Czech Republic
Large, central pub with great beer and good food - mixed clientele (locals/tourists) and (by Prague standards) friendly staff. There's plenty of room if you keep going back into the hall.

Part of a pub/bar chain run by Pilsner Urquell. I believe their are three or four situated throughout Prague, the best in my opinion being Celnice (near the Obneci Dum) and Olympia (on the other side of the river). Though they look very plush, the food is great value and delicious. The beer, naturally is divine and very reasonable considering the location of the pubs.

Brewery run pub-cum-restaurant with great Czech food (that means meat, dumblings, more meat, in all its glory). Pleasant surroundings for a lunch (you can sit on the pavement in the summer, although it's probably best in the winter), near the Jewish quarter, and good service too.

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.
