[...] The wheat ale was Belgian style and utterly delicious. Again, the freshness and condition was outstanding. The dark lager was also of a superior quality, as good as the wonderful Bernard Dark, with a besutiful balance of treacle and bitterness. It might almost be as good as U Fleku. [...]

Ooh, now there’s a difficult one. If you remember it being wonderful, I’d be tempted to urge you not to go back and ruin your memories… then again, the beer was pretty special.

I visited U Fleku in 1986. Prague was a very different place indeed at that time and I came away thinking that yes, it probably was the best pub in the world. Certainly amongst the best beer I had ever drunk at the time. It was the only place in town where we came across any other tourists – a group of East German bikers. The atmosphere was relaxed, the barstaff as incredulous there as everywhere else we visited that English-speaking tourists were in the house. Even the band in the courtyard seemed completely genuine. For years it was my number one most desired foreign bar to re-visit. Then I started hearing it had become a total tourist trap and I stayed away on two subsequent visits to Prague. I’m planning to go back next summer though, and I think your review has done enough to put the place back on my itinerary – well, the bit about the beer being absolutely gorgeous has anyway.

The waiters really are buggers in that place.

I loved the beer too. It went great with the goulash I ordered. Funny thing is there was a man with his obviously under age son sitting next to us, but the waiters continued to fire glasses of beer in front of the boy despite the father’s remonstrations. They just want to sell, sell sell.

Ya que nadie se ha hecho cargo y pecando de mucha falta de originalidad, la invitación ha sido hecha para "La Ronda #7" Na Zdraví!

My Favourite in Prague is;
Restaurant Kolkovna
V Kolkovn? 8
110 00 Praha 1

It’s an original Pilsner Urquell restaurant in an old mailing room with a beer hall in the celler. They have the best pork knuckle I have every experienced.

For a brief moment your thread title made me think of E-ranu or U-vavu (hyphens are my own), a la shooting stars. Sorry, I’ve been drinking
