My dear Watson, you will, I trust, forgive my intrusion upon your evening, but I feel compelled to report the discovery of a most curious establishment, opened 4th of October, 2025, in the Prague district of Karlín.
The entrance, Watson, is nothing short of elementary perfection.
Your faithful companion’s deerstalker and Inverness cape are displayed with reverence, as if awaiting my next case.
Within, the theme is maintained with remarkable consistency — even the placemats bear the mark of deduction.
The staff were of excellent temperament — efficient, amiable, and commendably observant. Prices (Oct 2025) were acceptable: a half-litre of Ostravar Mustang for 75 Kč and a half-litre of Guinness for 129 Kč.
I partook of the fish and chips (415 Kč). Though the wait approached half an hour, the result justified the delay — crisp, freshly battered fillets accompanied by a tartar sauce of distinction. The chips were well cooked, though lacking the robust substance of an English seaside variety. A portion of mushy peas, I believe, would complete the illusion.
One of the proprietors, an Italian gentleman of lively enthusiasm, professed admiration for your chronicles and explained that his business partner is English. He conducted me to a downstairs room where the Holmesian theme continues unabated.
I suggested that the venue would serve admirably for one of those Murder Mystery soirées you once insisted on attending at Klub Commedia in Malá Strana.
The conveniences are spotless and modern, though I note with professional precision that the gentlemen’s hand-dryer lacks sufficient power. The ladies’ room, however, is better appointed — a fact that, I suspect, would please Miss Irene Adler.
In conclusion, my dear friend, I commend the Dear Watson Pub to you without reservation. Even those unfamiliar with your chronicles would find themselves transported to an English hostelry of respectable character. The food and service are beyond reproach and though I confined my investigation to the fish and chips, I have no doubt that further inquiry would yield equally satisfactory results.
Yours ever,
Sherlock Holmes
