What could be more Czech than drinking beer on an old tram? At Prague’s Bistro Točna, owner Jan Řídký and his business partner have turned a historical tram stop into a thriving business frequented by locals and tourists alike. I spoke with him about how he and his partner got the idea for the business, and how he hopes the space becomes a hub for culture in the city.

“I established this bistro with a friend of mine, but it’s really not my background. I work at a bank in risk management and my friend works in a marketing agency. One day we had this crazy idea to get into the gastro business, and the rest is history.”
