The Therapy restaurant is obviously a joke, as you can say "We're going to Therapy," or "We're at Therapy," or We're in Therapy," etc. Still, it's a decent place for a light meal or a night out.

The U Pinkasu hospoda (pub) was the first hospoda to be officially a "Plzenska Restaurace," sponsored by the Plzensky Prazdroj (Pilsener Urquell) brewery. I think the building is a bit older, though.

This was the horse stable at the brewery, surprisingly right next to the brewpub. Although it's a bit hard to see the horses, they're in there hidden in the shadows of those stalls on the left.

This room looks big, but I have maybe a third of the room behind me, plus the corner building, and behind the big screen television there's another whole room. All in all, I think this may have been the biggest pub I've ever been in, and it took me 10 or 20 minutes to get a beer and a seat. In the end, I had to get my dinner elsewhere since there was no way that I would be served before closing time. The most interesting thing about this place, in my opinion, is that in spite of globalization, and the obvious intention at this pub of catering to tourists, almost everybody there was German (with the exception of one or two tables of Americans), and the food was traditional German in every way.

Although you can still get the EU standard half-litre mugs at the Augustiner brewpub, they seem to prefer the full-litre mugs that they're known for, and which my flatmates back in Prague have.

Here's the brewpub at the Augustiner brewery, which looks deceptively small. In reality, that corner building is only the entrance and one of the smaller bars. Most of the action is over to the right, in a building that's several times longer than you can see here.

Here's the Augustiner logo on the corner of Landsbergerstrasse and Holzapfelstrasse.

This is the view out the window of the station bar in Nadrazi Kladno. I just shot this because I liked how it looked.

Yes, this herna bar is actually called the "Fleapit Herna," in actual English.

I know exactly where the pub I took this is, but I've forgotten the name at the moment. Basically, this was an experiment with the cameraphone resting on the glass, pointing down into it. The beer glass is a Staropramen one, if you can't read the lettering.

I took a photo of the Aeroplane Bar the last time I was in Olomouc as well, but I couldn't resist trying it again. Unfortunately, unless you only want part of the plane, or some kind of abstraction, this is one of the only angles which works because of the trees blocking the view.

Slovanka, appropriately enough for a Czech tourist attraction, has its own hospoda, or pub, pictured here.

This is the famed "Aeroplane Bar" in Olomouc. It is in fact a genuine Tupolev Tu-104 airliner, the first successful design of jet airliner in history, as the very first jet airliner, the De Havilland D.H.106 Comet, had an unpleasant habit of blowing up in flight. It was also the first jet airliner built in the Communist bloc, and not to be outdone, Boeing introduced the 707 a few years later, finally giving the west an airliner to be proud of. In any case, this Tu-104 will unlikely ever fly again, as it's well....a bar, and in any case one of the wings is smashed at the tip.

No, I'm not a student at Bradford, and never have been, but I do have friends there. I took this shot more or less randomly, and amazingly it came out nicely, even though I was using my built-in flash at close range. Okay, so Old Speckled Hen is a recent development, not an old authentic English ale at all, but it is a NEW authentic English ale!! :-) It's also very good.
