Prague.
I still very fondly remember the house-brewed beer at U Dvou koček, it was absolutely delicious, and the whole place smelled of the mash as the brewer was brewing a batch at the time.
It's budvar pub and it's a pilsner urquell video. Beer is good there aswell as upstairs in the brewery but food is very average
@@stefanmccurley5951 Please read the full message, I already mentioned that U Medvídků does not have Plzeň, but apart from Budvar they've got many home made beers: Oldgott, Blackgott, Medvídek, X-BEER 33, Podzimní speciál etc.
U Vejvodů 🍺
@@petervalko1233That's not an animal name 😊
I went to Cerveny Jelen and I sat right where you are sitting in this video
Janku, vůl je ox, nikoliv bull, to je býk :D
taky jsem si vsiml. a kocour je tomcat ;-)
@@KrystofKubes or puss
Awesome video guys! Can you perhaps tell me in which pubs can I get gluten-free beer ?
@HonestGuide any hints or Tips for a good butchers and or morning markets in Prague you can recommend? Also keep up the good work its always great to see a new Video from you Guys!!
Best Regards
For butchers, try “Naše Mašo”, in Dlouha, in old town (Stare Mesto)
They even have a couple of tables, so you can buy food in the butchers shop, they will cook it for you, and you can eat it in the shop
They even have a draft beer pump in one of their tiled walls.
Expect to queue, it’s very popular, their food is some of the best I have even eaten, and it’s very reasonably priced for the quality.
@@jeffpovey1182 Thank you for the tip thats actually not far from the place I am currently staying in might take a look in the upcoming days then to check them out
:)
By the black ox is my favourite. Kozel there is top.
2:20 I can confirm this after doing the opposite on a humid 30°C day
Yet another great video! I'm curious...would you guys ever be interested in exploring past crimes, almost as in cold case crimes that have happened in Prague but not been investigated?
Myslik? is a great bar if you happen to know it! It's very alternative/left leaning and has a wide range of beer of small breweries
03:19 been there last week, asked for a place for two in czech, ordered beer in czech etc. You could see that the waitress was thinking "why are they here", the guy at the tap served us, but you could clearly sense that they all wanted to stay among themselves.
I think I'll enjoy this video. But first let me grab a beer 🍺
you should make a list of places to go in google maps and then share the link of that list
I think "potatoe pancakes" are called "hash browns" - love to teach you a word once XD Love your videos and will visit prague very soon again.
Hey I've been following you guys for a while now and have a sorta weird question to ask. My grandpa just died a bit ago and we were interested in getting a curio with his fingerprint and a short phrase in Czech (their heritage is from the town of Veseli). Would you be able to help with this? I'm not sure if there is a big difference in dialects between regions, but we figured google translate wouldn't work too well. The phrase is "Forever and Always", or some similar meaning if that doesnt directly translate.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing back!

I was 'U Černého vola' for the first time in 2016, and then every time I visited Prague. The place is amazing, the food very good, the prices too. However, you have to watch out for the service - it's worth learning a few words of Czech, although they are not always nice anyway :D I'm a bit surprised that Janek and Honza are showing this pub, as the staff seemed to avoid tourists. Or maybe something has changed? :)
Loved Prague! We watched most of your videos before visiting Praha ♥️♥️♥️
Amazing video thank you
Chuchle 2022!
1:45 “They (black ox) only serve plzen” *immediately walks past blackboard advertising Kozel for sale*
Most places that serve Pilsner Urquell also sell Kozel cerny.
@@paisleybuddie5096 ???
@@drstkova Both Pilsner Urquell and Kozel are owed by Asahi and brewed at the same brewery in Pilsen.
@@jamestindall1 That is correct. How is it relevant to my comment?
Great! No 2 and 3 , the best ones! (Not an animal, but please support Hostinec u Rotundy, too!) Still, some even more interesting options in town, no need to mention here....
I'm excited to taste Pilsner Urquell in Prague, but it would be great to see pubs that carry locally produced craft beer as well! By craft beer, I don't necessarily mean American-style IPAs, I just mean small-batched locally made beer rather than large commercially produced beers.
Dva kohouti does have that, was definitely the best pub I went in for good beer. Can't get enough of Urquell though, especially when poured properly. Červeny jelen is probably my favourite overall.
My fave pub was Grow Bar
I also can recommend U Glaubice
We are every year there. One Beer from Tank is only 42Kr. This is round about 1,80€
A big portion Ribs ist about 16€ an it tastes very good
2:22 Best advice ever
The best Zoo tour ever.
Think the golden tiger was where I went first time in 2010. Looked uncomfortable but maybe that was me 😂
Golden Tiger is the one I frequent while staying in Prague. What do you think about other animalistic pubs? Like U Červeného páva; U Modré Kachničky (it's more of a restaurant) or U Černého orla.
I see lots of Poles visit 'U Kocoura' :) Ser smażony, frytki, sos tatarski... must be delicious!
České pivo mi chybí. Můžu koupit Pilsner Urquell tady v Kanadě ale to není stejně věc. Možná to je stejné pivo, ale to se cítí odlišně. Už myslím o další cestě do Česku. Na zdraví a uvidíme se příště!
Im about to visit Prague with my wife - she is a big fan of dark beers, stout etc. Can anyone please provide recommendations as to where to go for local brewed dark beers. Much appreciated
Dear Janek & Honza, 12 years ago I visited Prague a couple of times and I once ended up in a bar/pub with a very small stage for bands and they had little piglets walking around. Do you guys maybe know the name of the place? I would really like to go there again cause I will be in Prague from the 16th till 19th of February. Hope to hear from you!
I clicked on this certain that you would be visiting my favourite pub - U Medvíků (at the Bear). Next time maybe...
The zlaty Slon overcharged for Pilsen Urquell should be 63 czk but they charged 70 czk Best check price before
I live in Prague, after watching some of your videos, I visited restaurants which you recommended in the video. You know what? they increase lots of the price of their meals. I think because they become popular, don't mean their food are yummy or extremely delicious. Don't take it granted! business owners!
Damn. I whish I had seen this a few weeks earlier...
janek, I m coming to prague end of december and I would like to meet you in your favourite cafe
