Pivní York

You'll find this slice of Prague tucked down Patrick Pool, one of those wonderfully narrow medieval lanes that tourists usually hurry past on their way to the Minster. The stone walls and low ceilings immediately transport you to a proper Czech pivnice, complete with communal wooden tables that encourage chatting with strangers over pints of Pilsner Urquell and Kozel. The food takes Central European comfort seriously – think proper schnitzel that hangs off the plate, goulash that'll warm you through a Yorkshire winter, and sausages that pair brilliantly with their rotating selection of Czech lagers. The staff actually know their beer, which makes a refreshing change from the usual corporate pub experience in the city centre.
