One on One Glen Emery - one of the architects of Prague's "left bank of the 1990s" whose bar inspired Nick Cave
My guest for One on One this week is Canadian native Glen Emery, who was one of the first foreign entrepreneurs to begin operating in the Prague pub trade shortly after the Velvet Revolution. In the early 1990s, Prague had a reputation as a new "left bank", as thousands of young American and other Western ex-pats descended on the city attracted by cheap beer and the exuberant atmosphere that surrounded a society which was busy letting its hair down after forty years of communist oppression. One of the focal points of this new Bohemian scene was Jo's Bar, which Emery opened in 1992 and which had a well deserved reputation as a hotbed of unrestrained hedonism.
