Kavarna Trojka: Wine in Glass, Pillows on Ceiling Clubs & Bars Review

Trojka is a gorgeously vaulted street level cafe bar in central Brno that is frequented by the student and creative circle.

Deep window bays offer sofas and relaxing opportunities, with a pleasant view out onto Dominikanska, otherwise it's go elbow to elbow with the rest of the crowd in the drinking, smoking and chatting stakes. Books on the shelf, beer in the mug, student art on the walls, wine down the throat, pillows on the ceiling.

There is also a non-smoking section, and a pleasant outdoor seating area in the courtyard out back in the warm months. Trojka also offers a full range of live music, DJs and performances several times a week.

The atmosphere is pretty relaxed, although it does get very smoky and boozy late on - I wouldn't be surprised if someone's overdone it before and tried setting their head down on one of those pillows on the ceiling!

Might be a bit difficult to blend in if you aren't cut from that type of cloth, but this is a top hangout for the creatively minded in Brno.

Dress Code: Anything goes, preferably a bit grubby.

Address: Dominanske 9

Directions: Find the main entrance of Velky Spalicek shopping center in Central Brno. Facing the doors, make a right then follow Dominikanska street up the hill. The entrance for Trojka is just inside an archway on the left.

The Immigrant Pub: A Little Spot of Sanctuary. Clubs & Bars Review

If I'd only had the money, I'd have beaten them to it!

The Immigrant pub is the first place in Brno that truly caters to the needs of the English-speaking Expat community, as well as the travel weary visitor, and anyone else who wants to join in.

Situated a fair stomp out of the town centre, this pleasant non-smoking pub offers great burgers and full Irish breakfasts...and by that, I mean 'proper' bacon, sausages, and even black pudding.

Draught Guiness and cider is available; this place gets packed, and there's not that much in the way of seating. The atmosphere gets pretty raucous as people get tanked up - sing-a-longs on the piano, as well as regular live music in the evenings.

Friendly staff, football on the telly, and regulars who are always up for a chat. Small outdoor seating area in the summer.

Join their Facebook page for regular updates on what's up and coming, and to also see what you've missed out on!

Dress Code: Whatever's good for you.

Address: Veveri 57

Directions: Probably the easiest way to get there is to take the 12 or 13 tram to Konecneho Namesti, then follow Veveri down the hill for about 100m. You'll see the Guiness sign on the right!

MJU:Z (Muzejka): MJU:Z, the bar formerly known as Muzejka. Clubs & Bars Review

Like the titchy pop egomaniac Prince, the beerhall, restaurant and dance club formerly known as Muzejka has done something silly to it's name. It's now called MJU:Z (pronounced "Myuse" apparently), ensuring everyone will ignore the ridiculous rebranding and keep on calling it "Muzejka", just like they always did.

Apart from that, the only other noticeable changes are the beer has switched to draught ten degree Radegast, and the all-conquering Pilsner Urquell from the tank; and the menu has been stream-lined and "Designed" by Vilem Harasta and his team. Pork knee, goulash, schnitzel, svickova - Mr Harasta and his think tank of culinary experts must have spent nights around the coffeepot and ashtray brainstorming that selection.

Of course, it's always easy to take the ***, so enough of all that. What it really all boils down to is that Muzejka is situated in one of central Brno's most gorgeous venues, with it's high, vaulted ceilings in the downstairs restaurant, and its warm coloured, softly lit upstairs pub.

The atmosphere is relaxed and chatty, frequented by a young, fresh crowd. Non-smoking nowadays, the service is friendly and English-speaking (mostly), if a little on the slow side. The upstairs pub also has a billiard table and flatscreen TVs for the live sport.

Happy hour 3pm - 6pm serves Pilsner for an eye-catching 29czk. In the cellar is a dance club.

Dress Code: Whatever's good for you, but if you decide to wear your mink coat, there's a cloakroom at the entrance where they'll look after it for you.

Address: Moravské náměstí 15, Brno

Directions: Nearest tram stop - Moravské náměstí. Once you've found Moravské náměstí, you can't really miss it - Muzejka's the large grey building on the end, in the square's top right hand corner.

Sport Bar Na Moravaku: Brno's Best Spot for Live Sports... Clubs & Bars Review

If you're a sports fan tired of suffering the whims and indignities at the capricious "Kings Head", and weary of straining your neck to watch your game on a 14" TV across the other side of the room at "Arena", you'll rejoice to know there is a better option!

"Na Moravaku" is a decent, no-nonsense bar on Moravske Namesti that does what every decent sports bar should do - it lists what games are being shown in the window, then when the time comes round, they put it on the bigscreen. And the staff will let you watch the game, and even let you have the sound turned up. Perfect!

It is quite a small place, so it's worth reserving a table for a game you really want to see. The website, although in Czech, helpfully lists all upcoming events under "Aktuality".

There's two big screens, one in the main bar area, and one in the smaller non-smoking lounge. The beer's OK, the staff are reasonably friendly, and there's a small menu of snack food, featuring the usual suspects, such as pickled cheese and klobasa sausages.

Dress Code: Not a topic.

Hospoda U Bernadyna: Great View, Good Beer - Just Avoid the Toilets! Clubs & Bars Review

In my Brno guide, I'm not going to review every single dodgy bar in the city - I'll certainly be reviewing quite a few of them, particularly the more interesting or insalubrious options. However, the days are gone when I'd roll up into any stinking dive and have a few beers, no matter how filthy or sinister the company, I used to be quite fearless in that respect. But these days, I'm more discerning - there's just not much value hanging around in places you need to know where the exits are before ordering a beer!

At first glance, the dishevelled beer shack U Bernardyna may seem to fit the category quite well, with it's thickly nicotine clogged interior, drunken regulars who never seem to leave, gambling parlour in the back, and perhaps the vilest toilets in Brno.

Situated right on the busy intersection of Nove Sady and Hybesova, on a scrappy weed-infested stretch of concrete, the pub has a thrown-together, transitory look to it.

When it's warm enough though, and right through the summer, the pub's outdoor benches are actually a pretty good spot for a beer. You can order through the bars of the window, so you don't even have to experience the indoor section, and the beer is cheap and cold. Plus it has a rather astonishing view of the Cathedral (Kostel svatého Petra a Pavla) - perhaps one of the best in the city. You'd be paying aroung 80czk a beer for a show-stopping view of a major landmark in Prague, but here in Brno it's peanuts.

The outside section even has a slightly country n' western theme to it, which used to be highlighted by the lettering on the pub's sign, previously done in the kind of font you'd expect to see on a 'Wanted' poster. The wood cladding perhaps helps, or maybe it's the company, or the speakers hanging outside, which incessantly plays a local C&W channel on the radio.

Just a word on those toilets - I've visited some pretty taxing rest rooms during my travels around Central and Eastern Europe, and this probably drops into my Bottom Five of filthy, urine-encrusted, flyblown bogs, somewhere just behind the toilets at Belgrade train station.

On a brighter note, this is also a good spot during the city's annual firework festival (Ignis Brunensis - May/June) - usually at least one show is over the cathedral, and if you can get a seat, this is as good a spot as any to have a drink and watch the pretty lights.

So not 100% recommended then, but certainly worth mentioning if you fancy an alternative spot for a couple of beers in the sunshine.

Dress Code: The more you look like you've slept in your clothes, the better.

Address: Nove Sady 5, Brno

Directions: Nearest tram stop - Soukenická. It's also a short walk from the main station (Hlavni Nadrazi) along Nádražní on the left hand side, across the crossing and you're there.
