Pivovarská Nalévárna U tří hrušek rumored to close

This is the second, larger pub on the border between Nusle and Vinohrady.

Sběrné Suroviny has closed

Lots of rumors as to why flying around the internet. They were around the corner from the original Bad Flash Bar and they are reports they may take over the space.


Illegal Beer has closed

Not due to COVID but they just thought it was time to move on to something new.  Now I am extra sad that I didn't make it to Prague earlier this year. Google Maps says "Temporarily Closed" so maybe there is hope somebody will take it over.

Temporary Closings

 

These pubs are listed as "Temporarily Closed" which I assume means they have to plans to reopen. They have been removed from the Guide for now, but when/if they re-open I will add them back in.

  • Pivovarský Klub
  • Pivova U Supa

 


Pub closings

The following pubs appear to have permanently closed.  I assume it is due to Covid-19 but that is just a guess on my part.

Novoměstský Pivovar to close.

Looks like they wil close at the end of the month.

Ferdinanda Nové Město removed from the Guide

Reportedly they no longer serve Ferdinand beers, which was the main reason for their listing.

Any updates welcome.

 

 


Putica has closed.

Very sad to hear this as it was the best place to get tank Únětice in the city center.

The eRko Gastropub in the same building stills lists tank Únětice on their menu, so there is a slim bit of hope. Watch this space...
