You’re enjoying a sunny summer day by the water - and suddenly, you realise just how long and arid the journey back home will be. Luckily, Lokál is ready to quench your thirst, with multiple locations around Prague and beyond. Here’s a handy little guide which shows which ones are closest to popular swimming spots in Prague, Brno and Pilsen.

Good beer and honest cooking

Lokál is a dream which came true – one of a Czech pub where regulars feel at home. In 2009 we opened Lokál Dlouháááá, and the others soon followed. Today we have nine locations – seven in Prague, one in Brno and another in Pilsen.
We serve beer that's fresh, right to the last sip, and real home cooking. Lokál is a place where good beer and honest food matter.

Come on in!
