Description:
Celnice is a stylish nightclub and restaurant and is one of the swankiest spots in town. Owned by Pilsner Brewery, the club's upstairs restaurant specializes in delicious Czech cuisine like Roast Rabbit or Pork Knuckle. The pastas and salads are great, too. The most alluring feature of Celnice is the downstairs club. With the buzzing crowd, curvy centerpiece counter, as well as the ultra-hip tunes blasting in the background, it's easy to tell that this is one of the coolest hotspots in Prague.

Description:
Located in an area littered with sub-par Czech restaurants, Tlustá Kachna gives traditional Czech food the time it needs to make it scrumptious and delicious. You'll find all Czech favorites on the menu, including its namesake, crispy roast duck. The well-priced dishes are, as Czech food should be, warm, inviting, and simple, as is the décor. True to the cuisine, meat and potatoes dominate the menu but vegetarians aren't left out in the cold. When it comes to Czech food in the center, Tlustá Kachna is your best bet for a traditional and satisfying meal.

Description:
Steeped in history, this quaint restaurant has been serving guests since 1779. The traditional fare may well make you change your mind about Czech cuisine paling in comparison to others in Europe. Sample the Czech-style roast pheasant with goose liver or roast quail with almond stuffing in a quiet, cozy atmosphere, surrounded by Czech antiques, chandeliers and posh furniture. Be sure to venture down to the low-ceilinged wine cellar to chose a Czech vintage or else, if you are on a beer kick, you wont go wrong with a couple of the original pilsners. The fruit dumplings and palacinky (Czech pancakes) with ice cream and marmalade will pleasantly round off your dining experience.

Description:
This popular historic pub, with a capacity for 1,200 people, was founded in 1499. The beer is brewed on site and a visit to the brewery part of the building is a must, as is a visit to the brewery museum. There is live traditional Czech music every evening and cabaret programmes are often arranged. During the summer months, there is a beer garden which can be used. This is a an excellent place to come to experience Czech tradition, style, music and service - as long as you can put up with the crowds of tourists making a racket. While you're there, check out the brewery museum, gallery, and cabaret.

Description:
Walking into U Sadu is like walking into a junk shop. Relics from the communist-era litter the place. Fascination with the bizarre decor or the prospect of sitting in the summer patio out front might keep you upstairs, but keep in mind that billiards and access to the summer beer garden await below. At U Sadu, you can enjoy beer after beer without having to hunt down a waitress (even if that also means without a smile from the waitress) and have a hearty Czech meal off their eclectic menu. This completely enjoyable, authentic Czech experience is one you shouldn't pass up, especially if you're visiting the TV Tower just down the street.
