Bar Review: Hajnovka


So you're in Prague 2 and you want to go to a Czech pub. Vinohrady's strength are its bars, but for those who want a more pubby, homey and Czech food filled option, Hajnovka provides all that. And it's affordable. And super central. And unlike many expat hideouts, you don't run into Prague's entire population of English teachers at this roomy establishment right on Vinohradská. At a recent visit, I had a skewer of bratwurst and bacon with horseraddish, mustard and a big basket of bread for about 100 kč. It was superdelicious, even the bratwurst was decent, and that's quite a compliment coming from someone who grew up on the original Nuremberg variety. It was a daily special though, so don't sue me if you don't find it there when you go.

You can also choose from a bounty of Czech classics such as an excellent goulash there and different kinds of fried cheese. They do a fried cauliflower, baked duck with honey and also more modern interpretations of pub grub. Beer prices are fair with a Gambrinus going for 25 kč. If you're going on a weekend night, I'd recommend reserving a table as the place tends to fill up, even though it's pretty big.
