Sibeeria Tap Room

Craft Beer Petrská čtvrť, Praha 1 $$

Sibeeria Tap Room is the central Prague home of the Sibeeria brewery, set on Soukenická in the Petrská čtvrť corner of Nové Město. It runs 12 taps that rotate through the brewery's own beer, a few minutes' walk from the river and the náměstí Republiky end of the centre.

The brewery behind the bar started as a flying operation in 2014 and built its own brewhouse in the historic ČKD industrial area of Vysočany, where it has brewed since 2020. The tap room is the place to drink that beer fresh without trekking out to the production site.

The room suits drinkers who want experimental Czech craft poured by people who made it. It works less well for anyone after a quiet seated dinner, because the format is a standing-and-stools tap bar rather than a restaurant with a long menu.

The 12 taps turn over often, so the list on any given night reads as a snapshot rather than a fixed menu. Sibeeria leans into hop-forward and barrel projects alongside cleaner lagers, and the brewery is known for collaboration beers brewed with other Czech and international names.

Order whatever sits at the hazy or barrel end of the board, since that is where the brewery takes the most risks. The kitchen keeps it simple with chicken wings, and the bar even pours a beer ice cream, both of which turn up repeatedly in Tripadvisor reviews as the things to try alongside a flight.

The opening of the tap room was marked with a special release called Cryonaut, per a report on pivniweb.cz, which set the tone for a venue built around one-off and limited pours. Regulars treat the board as a reason to come back, since the rotation rarely repeats week to week.

The Soukenická address keeps Sibeeria within easy reach of the centre while staying off the worst of the tourist drag. Open daily from 3pm to 2am, it works as both an early stop and a late one, and the staff are happy to talk through the board for anyone new to the brewery.

What regulars value most is the turnover, since the board can read completely differently from one week to the next. That makes Sibeeria a place to chase a specific release rather than a fixed favourite, and the staff keep notes on what is pouring and what is coming next.

The tap room works best for a small group willing to share a flight and compare notes across the board. It is less suited to a long sit-down meal, since the kitchen stays deliberately short and the room is built around the beer rather than the plates.

For a first visit, go on a weekday evening before the late crowd builds, order a flight that spans a lager, a hazy and whatever sits at the barrel end, and finish with the beer ice cream. The Vysočany brewery's experimental side shows clearest in the one-off pours.

Sibeeria sits among the strongest of the modern Prague craft beer bars, a true brewery tap rather than a generalist multitap. It belongs on any city craft beer route, and the Prague bar guide links the nearby Nové Město and Old Town rooms for a longer evening.

The Soukenická room stays small enough that the staff can talk through every line on the board, which suits anyone newer to Czech craft and unsure where to start. The brewery's collaboration beers are worth asking about, since they bring in styles and partners the core range does not always cover. Late closing at 2am also makes Sibeeria a sound last stop after a dinner nearby, when the rotation has settled and the room has thinned to the regulars working through the board.
