    50 czk for a Pivo? That better be tourist bar prices...Also one of the best places to break bills and sometimes use as a bank is a McDonalds. One of the few places you can pay with a large bill and have it broken and not have them think you are an ass.

    Yeah 50Kc for a beer is a bit on the tourist price side lol. 35Kc is a bit closer to reality if you aren't thirsty somewhere in Old Town.

    I made a lot of trips to Prague around 2010....Friends living there so it made it easy, their local bar down the street had .5L for 11-13Kc...Good times.

    Pilsner Urquel is solid, but I wouldn't call it the best.... Personally I prefer Gambrinus when I am out and about in Prague, the working mans brew but I just like it more. The best beer I had in CZ was from the Budvar restaurant in Ceske Budejovice. They serve fresh, unpasteurized beer that they only keep for 2 days. Anything after that it gets dumped into the river.

    PS If any of you new tourists have time the Staropramen brewery is in Prague and the tour is pretty quick and cheap, and you get about a half hour of beer tasting at the end. Or you could like out like I did on mine. Our guide got called away for some emergency after a few minutes, people ran out of beer so my friend and I decided to take action and kept pouring beers nonstop for the next 45 minutes until she returned. It was a good time for sure.

    nothing much sexy. A bowling bar perhaps and one might find smtg in the Shoping Mall Harfa next to the venue.

    Only 236 tickets left for the Prague show- all behind the stage.
    There is a good chance the show will sell out.
    2006 and 2012 did not sell out (same Arena) and there were no seats behind the stage at all, so the demand for the 2018 show is much higher!

    I'm hoping there are maybe some shops near arena as I'm heading straight to the line from the airport and will need some supplies!
