Quality of Drinks
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Pilsner Urquell disciples, the usual quasi-religious approach to pour and presentation with some alternatives, including the Volba Sladku, Prazdroj’s monthly special creation on tap. Typical back bar.
Style/
Décor
❤️❤️❤️❤️
L-shaped Pilsner Urquell Original restaurant with raised areas decorated with heritage signage from the brewery and historic merchandise. Furnished with the usual dark wood tables, but lacking any social bench seats, and there are quite a lot of high tables.

Character
❤️❤️❤️❤️
A very popular social hub which drives the atmosphere score higher, naturally. Something of an institution which counts in its favour.

A little higher than average which can be typical with such places, but nothing any Westerner would flinch at.
DescriptionFor a few years we have to admit we were a little sniffy about including Pilsner Urquell Original Restaurants on the guide given so many are cut from the same cloth. We missed out on this one which shows a little more flair and originality than some as well as having dedicated drinking space, which overall makes it feel like more of a social venue than a restaurant.

The L-shape on different levels helps, with high tables opposite the bar. Pilsner is of course presented and poured immaculately and service is also decent. The decoration is familiar but well executed with historic Plzensky Prazdroj (Pilsner brewery) signage and branding.

You can’t say much more than well done, well-executed and if you have the time to go here for a beer, do so.
