Czech beer hallstare-mesto
Lokal Dlouhaaa pours Pilsner from tank in a 70-metre 1970s-style hall. The bar runs on the pace of a beer-tap-only Czech pub, with the same Pilsner you cannot find this fresh elsewhere.

Tip: Stand at the bar if no booth is available; the second tap pour is the smarter order.

Food: American burgers
Tip: Cash only; the burger plate is the kitchen's main reason to exist.
