Classic Czech pub with some interesting twists

Noteworthy for: This traditional pub dining room has been given a quietly quirky contemporary revamp.

Tipple of choice: For a change, ask for Lokál U Bílé kuželky's own home-brewed beer as a "snyt", a half litre glass served as three quarters foam.

In an area so busy with visitors as Mala Strana, it's hard to find somewhere that's genuinely popular with locals. In Lokál U Bílé kuželky, however, you'll hear Czech more often than English or German.

It's a classic, friendly Czech pub and dining room that, on second glance, isn't all that classic. Look at the traditional wood panelling and you'll find its pierced with unlikely images, such as sausage dogs and Michael Jackson moonwalking. The food - typical hearty, meaty Czech grub - is also way above average, made only with fresh ingredients from regional suppliers.
