Phil Dunphy Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Off to Prague again in the morning and fancy picking up a Slavia shirt while I'm away. Was thinking of getting 'Skacel' on the back, what with him playing for Slavia too. Not sure if this is something anyone has any experience of doing, but worth a shot. Anyone know if this can be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Was at the club shop recently. Quite a small place but probably possible. Off topic but get your erse to the beer museum pub at the river... superb (try not to go to the actual museum.... unusual place) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gorgie Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 No idea about the football shirt but Bad jeffs bbq is pretty good for food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Dunphy Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 Thanks for the tips lads. I was over in 2016 on a guys trip and managed to check out the beer museum. Going with the missus this time, so there's likely going to be more culture and less beer this time round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's vegetarian We'll be making a trip to the Tavern of Seven Swabians too. If you've never been there, definitely try it out if you're over again. The last time I was over, it was the cheapest beer we found the whole time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_R Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Sparta play in Maroon. Big club shop next to the stadium. And the stadium is worth a wee look, big walls with ultras murals for some smart photos. Not Slavia of course but the better bet imo.

DarthVodka Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Love a Prague trip I do. I got a nice vertical stripe maroon and white Sparta top a few years back, still have it.

Was tremendous, best sporting entertainment and atmosphere I've had in ages. £13 a ticket in rink side bucket seats and a waitress bringing beer and food to you.

I've been a few times now, have some favourite dive bars and locals places. Sports is great over there as I mentioned above. Also done an escape room, only one I've ever done with live actors, horror themed was creepy but brilliant entertainment. I've only been with friends though so if fine dining and romantic sights is your thing can't help so much.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main ones are Wenceslas Square with astronomical clock and Charles bridge are the main ones, both worth seeing but surrounding area are tourist traps There is a monastery up on the hill overlooking the city that brews different beers that are meant to have tonic properties ie "anti depressant beer" it has a restaurant. Bit touristy but great views over the city Mosaic House is a relaxed bar/club. It's attached to a 'boutique hostel' it's nice with modern decor and seating. Wouldn't be a bad stop for a couple looking for a bit nightlife while avoiding stag parties etc If I think of more I'll post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the usual recommendations you'll get, the castle, the beer museum, etc, there's a bar just down from the castle I can't recommend enough.

Fantastic medieval bar that's been there for a long, long time. Looks good. Will check that one out on my next visit. An an aside the "beer museums" are rubbish imo. There are several but don't let the name sway you, they are just bars that have multiple taps of beer. Which in itself is fine but you'll end up ordering 5 taster glasses of guff. There are plenty better bars serving better beer elsewhere imo. I enjoyed Beer Story (https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g274707-d8871690-Reviews-Pipa_Beer_Story-Prague_Bohemia.html) If anyone is visiting with friends. Good variety of beers and they have big screens for sport while the place still has a czech-feel to it. A million times better than the over priced sports bars full of steaming tourists. Handmade onion rings were tremendous as well. Edited November 16, 2019 by Alan_R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
