PragueBuzz!

Last night, a friend of mine suddenly felt the urge for a good glass of beer and insisted to take us to Rokytka, a bar near Palmovka station (metro B). According to this local Czech, he never tasted a good beer in his life until last week when he drank at Rokytka.

The most attracting thing about this restaurant was the price of the beer. It cost a mere 18 Kc for a 0.5l glass even on a Friday evening. Expect to pay at least 30 Kc for a glass of beer in a typical pub in downtown of Prague. My friend just informed me that 13th grade beer such as Svijany can cost up to 50 Kc.

Other than drinking Svijany, we order two snacks: Pickled Hermelin/Camambert, soft, creamy French cheese sprinkled with oiled bell peppers and Devil Toast, toasted breads soaked in tomato sauces, served with pickled cabbages on the side. The snacks were surprisingly cheap as well, 33 Kc and 35 Kc respectively. I don’t normally like Czech food, especially everything cheese related, but I found the Devil Toast pleasantly tasty.

With the “profound energy” supplied by cheap Svijany, cheese and toast, we spent an uneventful Friday evening gossiping about strangely unrelated topics such as:
” What’s up with Czech’s super deference to “Mr. Engineer?”
” How to study for free and very cheap in Prague.
” How to have your own room for 3000 Kc in Prague downtown.
” What does it mean by “going south?”
” What make Africans fights?
” And so on…
