It is not really necessary to introduce the “U Fleků” brewery and restaurant. Perhaps everybody who has walked down the Křemencová street has kept in mind a richly decorated clock on the brewery’s facade that asks everybody to visit any of the several rooms of the restaurant. And everybody who has come in has kept in mind, or better on the tongue, a delicious and unique taste of “U Fleků” 13° lager. Up to now the lager has been brewed according to old recipes, but in a newly furnished setting with the same care as in the time of our great grandfathers. The “U Fleků” brewery celebrates its 500th anniversary since it was founded in 1499.

• The atmosphere of the old “U Fleků” building is emphasized in the individual rooms and halls of the restaurant by the interior decoration and stylish furnishings. Starting with the most famous and most original one, called “Akademie” (Academy), where in the last century famous figures of Czech history used to meet, through “Václavka” with its stained glass, to “Jitrnice” (Sausage) with a Gothic vault and to “Rytířský sál” (Knights’ Hall) furnished in romantic style. In its eight rooms and halls the “U Fleků” brewery restaurant can serve more than 1200 guests at once, either in the intimate setting of the “Kufr” (Suitcase) or “Akademie” or in the “Kabaret” (Cabaret) hall with 200 seats, where the “U Fleků” cabaret takes place.
• The history and modern times of the “U Fleků” building is diverse. For one it represents a pilgrim place of Prague and Czech beer drinkers, for another it represents an interesting historic sight from a tourist point of view – one of the most visited within the country. “U Fleků” is without a doubt the most famous Prague pub. Today it is a place of culinary experiences. Our staff in our newly equipped kitchen can satisfy the requirements of even the pickiest gourmets with their offer of traditional old Czech dishes.

Tour of the Brewery

The U FLEKU restaurant takes pride in its own brewery, especially the historic brewing house from the beginning of the century, the stacked cooling vats and the fermentors in the fermentation cellar made, according to old specifications, of oak wood. The brewery received its present look during the 1986 reconstruction that resulted in a modern, but unique historic brewery. F

Tour of the Brewery Museum

In 1999, to celebrate the 500th anniversary of beer production in the Brewery “U Fleků”, the brewery museum was newly opened in the former malt house building. The renovated exhibition area is home to samples of brewery machinery, tools and tanks. The museum also shows the old history of beer production in Prague. The most interesting part of the museum is a Renaissance room where malt used to be dried by means of hot smoke from burning wood. The museum perfectly matches the romantic setting of the Brewery “U Fleků” and thus enhances its unique atmosphere.
