The best/most authentic pubs in Prague?
 
Any recommendations on the best and most authentic pubs to visit while in Prague? (not touristy) I do realize I'm a tourist myself :-), but of course, I am looking for a place where the locals hang out to get a real feel for an authentic Czech pub. Thanks!!

I found a few on different visits, but can not remember their names or give good directions on how to find them. It's simple enough, really.

I assume that you are moderately streetwise. If you are not sure, don't take risks. Most tourists confine themselves to a small enough area. Get on trams, see where they go. Some neighbourhoods are nice; others seem unappealing (e.g. concrete tower blocks); some seem rough.

Get out and explore some of the nice neighbourhoods. Try the bars for yourself. It's easiest in daytime, and you might find a place where you would be happy to return for the evening.

Two that we enjoyed last week, both an easy walk from Old Town Square or Josefov:

Pivnice U Rudofina, Address: Køížovnická 10. near Veleslavinova street (on any Czech street names, my spelling could be off some). A block or so from the Manesuv most (bridge). About one long block and one short one north of the Charles Bridge.

Kolkovna, V Kolkovnì 8, which intersects with Siroka, Vezenska and Dusini streets at the pub--near the Spanish Synagogue.

From what we could hear most of the customers seemed to be Czech. Don't know what they would be like in the summer.

I don't have my travel book or notes from my trip around, but off the top of my head a great beer garden we visited was U Fleku.
Sorry Ican't offer more information. My friends and I went to several but this one was by far the most authentic, not only were we the only tourists in the place, but the only people who were under the age of 40, and it was packed!
