Brass kettles sit up front in a very open large room that was not noisy. We had four of them - from the American Pale Ale, a pale lager, a NEIPA and a Citra focused IPA We order a bit of food off the "Beer Food" menu which took a bit of time to get to the table but was fine - chips, onion rings and a sausage. All in all - a good stop if you are a beer hunter. Had to update when I got the bill....$28US = 7 beers and three light appetizers. Gotta love this country and the Beer Factory !

Staff spoke English and menu was in three different languages except today's special lunch. I tried to speak a little bit of Czech I know but they just smiled and said close enough.

If you take a tour here, you'll get to see where and how Pilsners are made. To be honest, before…read morecoming here, I had no idea what a Pilsner was because I'm not a big beer drinker, but I knew what one was after leaving here. It's a hoppy-tasting beer enjoyed around the world made famous in the city of Plzeň. From the moment you step into the brewery, you're greeted with a sense of history and tradition that has been meticulously preserved. The guided tour is both informative and engaging, taking you through the brewery's origins and the meticulous brewing process. The highlight, of course, is the chance to sample the original Pilsner Urquell directly from the oak barrels in the cellars - a unique experience that truly sets this tour apart. The tour guides are knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating stories about the brewery's rich history and its pivotal role in shaping the lager style of beer. The facilities are immaculate, and the blend of historic charm with modern efficiency is impressive. Now let's talk about the beer. Pilsner Urquell is simply divine. The crisp, refreshing taste of the lager is even more delightful when enjoyed on-site, paired with the beautiful setting of the brewery. Even though I'm not a beer drinker, I enjoyed my sample that came straight from the barrell, and everybody else on the tour said that a Pilsner in the Czech Republic tastes better than anywhere else. (I'll have to take their word for it.) There's a gift shop at the end of the tour, it's a little pricey, but I was able to snag a few magnets and a pair of socks for cheap. All in all, whether you're a beer aficionado or just looking for an interesting day out, Pilsner Urquell Brewery offers an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Czech Republic!

There are two flores inside. Lower one is more like restaurant and upper one more like pub. Local tex-mex cousine is very good. I recommend the ribs or chicken wings. But most of the people goes there just for a drink. They have pretty good choice of beer, icluding Guiness (draught), Kilkenny (bottle) or Corona (bottle). Choice of whisky is not really big, but not so bad either. And I really like the atmosphere. Always friendly and cool. I say 4,5 stars (toilets could be cleaner). BTW: It´s the best place in the Czech Republic to celebrate St. Pat´s day, even if it´s really crowded. Trust me. No irish pub in Prague is coming even close to the level of Zach´s pub. Live music, no restrictions on the choice of songs (as it is in Prague´s irish pubs), great atmosphere, whisky competitions and most of the visitors are students (including those international ones). So it was, it is and it will be my favourite place to celebrate St. Pat´s day in CR.
