U Zlatého tygra, "the golden tiger", is a small pub on Husova street, between Old Town Square and Charles Bridge. The house dates from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the tiger on the façade appears in 1702 and the pub is mentioned in a description of the city of 1816. It owes its fame to Bohumil Hrabal, who spent a good part of his life here, presided over the house club and had his place at the back table, next to the kitchen door. According to the house, he sat here with Presidents Clinton and Havel.
What to drink
Little and well: draught Pilsner Urquell in a 0.45 l glass, the dark Kozel and the alcohol-free Birell, all at 73 crowns when we checked the menu. For food, simple pub dishes. It is not a restaurant: you come to drink standing or to share a table.
How it works
It is open every day from 15:00 to 23:00. The tables have owners: many are reserved for regulars and clubs, and the rest fill up quickly. If you want to be sure of a seat, call to book; if not, go as soon as it opens and ask if there is room.
Getting there
It is at Husova 17, three minutes' walk from Old Town Square and five from Charles Bridge. The nearest metro is Staroměstská.
What to order: a 0.45 l Pilsner Urquell; if the night goes on, the next one arrives by itself
