About Tommy's Beer Cafe

Stepping into Tommy's Beer Cafe feels like walking straight into a rustic Prague tavern, complete with cold Pilsner Urquell on tap and whole spit-roasted pork banquets. It has earned a reputation among European expats as a go-to outpost for hearty Bohemian cooking—crispy pork knuckle with crackling, roast duck over braised cabbage, and bryndzové halušky that hit every comfort cue. Out in the leafy back beer garden, tables gather over schnitzels, metre-long sausages, and chilled shots of Becherovka.

  • Czech & Slovak Tap Beers: Pours classic Central European heritage lagers on tap, including Pilsner Urquell, Gambrinus, and Kozel.
  • Whole Pig-on-the-Spit Banquets: Crowds gather for whole roasted suckling pig banquets served with hearty spreads in the back beer garden.
  • Authentic Regional Specialties: Serves regional Central European staples like svíčková na smetaně, bryndzové halušky, and metre-long sausage.

    Hosting large groups and celebrations with a dedicated whole suckling pig roasted on the spit in the garden.

    We went for the Pig-On-The-Spit Banquet and it was an absolute feast. A whole suckling pig, snacks on arrival, and a proper spread of salads and breads.
