Karlovy Vary as a town does not get too busy even during tourist season so I would not imagine having to wait very long for a seat if at all. The interior is like that of a log cabin.

We walked the entire length of the river with its mineral fountains, alternately partaking of the waters and examining restaurant menus in search of this holy grail. We had pretty much resigned ourselves to a basic nondescript meal near our apartment, when we came across this establishment, with a menu that went on for pages. One of these pages even mentioned steak tartare! So in we went and were immediately seated in the downstairs dining area between a raucous group of local women and a table of card-playing men. We ordered a dish of the aforementioned raw beef and sundry other appetizers, plus a main course for each member of a family with wildly-diverging tastes. All got what we wanted, a good time was had, and the service was excellent. Although we were inside, there is also outdoor seating as this is located in a pedestrian-only zone.

I have tried the Pilsner Urquell chain two times (previously in Prague), and both times the food delivered in flavor. Servers were pleasant and helpful. Since this is a PU chain, you only get a choice of two drafts, light or dark. Also, I wish they would wipe down the table before serving me.

If you look white and don't speak Czech at the table they assume you're German and speak to you in German (we are Dutch, I understand Czech and ordered in Czech, nevertheless the waitress kept speaking German). Unfortunately the bill presented a "various drinks 10% tax" (translated) charge of 67kc highlighted in red, which we never ordered, and never received. It's evident this is not a real tax, as we didn't order 670kc worth of drinks, so it can't be 10% tax of anything. We had two dishes, two beers and two ciders as listed, and the tax is always listed separately as DPH 10% and 21% at the bottom of the order, as it is here too (correctly). We disputed this 67kc charge and the waitress didn't want to give in/lose face, and eventually snatched the 700kc from our table and left us. If it's tax it's always listed separately, not as a 'Název'. If it's a service charge, it should be labelled 'servis' or 'obsluha' or 'tips' - it wasn't (and even that is uncommon in CZ outside tourist areas). The waitress also told us we can pay "36 euro" (written in pen on the bill) which as of the time of writing is the same as 875kc, NOT 742kc - furthermore trying to cheat us out of more money through unofficial conversion. Being cheated for the equivalent of 2.5 euros is a really low blow for a restaurant that is owned by a large brewery and we won't be coming here again. We advise anyone who does come here and speaks anything other than Czech to carefully check their bill or go to another place - you can get pub food and a beer at 5 other places in a 100 meter radius. It's a pity, because we liked the food and the previous time the bill was fine and the ambiance is good - but the manager should be aware of what their staff is doing. I'm certain if I came in alone and only ordered and paid in Czech without my Dutch speaking family, such a charge would not have appeared - as this hasn't happened to me before in the past 4 years in Czechia.

As for service, I understand what they're saying. My wife is Slovak and my friends Czech, so I didn't have to deal with the language barrier but a couple of the waiters looked like they just sucked on lemons. Sure, you could say that they were rude but I think this behavior is reserved for tourists. For some reason they don't seem to like tourists. Pathetic, I know. My advice is to just have a few of the delicious draft beers, order some chunks of hearty meat and kill the waiters with kindness laced with a bit of sarcasm. Don't let sad people spoil your experience.
