| EBG Rating: | 9.1/10 |
| Choice/ Quality of Drinks | ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Surprisingly decent, with two independent small brewed Czech beers on tap and a host of hard liquor in the back bar. |
| Style/ Décor | ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Somewhere between the grimiest dive bar imaginable and a basement squat. This makes it sound squalid, and it sort of is. However the premises, including old doors and signage have been maintained which gives it an air of history and significance. A former laundry, apparently. Yellow walls. |
| Atmosphere/ Character | ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ A smokey, grungey but vibrant bar that feels clandestine and yet welcoming. There are no airs and graces here, while it is also a totally love or hate it place. |
| Amenities/ Events | ❤️❤️ Pool table, smoking, snacks |
| Value For Money | ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Good |
| Description | This basement bar is truly a cult classic for Brno, around for donkey’s years and no-one can remember it ever being anything other than a scuzzy drop-out joint, but in the best possible way. A former laundry, the signage and original doorways remain in place, for a while it still offered to carry out laundry services while you waited for a beer. Why you would do that in such a smoky room is anyone’s guess. The yellow walls are a true throwback to the smoking joints of pre-ban days and a young crowd of anyone from bohemians to borderline vagrants makes a beeline for this place. There is much to love, from the steam heater kicking out warm into the main room, the fuzzy surroundings, haze of smoke and terrific beer on offer. Come home reeking but having had a cracking night out. (added October 2021) |
