What is the Czech pub? It is definitely a phenomenon, a very popular place connected with beer drinking. But it is also often a place very cultural and educational.
Pubs became the base of unofficial culture during the normalization. Some pubs are still frequented by regulars, while others are more anonymous and have a rotation of visitors.
Settlements and their pubs can be charming. Compared to the overcrowded centre of Prague with its uniformed pubs, there is a sense of cohesion and togetherness almost like a village.
Prague without pubs would be a different Prague, much more dull and boring. Even many artistic and intellectual achievements would hardly be possible without the support of convivial friendship over a beer.
