Character
❤️❤️❤️❤️
When they say a true locals pub, they don’t come any more local than this one. No tourists are going here, and even a lot of the local neighbourhood aren’t. This is a true informal, smokey, grimy hangout that looks to have been parachuted in from the 1990s.

Pizza, snacks, pool table, TV, darts, occasional live music
Value For Money❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Superb value and one of the cheaper prices in the whole city.
DescriptionA local’s local, trust us, there are no tourists choosing to come to Pankrac in order to visit this pub. Tucked around the corner on a sliproad by a motorway, you only visit here if you know it in advance. The outside has an overly dramatic red Krusovice signage which is at least eye-catching. Enter to find a blast-from-the-past taproom with old geezers smoking and hollering at the TV, pool being played in the main room and very occasionally live music in the lounge. It’s not a hostile place, although you may find it intimidating at first, the service is kind and the locals won’t are not hostile. As you’d expect with a ‘pajzl’ of this kind, the prices are dirt cheap, but like U Prasivky, there’s a nice surprise in store with a tap set aside for a rotating offer of specialist beers. This is a way of extending an olive branch to the next generation and secure the business’ long term future – however, word is yet to spread about it. So, in a strange way, if you visit here you’ll be ahead of the curve. (Added November 2023)
