Though it looks basic and pretty primitive, just the mere existence of Piviarnia makes Żoliborz feel more complete. Positioned inside a grotty old pavilion, the bubbly atmosphere is helped along by six taps and a fridge stuffed with bottles from both Czechia and Poland. Genuine in its sense of... Read more
Once regarded as ‘the land that pubs forgot’, Ursynów is getting its act together. Found as it is inside a warehouse-style building amid lots of commie concrete, Vyceska’s smart interiors are something of a surprise: heavy black finishes interspersed with streaks of daffodil yellow and natural wood. Overcoming the... Read more
With its fake brickwork and shameless proliferation of Pilsner paraphernalia, the general feeling is that Ceska feels forced and phony – looking like it was fitted out to a rigid company blueprint, it’s more like the kind of theme pub you’d find off Leicester Square. Service, meanwhile, can be... Read more
You have to credit them for trying something different, but by going for a slick, corpo style Bohemia have completely missed ‘the essence of Czechia’. Filled with smooth wood and gleaming glass, it feels more boardroom than beer hall (actually, make that bored room). What goes right? The beer.... Read more
Halfway up one of the Harry Potter turrets that support Poniatowski Bridge, find divey Czeska engulfed in a murky yellow glow.

Named after the fictional Czech soldier Szwejk, the food here would certainly appeal to the tubby man himself. Bestowed with Prague street signs, meals are a hardy, meaty affair that arrive in XXXL portions. The price to quantity (Note: not quality) ratio guarantees queues (yes, queues) that stretch out...

Restaurants 26 June 2015 0
Set through a courtyard that replicates a Mitteleuropa square, Podwale has a beer hall atmosphere that’s further exaggerated when mountain bands circulate. Food is of average standard and served in portions that are obscene – finishing the wooden platters can be seriously traumatic. Go there for the experience, if... Read more
