As our final hurrah in Prague, we wanted a beer at the Golden Tiger. That name is the translated version of its Czech name (U Zlateho Tygra), and this pub is well-known for being one of the few very traditional pubs still in Prague; in fact, then-President Havel (of Czech Republic) brought Bill Clinton here in 1994 to show him what a true Czech pub was like.

We went immediately after returning to Prague from Budapest, tired and angry due to several travel-related issues. Luckily we found a seat, which is unusual as this is a very small and popular place, and ordered our beers — done by merely looking at one of the circulating waiters. Whether it was due to our anger, thirst, exhaustion, or something else, we quickly found our beer mugs empty (our 0.5L beers mugs). We subtley signaled the waiter for the next round and immediately there were two more mugs in front of us. Down they went, too. The best liter of beer I’ve ever drank.

Anyway, a great end to a great trip.
