Doma Bohemian Beer Cafe

[Gough]

Any of you Sydney based boys and girls been here yet? Seems like there are 2 Czech bars competing in Potts Point?

Sounds interesting

...or the choice of beers (Polish, Hungarian, Slovak and Czech, including Budvar, the original Budweiser)

Will have to make the effort to get over that side of the city in the next couple of months.

Beers,
Doc

 

[KoNG]

sounds good,
something like that could just convince me to head back to that retched area..!
(i witnessed a drug land shooting much closer than need be, last time in the cross)

i'll get some mates together and check it out....
stay tuned

 

[Borret]

That review has got my mouth watering already. Sounds awsome.

Note to self.... visit beer cafe when in Sydney.

I think I'll try and combine the visit with Prague which is also close by.

Beers,
Doc

Woohoo,

Hope we get one down here in the arse-end. Can just taste it now... knedlicky, kysel zel, vepřov maso. (dumplings, sauerkraut & roast pork). Cholesterol raising at its finest. :super:

Don't forget the standard half litre of pivo, prosim?

SWMBO is half-czech. Finally a beer cafe she'll let me go to. :beerbang:

Sorry, should have given both links when I originally posted. This was the 2nd bar in Potts Point that I meant.

I couldn't think of anything worse than putting up with weekend crowds, I reckon this calls for a very long Friday lunch to truely appreciate both venues. I have some brownie points that I lose if I don't cash them in soon.Wish they had Brinzahvah Haloushki. Its great tucker.
Cheers

Mmmmm... Big drool factor TDA

Nice collection there. Drunk quite a few of them too. Krusovice (when fresh) is my fave. Anybody who wants to try them should do so while they're still in business.

Smaller brewers are dying a horrible death in the CR lately. The big guys are muscling in and squeezing the life out of them.

I'll show SWMBO though. She wouldn't mind another excuse to visit the rellies. It's a truly beautiful country.

I was given a bottle of this by a Czech work colleague.

Tried it last night. It was a really nice beer. Great flavour from the Saaz. Perhaps not as malty as Pilsener Urquell but all the same, I really enjoyed it. Would be even nicer on a hot day. I could imagine how good it tastes from the tap Warren. :super:

So Johnno, I suppose these Snitz's aren't to be found in Australia?

Ohhhh devine. Praha has to be my favourite place. I had a g/f from
a Czech background and we stayed in Praha for a month.
It's good to have somebody who can speak the language too!
The restaurants and the beer.....

 

[warrenlw63]

..... and the cholesterol. :lol:

You're right though Brad. Prague is tops. Unfortunately caving in to commercialism at an alarming rate.

I was in your boat. My wife knows quite a fair bit of the language, being half czech. Also have the benefit of multi-lingual relatives. It's amazing some of the taverns that are well hidden away from the tourists. Very low prices become even lower.

TDA. Krusovice is favourite of former president Vclav Havel. When it's totally fresh the hop aroma has an almost uniquely lemon aroma.

Another couple of gems from the CR are Bernard and Platan. Probably won't find them here. If so they'll be close to dead.

Memories.

[bradmcm]

Platan is great.
So is Měťan. My favourite.
So many good beers.

Tis the land where man (or woman) could live by lager alone. :wub:
