Al Capone's: The garbage collectors truck is throwing an orange strobe-light through the narrow bar as I drink my beer and Eminem screams "DIE, b*tch, DIE!"

 

Al Capone's Prague

P
eople squeeze in and out of the narrow front entrance, through to the middle section of a few stools and small tables, where the world's worst portrait hangs, and back to the wider lounge area in the back.

 

The shadowy Bartolomejska, where the STB had a station and where Vaclav Havel was imprisoned, is a street of escapes, one of dim streetlights casting a sepulchral glow on the cobblestones - and Al Capone's fits right into the spell, a perfect place to start a bad but passionate love affair or get your ass kicked.

 

Waxing on this, I turn to an attractive but depraved looking girl at the bar and ask her how the parek is that she's thoughtfully chewing.

 

"This is actually a klobasa," she says languidly, looking into my eyes, "it's a thicker, fatter sausage and I prefer it."

 

Al Capone's is that kind of place. People actually say things like that here.


Bartolomejska, Prague 1, Czech Republic, Metro: Narodni trida, Tram: 6, 9, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 51, 54, 58
