During our trip to Prague we sampled a few pubs. I’ve already written a review about one of them. The Iron Curtain Pub also deserves a review. While the previous review showcased a traditional pub, this one is all about propaganda. As soon as I walked in I felt like I was sitting in a museum. Yet it was better than a museum since I could quench my thirst whilst taking in all the cool stuff. And there is much to take in. Artifacts from the communist reign in Prague adorn the walls.
When we walked in the staff was very friendly and selected a couple of lagers for us to try. If you aren’t a beer fan, they also have different vodkas for you to sample. This pub is a fun place to visit, especially if you are a history nerd like me. I think the pictures will give you an idea of the feel of the place.
Even a trip to the loo is entertaining.
I give this pub 5 out of 5 stars.
What a name for a pub!
It got my attention. And all the stuff inside is so cool.
But a bit creepy too, in a way, no?
It can be. The fall of the wall seems so long ago and yet when I was visiting you can still see the effects and I realized that it wasn’t that long ago. I can’t imagine what it was like. I love that they are keeping this part of their history fresh since it shouldn’t be swept under the rug.
Entertainment in the restroom is always interesting!!
LOL…it does add to the experience. It’s nice that they provide pictures and reading material for guests.
I don’t drink…at all….but I would just to see that pub. Looks freakishly amazing. I love the style! Thx for sharing!
It is unique–at least I haven’t seen any like it. I don’t think you have to drink to enjoy the place.
Very interesting place. I would have done just what you did. Photograph the place. Thanks for sharing this place of interest.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
I’m glad you enjoyed the photos.
It is like a politicized Bucca de Beppo. Fun!
I didn’t get bored and the staff was kind enough to let me take photos.
A name like that tells me the owner has a sense of humor. Cheers!
I’ll drink to that
Yes, I like the look of that place. Like the tunnel/bunker feel of the rounded ceiling and all the historical communist-era stuff would be so fascinating to look at, especially in a country where that history is/was alive. I can see why you liked it.
It does resemble a museum! Thanks for the tour.
What an interesting atmosphere, it just oozes history and stories from the past. I’d definitely have a drink here!
Fascinating place! Makes me think of Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin for some reason.
What an cool place. I think I’d be too distracted looking around to actually have a drink. Thanks for the tour.
I am also a history nerd so I know I would love this place. The photos are fab.
I’d give the vodka a go!

It’s hard to go wrong combining lager and history. Awesome!
It was certainly an interesting era in our lives!
I bet!
Beer, vodka and an entertaining loo…it has my vote
I like your style.
Very cool – comrade!
We just simply don’t have pubs here in the US desert southwest, so thank you for sharing pub stories. Perhaps in another 100 years, we will have reached that milestone of civilization, the corner pub in every city… er village.
