| So named in commemoration of the exploits of General Jan Zizka – whose statue on the hill behind – the largest equestrian statue in the world apparently – is the best focal point for finding your way to this great idiosyncratic pub. I’m not sure if anything absolutely defines the great European “anarcho” bar… maybe it’s the range of eclectic artwork on show, the unkempt appearance of the bar workers/clientele or loud and near unlistenable music. I tend to think there’s got to be at least one dog roaming the bar with impunity to qualify. There were at least three dogs at the Eye when we went, and nobody seemed put out. Loud music, loads of smoke, cheap beer and artwork by Martin Velisek (according to the Time Out guide) make this a “must go to” pub in Zizkov, an area which thus far has avoided the tourist driven changes that make central Prague a bore. Get off the number 9 tram at Viktoria Zizkov football ground, walk over the road and look out for General Jan on his horse. Its another five or so minutes walk, and is a bit hard to find as it’s down a side street and doesn’t look much like a pub from the outside… get a map. Dean_Pritchard - 21 Aug 2006 10:11 |
