The Top Hat has stood the test of time and tempest... gets awful cold and windy in the high plains for a SoCal kid like me. But suffice for summer is a nice late evening visit here, to see my father in law dontcha' know! ... and when in Pisek, you have to have a trip to the Top Hat.
Used to be a bar called the Blind Pig... nothing wrong with that place either, but the Top Hat keeps things down to earth and just as good of not better. This is one of those bars where one can buy a bag of ice or a twelver of beer from the cooler case. If you'd rather sit and stay a while, tables and bar stools will give you a perch to rest your laurels.
Occasionally this place gets lively, particularly when a bunch of folks on bikes passes through. Nice folks on both sides of the bar make this a great little spot. Good dinners too, if you're hungry... but I can't ever seem to figure out the kitchen hours.
Can't imagine you'd plan a trip to Pisek, but it's your loss. And if your travels bring you near, stop on and wash the bugs from your teeth with something cold here. read more
