Visited this pub with some friends on two occasions over the Easter weekend and I have to say what a superb pub its is. On arrival the barman allocated us some space and immediately served us with a beer and we stayed for a number of hours soaking up the atmosphere. We were so impressed that we booked a table... More

To call the service abrupt is to give them a bit of credit. We visited in the midst of tourist season and the experience reminded me of the Soup Nazi episode from Seinfeld. As other reviewers mention, the tables are not available for visitors after a certain hour ... fairly early like 6pm or 7pm. We arrived AFTER that time... More

Just spent a few days in Prague, we were advised of this pub by both the taxi driver and hotel staff. We stayed 5 minutes and it was 5 minutes too long. The staff are rude beyond belief and just push you out of the way. They make it evidently clear you are not welcome and bark instructions at you... More

We were keen to see this historic bar and it was recommended by our hotel, so we went at about 8pm for a drink. It was very busy and we couldn't get a seat, and the waiters ignored us, so we left and returned at 10.30. When we came back, the barman waved his hand dismissively at us and barked... More

We couldn't even get in...a man walked up to us and shouted "Closed!" to us before we had even stepped through the door. We had been warned by the receptionist in the hotel that they were rude, but thought it was worth a try just to try the beer. More

It's a cliché: everyone says U Zlatého Tygra has the best Pilsner in Prague. But some clichés are based on fact, and this is one of them. The atmosphere is something to be experienced; don't go there expecting to have a quiet pint. You'll have to sit with a bunch of people who you don't know but they'll be willing... More

Where to start with this legendary pub?! As all the guide books tell you it is the place Vaclav Havel took Bill Clinton to get a taste of a real Czech pub when he was on a state visit to Prague back in the 90s. That aside all you really need to know is that it serves the best Pilsner... More

U zlatého tygra - Braved the wikitravel warnings of "mean-looking Czechs that look like they would rather shake you than share a table" for the Pilsen 12° - to say Na zdravi where Václav Havel (he would know his Pilsner, having worked in a brewery after the Prague Spring) introduced Bill Clinton to Bohumil Hrabal at the latter's favourite watering...

Tables are reserved from a certain time but get here early (it opens at 3pm), and you may get a couple of hours seating before you've got to get gone. We sat next to the table of locals who had their own, highly polished, brass "reserved" marker. They were giving us dirty looks. My girlfriend had the nerve to request... More
