Local History
Engage with traditional Smíchov pub heritage
Visit one of the few remaining authentic neighborhood pubs that hasn't succumbed to tourist trends.
Overview
U Starého lva on Lidická Street is a rare, authentic Smíchov institution that preserves the fading character of a traditional Czech pub. Unlike modern establishments that feel mass-produced, this space retains a distinct sense of place, often compared to the nostalgic, lived-in atmosphere of Hrabal-era Prague. Guests come here for the honest, no-frills hot meals and a rotating, curated selection of regional draft beers from smaller breweries like Svijany and Rohozec. The service is prompt and friendly, reflecting an old-school hospitality style that prioritizes local regulars and welcoming visitors alike. Whether you are finding a quiet moment in the inner courtyard or enjoying the social energy inside, the pub offers a grounded, high-value experience that feels like a true slice of local life.
