Praha/Prague recommended

Like any major tourist destination, Prague is overflowing with Irish bars of all shapes and sizes. They are not, however, all the same. This whistle-stop tour of Irish Prague should help you stumble your way around some of the "classier" establishments in the Czech capital.

O'CHE's


A few minute's walk from the tourist meccas of Charles bridge and the Old Town Square, on the charming winding street of Liliova (Old Town) is one of the world's most eccentric Irish themed drinking dens.

Think "Cork meets Castro" and this friendly Eire-Cuban adventure almost makes sense. With friendly native staff and quirky decor this haven from the tourist trail instantly becomes appealing any time of the day.

This bar really comes alive when there is sport to be shown, and with numerous screens showing both Czech and English language events, even the most die-hard fan will struggle to decide what to watch.

But if you can't decide, don't worry too much, because unlike a lot of Irish bars in Prague, the prices reflect the rest of the country, so you won't have to pay more than 35kč (€1.2) for a pint of Gambrinus (A hidden Czech gem).

An example of how Irish bars should be, the first stop for any homesick sportsfan and a cheap alternative to Prague's expensive reputation ...
