Description	Central Ostrava offers a true variety of venues, but not that many of them fall into this category. It took a couple of visits to really get it. At first glance it’s a Radegast pub that’s a convenient bolthole for a quick pint. Returning, you can also pick up on some of its rhythms and service better and we appreciated the surroundings more too. A relatively small pub up some stairs after the entrance. The bar room and small side-room is about all you get. Personalised with insignia from local sporting teams and city heritage, it isn’t a plain venue either. It is clearly a locals place, and lunch service offers a canteen like rush of people in and out in the space of 30-40 minutes, around which the locals slowly sup their beer and watch the TV.Service is friendly and although you may be given a second glance as a newcomer, if you’re polite you won’t be mistreated. The lunch menu and beer prices are very good for central Ostrava, and worth noting for anyone on a budget. The main beer here is Radegast. The 12, if treated correctly is a pleasant light lager and it has become something of an emblem for this part of the country, Moravia-Silesia. Many of Ostrava’s better venues don’t open up until mid-afternoon at the earliest, so the presence of this place offers a practical choice for those seeking a lunchtime pint in a cosy, low-key, but quietly endearing, effective venue.  (Added November 2024)
