Day Trips from Prague Nightlife

Sights

1. Minipivovar Labut

The Swan Mini Brewery, as its name translates, is an underground brewpub—literally, in the cellar or a former art-nouveau hotel—just off Peace Square (Mirove Namesti). The space is very clean-looking, with stone walls and floor and light wood tables and chairs, some of which face the copper tanks in which the four house beers are brewed. The restaurant is half smoking, half non-smoking, but the ventilation system works well to prevent smoke from crossing over. You can order individual pints, like the semi-dark lager with chocolate notes, or a tasting flight of all four; flights come with an explanation by the owner of the brewing process and a little behind-the-scenes look. You can munch on platters of local sausages and cheese, bread, gherkins, lard with cracklings, and popcorn. Wine, soft drinks, hot drinks, and liquor are also on the menu.
