    It's not a tourist thing really, if you don't speak czech, but some customer speak english. You get contact to local life and that is NO tourist rip of.

    (Translated by Google) So it was once here that brilliant governor Jirka Hrdina started as his second Prague café. The original one was in Salmovská Street. It still keeps its standard here. Mainly in musical theater dramaturgy. Balbínka has its own theater company. At one point he played under her "wings" and called the Original Prague Syncoponic Orchestra. "Europivo" from Pilsner beer hegemon Prazdroj drawn well, in good measure and temperature. Just want a good beer from a small craft brewery, so we do not have to across the street to the famous beer bar NUBEERBARU! MICHAL STEIN (Original) Tak tady to kdysi rozjel geniální guvernér Jirka Hrdina, jako svou v pořadí druhou pražskou kavárnu. Ta původní byla v Salmovské ulici. Stále si to tady drží standard. Hlavně v hudebně divadelní dramaturgii. Balbínka má i svůj vlastní divadelní soubor. Jednu chvíli hrál pod jejími "křídly" i názvem Originální pražský synkopický orchestr. "Europivo" z plzeňského pivního hegemonu Prazdroj čepováno kvalitně, v dobré míře i teplotě. Jen by to ještě chtělo kvalitní pivko z menšího řemeslného pivovaru, abychom na něj nemuseli naproti přes ulici do vyhlášeného pivního baru NUBEERBARU! MICHAL STEIN

    This place creates mixed feelings. Firstly it has small concert room where interesting bands, poets or piano players are having concerts. It's decorated by quotes and pictures of anti-communist resistance. On the other hand it's full of cigarette smoke and people come at midnight to have few last beers (including me).

    Is that a pub, theatre, music club or something between? It's hard to tell. However, the place has an awesome, unique atmosphere and great events.

  • 1/5 Bojana S. 6 years ago on Google • 12 reviews
    We werer really excited to stumble upon this place that seemed really charming. Unfortunately, we never got inside, as the owner (or whoever the person on the FB page photo is) was extremily rude and unwelcoming to us, in spite of my poiltte efforts to communicate in czech.

👍👍 For me, the best place to eat in Prague. Not only drinks, but also foods arrive at your table on trains. On some tables, trains return to even take empty plates! On top of that - the food is delicious, same goes for drink. The staff is very kind and polite. I definitely recommend this place.
