The first written reference with respect to the U Fleků brewery dates back to 1499, when the building was purchased by Vít Skřemenec, a malt house owner. (Columbus discovered America in 1492.) The U Fleků brewery is the only brewery in Central Europe which has been brewing beer for 500 straight years. When communists came to power the business was nationalised and after the fall of the communist regime the restaurant and the brewery were returned to the original owners in 1991, the Brtník family.
The atmosphere of the ancient house is accentuated by wall decorations and stylish equipment of individual pub rooms and lounges. From the most famous and unique, The Academy, where 19th century personalities of Czech culture used to meet, and Václavka with colourful grisaille glass windows, to The Sausage with Gothic arc ceiling and the Knight’s Hall that was renovated and furnished in the Romantic style.
Eight lounges and restaurant rooms of the U Fleků brewery and restaurant can accommodate up to 1,200 guests, be it in the private environment of The Suitcase or The Academy, or in The Cabaret lounge for 200 guests, where the cabaret performances take place.
The building, where the U Fleků restaurant can be found, has rich history – and its present is just as rich. Some will always treat it as a pilgrim’s place for beer fans from Prague and the whole country, whereas other people will consider it to be an interesting point of interest for tourists, definitely one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Czech Republic, and it is surely the most famous pub in Prague. It has also become a place that offers culinary experiences. The personnel of a modernly furbished kitchen will satisfy the requirements of the most demanding gourmets – by offering them traditional Czech cuisine dishes.
Thanks to all of the above, the U Fleků restaurant is the most appropriate venue for special celebrations, banquets, feasts or social events and evening parties that our guests (You) prepare for the end of this year, and not just that. The U Fleků restaurant offers the organisation of cultural or musical programme in The Cabaret lounge. We can provide turn-key events in terms of programme and food in compliance with your wishes, so that you can be truly satisfied.
