Arsenal supporters travelling to Prague for the Gunners’ Champions League clash with Slavia Prague will find plenty of places to eat, drink and watch football in the Czech capital.
Mikel Arteta’s side are scheduled to face Slavia at Fortuna Arena on Wednesday, November 4, with kick-off at 21:00 local time.
With the match taking place in the evening, supporters arriving early can spend the day exploring Prague before finding a pub to enjoy a few drinks and build up to the game.
From British-style sports bars to lively Irish pubs and traditional Czech beer halls, there are several options for Arsenal fans looking for a convenient base in the city centre.
FootballGroundGuide takes a look at some of the best places to eat and drink in Prague.
Best pubs in Prague for Arsenal fans
Londoners Sports Bar
Address: Stepanska 23, New Town, Prague 1
Londoners is one of the most suitable options for Arsenal supporters who want a British-style pub atmosphere while watching football abroad.
Located in Prague’s New Town, close to Wenceslas Square, the venue has screens throughout its two floors and advertises coverage of both the Premier League and Champions League. Its drinks menu includes Czech beer, imported stouts, ales and ciders, while the kitchen serves British pub favourites and Indian curries.
There is also a games room with pool and darts, giving supporters something to do before or after the match. Londoners does not take reservations, according to its website, so arriving early is advisable on a busy football night. Fans should contact the bar to confirm coverage of the Slavia Prague fixture before travelling.
Rocky O’Reilly’s Irish Pub
Address: Stepanska 32, New Town, Prague 1
Rocky O’Reilly’s is another strong choice for travelling football supporters, particularly those looking for a lively atmosphere and food throughout the day.
The Irish pub shows major football competitions, including the Premier League and Champions League, on its big screens. Its menu combines Irish favourites with international dishes, while breakfast is available throughout the day. The kitchen is listed as open from 10:00 until 23:30, making the venue a useful option for supporters arriving early for an evening kick-off.
Live music and karaoke also feature in the pub’s entertainment offering, so the atmosphere can continue long after the football has finished.
Rocky O’Reilly’s accepts group bookings and advises that reservations are worth considering for major sporting events, when the venue can become busy. Arsenal fans travelling in larger groups should check availability in advance.
McCarthy’s Irish Pub
Address: Rytirska 10, Old Town, Prague 1
Situated in Prague’s Old Town, McCarthy’s is a convenient option for supporters staying around the historic centre.
The venue advertises live coverage of the Premier League and Champions League, alongside other major sports, across two floors with large screens. Its central location makes it a practical meeting point for groups who want to spend time sightseeing before settling down to watch football.
McCarthy’s also offers food and drink, live music and karaoke, providing more than just a place to catch the match. Its website has a live-sport schedule and a table-booking option, so supporters can check whether the Arsenal fixture is being shown and arrange a place before setting off.
For fans who want to remain in the city centre rather than travel towards Fortuna Arena early in the day, McCarthy’s is worth considering.
The Irish Times Bar
Address: Karlova 20, Old Town, Prague 1
The Irish Times Bar is another central option for Arsenal fans looking for a pub with food, drinks and live sport.
Located on Karlova Street, around a short walk from Charles Bridge and Old Town Square, the bar combines an Irish-pub setting with an international and traditional Irish menu. Food is served throughout the day, and there is an outdoor terrace, alongside live music and sports coverage.
Its location makes it particularly useful for supporters who want to combine sightseeing with a pre-match drink. The terrace is an added attraction when the weather allows, while the central setting means there are plenty of other bars and restaurants nearby.
The venue has advertised major football events, including Arsenal matches, in the past. However, supporters should check its latest schedule or contact the bar directly to confirm plans for the Slavia Prague game.
Where to eat in Prague before the match
U Glaubicu
Address: Malostranske namesti 266/5, Lesser Town, Prague 1
For supporters keen to try traditional Czech food, U Glaubicu offers a different experience from the city’s British-style and Irish sports bars.
The pub-restaurant is situated on Lesser Town Square, on the western side of the Vltava River, and serves classic Czech dishes alongside beer.
Its historic setting and cellar spaces make it an appealing stop for fans exploring the area around Prague Castle and Charles Bridge.
U Glaubicu is better suited to a sit-down meal and a taste of local pub culture than to a dedicated football-watching session. Arsenal fans planning to eat here should check the menu and allow enough time to reach their chosen pub or the stadium afterwards.
Traditional Czech pubs
Prague also has plenty of traditional pubs serving local lager and hearty Czech food, including dishes such as goulash, schnitzel and dumplings. These can be a good alternative for supporters who want to sample the local cuisine rather than spend the whole trip in Irish or British-style bars.
One option is Lokal U Jirata on Vodičkova Street in New Town, which focuses on Czech pub food and beer. Its central location makes it convenient for anyone exploring the city before heading towards a sports bar.
These traditional venues should not automatically be treated as places to watch the match, however. If seeing the game is the priority, check the live-sport schedule at your chosen pub first.
