Off-the-Beaten-Path Gem with Retro Vibes & Great Beer! U Sadu is exactly the kind of pub you hope to find in Prague -- tucked away from the main tourist crowds, giving it that authentic, local feel. It's the kind of spot where you can imagine regulars have their favorite tables, and visitors like us feel lucky to have stumbled in. Beer & Food The beer selection is outstanding -- plenty of great Czech options on tap, and everything we tried was fresh and perfectly poured. The food was delicious, hearty, and comforting -- ideal to pair with a pint or two. Vibe & Atmosphere Step inside and you'll feel like you've been transported to the '80s -- with Scorpions playing in the background, vintage decor everywhere (think funky thrift-store meets cozy dive bar), and that moody, dim lighting that makes the whole space feel chill and relaxed. There are even board games on the tables, adding to the laid-back, friendly atmosphere. Whether you're sipping beer with friends or just people-watching, the whole place gives off cool, retro-local vibes. Service Our server was attentive, kind, and super efficient -- even with a full house. It's clear they know how to take care of their guests without being pushy or rushed. Highly recommend U Sadu if you're looking for a local-feeling pub with character, great beer, and a totally unique vibe in Prague. One of the best surprises of our trip! read more

U Sadu - Warm appetizer- Bavarian sausage - Gastropubs Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

My advice is to order the traditional Czech cuisine. My husband ordered the mushroom risotto and he wishes he had ordered Czech food instead. However, I finally got my first pork knuckle and it was succulent and delicious served with sauerkraut, mustard and tartar sauce. I'm craving it now! The atmosphere was rustic yet inviting and the service was cordial. read more

This place is very cool! We arrived quite late in the evening so service was a bit slow which didn't bother us. The food came out before the drinks, which I thought was funny but the food was AMAZING! My photo does not do it justice but I definitely recommend the chicken bramburger! Made friends with the locals here as well. Would recommend :) read more

U Sadu - Chicken Bramburger - Gastropubs Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

I don't get why this place has such a low score! The first time I was here was '09, thanks to my friend who was a local - and thought it was a great place to sit for hours talking over cappuccinos, beer and wine. On my trip this spring we decided to stay in Praha 3, and so we came here 2 times - the first for nostalgia purposes, the 2nd because it was delicious and a safe bet for darn good (cheap) Czech food! On my first visit back in '09 my friends and I sat in the upstairs room decorated with crazy antiques, so I had no clue there was such a connection of alcoves in the basement - which is where we sat the first time on our trip this spring, and which is fantastic! The white wine is decent and super cheap, and the beer is of course the same. I had the Zizkov Tower the first night - I couldn't *not* get it for the name alone - not to mention the description! (pork tenderloin, chicken, ripened cheese) - and it was FANTASTIC!! I had already eaten the huge tomato 'salad' which, in true (and seemingly disappearing) Czech style was literally that - a salad of tomatoes, capers, and onions - and no lettuce - Love! So I was already fairly full but gobbled down my Zizkov Tower in spite of myself ;D My husband of course got the goulash and loved it! We hung out for hours and as the night went on, watched the locals pour in the later it got. We went back closer to the end of our trip and my husband got another dish heavy on the gravy with beef, a pork sausage, and onions which he loved. I had the Pork tenderloin filled with jalapeňos and smoked cheese - as I am a Texas gal and always have to try things with jalapeňos! Also - I am intrigued by any meats that are stuffed with things - True Story! If odd? Again, another delicious meal for us! This place deserves your time, particularly if you are in the area! (And then again - even if you're not - why not venture out to Prague 3 and see more of the city? It's not a far trip!) I love you, U Sadu! And will see you again :) read more

U Sadu - light snack :) - Gastropubs Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

We had ou first experience two days ago and was just perfect! Food, service... everything worked more then expected. Because the previous experience was good, we decide to return . It was our last night and our expectations were high. Unfortunately, we faced a completely different bar/restaurant today. Our service downstairs at the basement still fantastic but the man upstairs that appears to be the manager (short , glasses and bold) was one of the most unfriendly person that I ever met in my entire life. He refused to help us with anything.... even a taxi he couldn't help us to get. Told my father with more then 70 years old to go to the street and find one. I must say that we were aware that the place was informal but to be treated like this was quite surprising. Before today I will say that this was the place to be in Prague but after this treatment I would to show my concerns regarding the kind of people they hire... very sad that this was our last experience in Prague. read more

Pros: -Many great beers available; more than other places around -Big menu with options to please everyone -Fair prices -The English translation menu was good and reliable -Delicious food -Not touristy Cons: -None! read more

This is a great beer bar in Prague that is well worth going off the beaten path for. For my fellow American beer nerds: don't miss this spot while in Prague! U Sadu always has at least 10 beers on tap, most of which are Czech but not necessarily the mass-produced Pilsner Urquell or Kozel that you're accustomed to seeing at the more touristy bars. Drinking in the Czech Republic is cheap, and this place is no exception. You can easily grab several pints of diverse styles of beer without breaking the bank. They offer a "sampler tray" that consists of six .3 liter beers (1.8L total) at a great price that I definitely recommend. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and multi-lingual. I just asked for their recommendation of six local beers and I wasn't disappointed by the result. The menu is also affordable and diverse. There are good options for full meals and snacks alike. My vegetarian wife was able to find lots of great options (which isn't always the case in this country). All things considered, I consider U Sadu to be a must-visit for beer nerds (local and international alike). If I'm ever back in Prague, I'll be here for sure. read more

Went here with a friend to watch some hockey and just get out of the house. They messed up my beer order and brought me a more expensive beer, kept getting pushy when we didn't order food, and the cable went out in the middle of the game for about 10 minutes. It does get two stars for the really cute waiter, but since this place changes staff like I used to change my hairstyles, we'll see how long he lasts. read more

Since my first visit in 2012...I always come back to U Sadu.when I am in Prague. A great selection of beers and decent food at a good price. The outdoor seating is awesome...but it ends at 10 PM. The interior of the pub is nice, but outside is better. The waitstaff speaks English, but I try and fool them with my bad Czech. :-D read more

So apparently I can't stand near my friends for whatever reason when getting a beer. The bartender was rude as fuck, beer was late, could be a czech thing but I was never separated from a party of 10 just because I felt like standing . read more

A locals restaurant in Prague. Big menu which is nice, but the drink menu is a little confusing and the food is average with not great service. read more

Traditional Czech bar, great service, endless options for beer, including Belgium beers. Also they serve food until 2.00 am. You can smoke inside. Big basement for big groups as well. read more

The food was great and cheap! The breakfast was very hearty and the chef is very nice. I recommend getting the coffee lemonade for a refreshment. read more

U sadu is a pretty two story restaurant by the tv tower and unfortunately is a major tourist trap. This used to be the bar i was closest to so i went to it a lot before i learned better. The staff seem to make up the final bill and will add on many extra beers. This and the staff wont speak to you in English suddenly apeak it perfectly when demanding a tip. AVOID. There are better bars at JZP or down the hill read more

This was my first experience with authentic Czech food and the Chicken Bramburger did NOT disappoint. Throw in some potato croquettes and a few Kozels and you'll in for a great night. read more

Tourist trap. Plain and simple. The bald waiter, who appears to possibly be a manager, will blatantly try to rip you off. This guy added a couple "bonus" beers to our bill. When we started to point it out to him, he immediately said "oh, the two Staropromens? okay". We had not even mentioned what our issue with the bill was yet. Reading through the other reviews here, and elsewhere, it appears that this is the standard protocol at U Sadu. They're rip-off artists. We will never return again, and we will be sure to spread the word about this place's horrible treatment of its customers. read more

This place is definitely where the locals go! There is a no smoking section and an English menu! For beer I got the saden 11 which was well priced and not bad! We had shared the goulash, spare ribs, and fried cheese. The fried cheese is ohh soo good, worth the lactaid. The goulash and ribs were extremely salty. Be careful they charge you $ for bread you didn't ask for. read more

I really like this place. During our 4 day trip to Prague my buddies and I went there 3 times. I like it because it doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not. It's a dive-y, neighborhood pub. The service isn't anything to rave about but I don't care as long as my beer comes out in a timely manner. The food was good but again, nothing to rave about. I went to many other restaurants and it was the same deal wit food. Afterall, I come from an area that it considered a 'melting pot' so I know that the food was decent for what is was. Sure, there's crap all over the ceiling but i'm used to kitschier places back home. I kinda like the crap all over the place. It gives me something to look at and wonder about. What is really inspiring me to give a pretty high rating is the beer. I LOVE THE BEER! The Sadek was awesome! Apparently, this is the only place around that you can get it. The beer alone will keep me going back! read more

This is one of the great classic Prague pubs. Funky interior upstairs (a bit dire downstairs, though), great beer, great food, quite abrupt and surly service (nicer upstairs than downstairs.) This is a place that's about beer first and food second, but the food can be pretty darned good. A must-go place. Men: check out the urinal turtles. read more

Really like this darkish and slightly battered place because it resembles a typical local UK pub/bar. Been there 5 times or so and will keep returning mainly for the "Sadek" homebrewed lager. They serve some bottled Belgian beer as well. The food is ok, but nothing special I'd say. Frankly there are better places to dine in just around the corner. The service is always fun to chat with. That quick-witted lad has always got along pretty well with my friends (incl. foreigners). read more

This used to be a nice place until it's become a tourist trap. I could survive the smell and noise, but not the staff charging you for beers you didn't have (not one, not two, but 3 extra beers per person?) I used to like this place, but I will never set my foot here again. read more

Great atmosphere, a good place to go for fried cheese, table football downstairs, snippy wait staff, and a great guy named Nick. Great value for the money! read more

Visited U Sadu last summer, hoping to have a casual dinner. Noteworthy is how the interior of the restaurant resembles a cross between a thrift shop and a junk yard. Not exactly the ideal surroundings for a meal. Receiving the menu took some time, possibly ten minutes, but having the waiter take our order took far longer. Me and my company waited up to half an hour, if not longer, for the so called waiter. To the dinner we ordered wine, which turned out the be a bad choice, since the (red) wine was refrigerator cold. It then took a bloody hour to taste the sad dishes the chief had conjured up. The traditional Czech cuisine was nothing of the sort. It seemed more likely that the chief had 86'd the recipes. Not only was our waiter clumsy, they also failed to even appologize for the slow service. But the table across us, occupied by a couple of American girls got first class service and finished their meals before we even had the chance to start on ours (eventhough we arrived prior to them). The staff even dropped what they were doing to sprint to the doorway so as to bid them farewell. Me and my company didn't even recieve eye contact as we left. So do yourself a favour and avoid this lousy tourist trap. By far my worst restaurant experience in the Czech republic. read more
