Prague Pub Crawl: 4 Blocks, 20 Pubs, 20 Beers, $20 Spent

In the last few years, much of Prague's nightlife has shifted from the center (too expensive, too many tourists) to the neighborhood of Zizkov in the Prague 3 working class district. Consequently, Zizkov is my favorite neighborhood for going out. Let me be clear, there ain't many martini bars to be found here, although a few have popped up. Rather, you will find old school pubs still selling beer for less than $1.

The main artery of pub life in Zizkov is Borivojova street. Its 4-block stretch from Lipanska street to Riegrovy sady has some 20-30 drinking establishments. Weekend after weekend, seasoned drinkers come here to try to accomplish the impossible: stop at each pub and have a beer. We are talking half-liters, too. According to the Prague Post, nobody has been able to do it yet.

Even in a country with universal health care, there cannot be enough liver transplants to go around.
