Other than Guinness on draft and a few whiskies, there's little "Irish" about this pub. But it's a…read moregood option on Stodolni, lively every night of the week and good staff. The music can be so loud it's hard to hear someone more than one foot away.

During a business trip to Ostrava, my colleagues and I went to Stodolni Street. I thought the…read morestreet was fun and vibrant, offering numerous places to eat and imbibe. After strolling down the street for awhile to assess where we wanted to begin, my colleagues chose Bernie's Traditional Irish Pub. I am always one for choosing more local places, but this place has a nice charm to it. We elected to sit outside and people-watch while we had a few drinks. As I had never been to the Czech Republic before, I wanted to try their beer. The waiter recommended Zubr Classic. Frankly, it was a shrugger and not anything special. I actually prefer the Pilsner Urquell beer from the Czech Republic that I had tried back in the States. Nonetheless, the wait staff was attentive and pleasant.

This place is a great spot to grab a drink. The owner is super nice and will play any music of your…read morechoice if you ask politely. They have one of my favorite wheat beers - Hoegaarden on draft, so I definitely have a big reason to come back, besides nice and quick service and good atmosphere. Even though they do not serve food, you can get cashew nuts, peanuts, chips or anything like that from the menu. And the owner was so nice that he even offered us to bring in our own food if we are more hungry. I have been to at least ten places on the famous Stodolni street and this is definitely one of my favorite spots. Big plus for anyone who does not speak Czech is that the owner speaks great English which should make your visit easier and more pleasant.

A good pub to visit on Stodolní street, especially if you are craving Italian food - they have…read morepizza, risotto, salads and bunch of other food options. I tried their cheese pizza and it was very tasty! (They also have other vegetarian food options besides pizza in case you want to take a healthier path.) They do not have Hoegaarden on draft (which some other bars on Stodolní street have) but they at least have lager and some other beers. Besides that, they have a good liquir selection so you can definitely find something to please your taste.

Ok, I will be honest and admit that this review is a bit biased since I have been coming to this…read moreplace since I was a little kid, therefore I have some sentimental feelings to this spot, but still, here it comes... This place is totally worth the visit! Especially if you are just randomly passing by or visiting for a couple days and want to make your visit more special. If you are active and healthy, make sure to put your tennis shoes on and hike it up (about an hour and a half). If you want to opt out for the easy option - take a chairlift that will bring you almost all the way up. But I can guarantee you that the food (and beer) will not taste as good if you do not work for it by hiking the hill up on your own! They do not offer many dishes, but everyone (even vegetarians) can find something on their menu which mostly consists of traditional Czech meals. I recommend starting with one of their soups - if you like cheese and do not mind if it has a peculiar smell, then you should not omit an opportunity to have "česnekačka s tvarůžkem" (garlic soup with special Czech stinky cheese) or if you like legumes - go for their čočková or fazolová (lentil or bean soups). As for the second, I like their fried cheese and if you are like me and are not the biggest fan of french fries, you can ask for a substitution of those with cooked potatoes or something else. If you like refreshing soft drinks, try traditional Czech soda - Kofola! If you are into beers, they have great beers from Litovel brewery. My favorite beer from them is called "černý citron" which is dark, weaker and very refreshing citrusy tasting beer! Definitely recommend trying this one out, but I have to give you a warning that it is quite difficult to only stick to one! Na zdraví!
