Sobo 151 Is Baker's Neighborhood Czech Bar

A longtime favorite in Baker, with not one but three excellent karaoke nights.

The writer describes a welcoming, mixed crowd — twenty-somethings, older regulars keeping Sinatra and Deep Purple alive on the karaoke list, punk rockers, hipsters and European soccer fans in their club jerseys.

Becherovka at Sobo 151

Hold the apple strudel; I'll have another Becherovka.

A Prague-loving writer discovers Becherovka at Sobo 151, ordered by a friend as "Santa Claus's blood." She traces the herbal liqueur's history — first sold in 1807 as a medicinal tonic flavored with aniseed, cinnamon and dozens of other herbs — and compares it to Fernet and Jägermeister.
