Beer: Svijany (ležák 11, speciální 13, tmavé speciální 13 [dark], and Kvasničák nefiltrované 13) @ 21-25 kc.

Feel: This place is on the border of what passes for a 'bad neighborhood' here. (Brown-skinned people be here!) The place is very low key, and somewhat plain, but there is leather furniture to chill in near the bar. The staff and clientèle are younger and/or grungier than most of Brno that I frequent (closer to Seattle average). Seems to be a music place, too. There's a raised section at the end of the hall and concert photos march around the room. A bit loud and a bit smoky on a normal Saturday.


Pros: Good selection of quality Svijany (mind the tall-glassed nefiltrované, it packs a punch). There's a small selection of cold bar snacks, including some blue-ish cheese and utopenec (sausage drowned in vinegar and raw onions). The staff is friendly, remarkably efficient (read: western-style service) and will quickly find someone to speak English with you. Foosball and micro-foos (see last picture). Decent website (no English, but clear layout).

Cons: A bit on the spartan side, dogs do run about, and headed towards a sketchy 'hood.



Overall: Good for just hanging out with nice beer and chill people. Great prices.

Directions: From hlavní nádraží - walk down and to the right, under the bridge, and straight across the street. Pub is 15 meters ahead on the right. By tram - take the 8, 10, 13 to Vlkhá and walk towards hlavní nádraží. Pub is about 15 meters ahead on the left.

Mini-foos!
