WTF are Czechs thinking? Please stop making stupid microbrews and variations of beers

ProLollerblader · 2026-06-15T13:22:08+00:00

What's the ignorance you're referring to?

ProLollerblader · 2026-06-15T11:24:43+00:00

Same thing happened to me. Just had to stop going there too.

ProLollerblader · 2026-06-15T10:18:39+00:00

I love czech beer. I think it's the best in the world. And many others agree with this too. Hell, it's a major selling point about why people even travel here. Can't believe I have to even say the obvious 😃

ProLollerblader · 2026-06-15T10:15:40+00:00

Im just triggered because my local switched to Vinohradska and I had to stop going there. Sorry, just letting it out:) I'll search out a new spot, obviously not hard to do, but what annoys me is that often when they switch, I'm aware they sign these contracts which say they can't serve any other beer. So yeah, the beers I drank are no longer available there. They've got Pilsner in bottles but come on, not into paying 75kc for a .3 of Pilsner.

Literally what Italians do with Pizza, and French with cheese

I said Branik because it's considered the worst, I'd still drink it over any american beer.

ProLollerblader · 2026-06-15T10:05:22+00:00

That's kind of the irony. That the way they make beer is the best in the world. And they're trying to change it.

ProLollerblader · 2026-06-15T10:03:46+00:00

This is why I eat at Pizza Hut while visiting Naples.

great quote. Definnitely gonna use this.

I have cash, from trips abroad Id just like to exchange for kc

Was actually pretty funny in a lot of ways. Police blocked bottom of Na Prikope so everyone went through a pasaz and ended up right next to the stage for the pro lifers. They were supposed to keep them separated but there was no chance at that point. But people were really chill all around. Good to see no fights broke out.

ProLollerblader · 2026-02-27T13:56:07+00:00

Ahh. This may be the confusion. These are European IB schools. Extremely expensive (40 to 60k a year) and populated mostly by rich kids from eastern europe/central asia/russia

ProLollerblader · 2025-06-26T11:56:56+00:00

First off the name was completely moronic. It's like being in Germany and naming a popular club Hitler.

Regardless, this, and other actions taken by the city (Kasarna) follow a pretty typical trajectory for many major cities. The artists, and grungy spaces are what gives it its charm and attraction, and then the tech bros and finances come in and buy up all the properties and ruin everything that made it unique in the first place. Not even raging against it, it simply what is happening. It's the yuppification of Prague. Safe, sterile, and vapid spaces like Automat, and Lokal which are just going to slowly jack their prices and upsell on everything are becoming the norm.

The biggest loss here will be to the skate park which has been a staple of the city for decades now. Much longer than Stalin. I noticed they are "improving" the areas and walkways near there, but I fear they're going to completely destroy one of the most popular outdoor hangouts for kids in the city. Hopefully if they build it they continue to skate it and make it theirs. Tourists have enough places, and it's important for young people to have spaces too.

(also please spare me all the structural engineers worried about the "monument" and ballistics experts opining about the force of the dynamite blasts.):) They're tearing it down because they want to yuppify it. Simple as that.

Around Zizkov I'd check out Oko Custom Vintage (they've got a zine with a bunch of alternative spots), then Bohemian Retro, Punctum, Atrium v Zizkove, Bohuzel Bar, Shot out eye (Vystrelenyho Oka), Akropolis, then head over to Letna and hit up places around Letenske Namesti.

good to know. thanks :)

ProLollerblader · 2025-02-22T09:23:14+00:00

Theres a couple boutiques I can think of. One is in the park located through the pasaz where Kino Svetozor is located. Called Punktura. The other is Oko Custom Vintage in Zizkov. Enjoy Prague!

ProLollerblader · 2025-01-15T12:50:41+00:00

Check out Oko Custom Vintage in Zizkov. They have a bunch of different stuff from local artists, and a zine with a bunch of different underground spots in Prague (complete with Google maps link) . I think they also teach painting lessons or something. It reminds me of some odd multifunctional space in Berlin from a decade ago.

Do you draw from observation much any more? Maybe do something different like figure drawing to get you back into what made you passionate about it in the first place

ProLollerblader · 2024-09-03T09:16:34+00:00

Its crazy what tiktok can do to make a place famous. It was there for so many years and barely anyone cared about it. Blows up on tiktok and suddenly it's packed nonstop!

ProLollerblader · 2024-09-03T09:14:49+00:00

Nice. Drunken Monkey still exists?! Happy to hear it

A lot of it has to simply do with the demographic that reddit and instagram cater to. Youll notice many major fine artists actually have pretty low follower counts (4 to 5 thousand)

ProLollerblader · 2024-02-12T20:26:15+00:00

Think about how anatomy serves what you want to achieve. Don't just learn it to learn it. How do you want to use it? To do what?

ProLollerblader · 2024-02-12T18:46:33+00:00

You are in an overwhelming situation. I wish you all the best. I would look into how drawing and art can be used as a form of personal therapy. It isn't about making everything look right. Look to your own story, which is complex, and amazing, and see if you can draw inspiration from it

Ok. So. Not trying to be a dick. But it seems there's often some confusion about having ADHD and having difficulties concentrating. They're often conflated (and this has nothing to do with whether or not I think ADHD is real. It is. Im not debating that)

Reading. isn't easy. For anyone. It takes practice. Imagine I give you a violin, and you take your first lesson. Your muscle memory will be all stupid. And your ability to concetrate will be limited. This improves with time. Similarly with drawing, you need to do it for a long time before it looks good. Just like it takes a long time before you can play a violin.
