Old fashioned cinema entered through a corridor running through communist-looking tenements and accessed through a courtyard. In summer you can buy beer from a little kiosk in the courtyard and sup it before your film. In winter there's a decent bar and you are allowed to take drinks into the auditorium with you. The cinema's piece de resistance is the fact that the chairs in the auditorium boast drinks holders designed to allow you to line up a beer, a glass of water and a shot side-by-side. Shows arthouse and mainstream films with a decent sprinkling of English language films. Towards the end of 2009 price of entry hovered around the 100kc mark.

Just went over last weekend and it was one of the best short breaks I have had in a long time! The walk through the cobbled streets, over Charles Bridge, through the festive markets eating trodl, a hollow barrell-like delicacy made from caramel and almonds, a must to try with some warm grog!

The best thing for me was going to Cafe Slavia (opposite the National Theatre) and Cafe Louvre (Narodni 20). Try to get a table by the window and enjoy their great coffees, hot chocolate (the real deal) looking over Charles Bridge and taking in the atmosphere.

Whether you are travelling alone or with someone, it will definitely relax you and might even give you some inspiration. Cafe Louvre, though without a great view, has this unexplainable charm and has entertained the likes of Franz Kafka and Albert Einstein. A city where the pace is slow but still with a vibrancy that touches your soul.

Situated very close to the Charles Bridge this pub has a warm, inviting atmosphere. Wooden chairs, tables and half-timbered walls, decorated above with prints of 19th/early 20th Century fashions, give an old fashioned feel to the place, however, the atmosphere is more that of a pub/wine bar than a traditional beer hall. The menu has traditional Czech dishes, both substantial main courses - leg of pork, meat stews, dumplings etc.. and smaller snack style dishes i.e. sausages, cheese plate, potato pancakes. Good wholesome well - cooked food. They also serve delicious dark Velkopopovicky Kozel Beer

Situated very near to Malastranke Namesti, this is a great place to stop and have lunch, or maybe a couple of beers, while exploring the Mala Strana area.

The atmosphere is friendly and inviting; a largish room decorated with frescos/paintings of Prague. At lunch-time it was very busy with a mixture of visitors and locals, all sharing the wooden tables. The general feel is of a good old-fashioned pub/beer hall.

The food is traditional Czech (Fried fillet of fish with tartare sauce
Pork fillet with cheese, Dumplings
Boiled potatoes,Red beet salad)
with a range of main course and smaller dishes. Service was slow with only one – very friendly and charming – waiter/barman serving everyone in the place. However, while you are waiting you can enjoy the dark and light Staropramen beer.

The food, when it arrived, was good quality and at a very reasonable cost. I’d recommend it.

Pivovarsky Dum is a brewpub-cum-restaurant. As well as the usual light range of Czech pilsner it brews a variety of flavoured beers such as nettle, banana and wild cherry. Stylish surroundings and decent food.

Claims to be the oldest brew-pub in the world, founded in 1499. I don't think the building's quite that old, but it's a wonderfully atmospheric pub with intricate murals and a comfortable beer garden. The beer brewed on the premises is a dark lager in the style brewed before light lagers were developed in Plzeň and is delicious. Unfortunately, U Fleků has, since the outbreak of un-fettered capitalism in the Czech Republic, turned into a "see how much we can rip off the tourists" type venue, but despite this, it's worth a visit to see the fantastic interior and to taste the gorgeous beer. Beware if your waiter brings a glass of schnapps or similar with your beer; apparently this is done in such a way as to make you think it's on the house, but actually you're going to get charged a lot for it, so you should make it clear you don't want it.

Located in the beautiful courtyard behind Tyn Church (Ungelt) Ebel Coffee House is a fantastic place to take a rest while exploring the Old Town Square and Stare Mesto, chill, out in Summer or warm up in Winter. They serve loads of different variations on coffee (the Viennese Coffee - lavished with whipped cream on the top - is great) and tea. In winter you can try Hot Wine, Hot Mead and Hot Griottee (a cherry alcohol drink) They also do beakfasts, sandwiches etc.. Never tried any but they looked delicious. Open 9.00am-10.00pm It does get busy do be prepred to budge up and share a table!
