Perhaps you are wondering about a place called Jama. Jama means The Hollow. It is a lively cellar bar that opened in 1994.
Jama is near Wenceslas Square. Surprisingly, it is more popular with locals and expatriates than tourists. Inside Jama, you will find a fun upbeat atmosphere with friendly service. Cool music plays from the speakers. Sometimes there is live Jazz and Blues.
The walls are decorated with posters. These posters feature pop culture icons, musicians, and famous movies. Jama has a large menu that offers tasty Tex-Mex cuisine. Be careful because it is rather spicy by Czech standards.
The specialty of The Hollow is their burgers. The burgers are fresh meaty and huge. The burritos are gigantic and come with a vegetarian option.
Every Sunday during the American football season, Jama hosts NFL nights. They offer inexpensive hot wings and plenty of beer. Tuesday is Hamburger day. You can get Mexican Swiss American Cajun and Jerk burgers. Exotically spiced gourmet steaks are the specialty on Wednesdays.
Jama tends to be very busy during the evening. It is best to call ahead and reserve a table.
Once Jama was a buzzing American-style bar one of the best in Prague. However a recent renovation has left it searching for an identity. Jama has a decent garden at the rear. This is a pleasant place for a drink in the summer sunshine. In winter you are confined to the pub itself. The interior is rather stark. The decor needs more warmth.
Jama Garden Pub is in a good location. It is close to Wenceslas Square and Rocky O Reillys Irish Pub. This location attracts both tourists and local Czechs.
The pub has an inviting large cellar layout. Perhaps there are plans to renovate the interior more.
The staff at Jama are friendly. They will ensure you are never short of a drink. Jama offers good draught Czech beers as well as wines spirits and cocktails. Because Jama is on a back street the prices are reasonable. Jama Steakhouse is its sister restaurant.
Jama is a place of contrasts. It is a cellar bar a garden pub and a restaurant. Jama blends American style with Czech tradition. It offers a space for locals expatriates and tourists to enjoy food drinks and good company.
