Betlém restaurant

10 pubs with the best beer of 2009

by Michal Kašpárek on 12/28/2009

I have spent some time – maybe too much time – in the pubs of Brno last year and here is my personal choice of the restaurants, pubs and bars with best draught beers that you definitely should try out (I am sorry about the quality of pictures – I am leaving my DSL camera at home when I go out for some fun):

Betlém

I dare to call Betlém the best pub of the year. Excellent Dalešice beer, great (even though expensive) meals and a funny rule that allows you to drink after the closing time, just for 20% higher prices.

Bláhovka

Legendary old-school pub with probably the best Pilsen on the tap in Brno. Usually you have to drink it standing if you come after 1 p.m. and drink it standing outside if you can’t make it before 3 p.m.

PUXpub

A recently opened pub at Jaselská st. offers a new beer every week – sometimes you can enjoy Polička, sometimes Richard from Brno-Žebětín, sometimes Opat. There are always great waiters and waitresses.

Zelená kočka

Dalešice again! This time in the very centre of the town. What I love about Zelená kočka is a big garden (closed during winter, of course), great meals and excellent service.

Pegas

Excellent homebrew beer – however the experience is somehow damaged by rude waiters that don’t get they are not ruling the guests but serving them. Give Pegas a try anyway!

Veselá vačice

“Happy opossum” regulary offers Dudák but has several other beers on tap. Sometimes you can get my favorite Polička.

Starobrno brewery

Well, I am not a big fan of Starobrno beer, but if I am to drink one (or two, three, seven, eight), Starobrno brewery is a clear choice. Good beer, huge garden, tasty meals and nice atmosphere!

Hluchá zmije

Non-smoking pub at Jugoslávská st. is close to being as legendary as Bláhovka.

U srdcí

This underground pub in Královo Pole is a dent of old hippies and young pot-smokers. You are not going to forget this night – because you will not ever remember it anyway.

Domácí club Gurmán

This tiny pub with family-like atmosphere has several beers from small breweries on tap, including Polička and Pelhřimovský Poutník.
