Changes in the Cafe, Changes in Mala Strana

The original bookstore/cafe in Vrsovice has far fewer books! Still books, just not as many. We have reduced our stock in the cafe while we have greatly expanded our Mala Strana bookstore to include a beautiful second level. The cafe at Krymska is still going strong however, and the back room is now being used as a smoke-free portion of the cafe, a space for readings and events, and as a cinema, complete with a large screen for our twice-weekly free film nights.

SHAKESgalerie

The Mala Strana store has expanded to include a new downstairs level, a part of which houses SHAKESgalerie. Now moving onto it's third exhibit, the gallery is holding shows and taking submissions from both local and international artists. For information on upcoming/current shows and openings, see our upcoming events section or join our facebook group, SHAKESgalerie.
