Overview
Mrtvá Ryba, or Death Fish, is a staple of the Prague student experience, located conveniently at Benátská 1965/4. This non-smoking establishment functions as a relaxed sanctuary, primarily frequented by students from the neighboring Natural Science and Medical faculties, whether they are grabbing a drink between lectures or celebrating successful exams. Its location is particularly special, featuring outdoor seating beneath trees that share space with the entrance to the local Botanical Garden. Guests can expect a straightforward, no-nonsense environment focused on quality regional beers like Černá hora, Klášter, or Zemské pivo, along with popular lunchtime staples such as their house-made chili con carne. It is a quintessential local spot for anyone looking to step away from the tourist path and experience a genuine piece of the city's academic culture.
