Last meal in the Czech Republic, recommended by a local. Service was above average. We tried several local dishes--the duck was the best, while the chicken salad was the weakest (large pieces, bland dressing). They don't split credit card bills, and a 10% service charge was added, which is unusual in Europe. Overall , I gave it 3.5 stars read more

So I went for the experience as a beer nerd. And I am glad I did. Make a reservation in advance cause this place is super busy. Our group ordered a variety of things and everything was good. No complaints. And of course the beer was great! Our service was ok. The restaurant is pretty. read more

We just stopped for beers and to see the hidden beer garden in back which is pretty cool. Some folks we met earlier on in our European travels told us about this place so we stopped in. The beer garden is wedged in between a church and an old wall - it is quite a fun setting. When we ordered beers despite the menu showing a few to choose from they only had one - the local beer that is everywhere and not my favorite. Another down side was that the servers were a bit brusk. We did not order food so I cannot comment on the quality. It is worth checking out the beer garden and don't forget to watch out for the pigeons (see attached photo). read more

Outstanding pig feet and bread dumplings. The portion is huge and I had a hard time finishing the huge pig feet, but in terms of the flavor, everything was perfect. The food came out very quickly and the service was very professional. I had a good time! read more

Food was just ok. Servers were unfriendly and almost angry when asked questions. I won't go back. Gross pork knuckle. Like rubber on the outside. read more

Loved this spot so much we went twice while in Prague! Food and service were amazing. I wish I got the name of our curly haired waitress cuz she was the best - she recognized our return immediately and brought over a shot of plum wine to share with us. The most incredible duck I've ever tasted and I'd give anything for some more beer cheese but really everything was amazing. It's a must! read more

Really enjoyed our meal of Czech favorites here. Food was tasty and high quality, beer was great, and service was very good. I especially liked the way they prepared the cucumber salad side dish. Highly recommend. read more

Founded by Jacob Pinkas in 1843, the Restaurace U Pinkasu is the first in Prague to serve Pilsner Erquell with traditional Czech fare. Situated between towering cathedral walls, the beer garden has an old world atmosphere, they serve up traditional Czech fare in quantity. My only complaint is the hurried pours of Erquell are too much snyt (foam head). read more

Is this one restaurant or is this a bunch of different restaurants in the same space? I don't know that we ever worked that out, but we entered, caught the waiters attention, and were seated at a table then brought menus. Menus in Czech, English, German and possibly Russian. Orders placed (avoid the white wine, it was awful) and food arrived in a reasonable time. I had the beef goulash which was pretty good. Decently plated and served with slices of bread/dumpling that went well with the rich sauce. My friend had the roast pork with dumplings and it was okay. Not great. Beers were cold and the bathroom (down a flight of steep stairs) was clean. A little noisy but not excessively so. [Review 12252 overall, 2036 of 2019.] read more

This is a local place in the heart of touristy area. Somehow you'd think it might be yet another place full of tourists but you'd be surprised. Locals eat here and you'll get the experience of dining in a Czech restaurant pretty fully. Decent food, decent price - service is Eastern/Central European! As an American you might be taken back by the straight forward, short interactions but that's the way things work here. I'm not gonna give any negative points to the service because of that. It was precise, timely and you don't get a server over your head who asks "how's everything tasting". The menu is pretty extensive and has a whole bunch of meat and very few vegetarian options. As one should expect again in Eastern/Central Europe. We dined 6 people (6 entrees, 8 beers, 2 salads) and our check total came out to $110!!!! The prices are very good. Add this to your list read more

The food was good and priced well but the service was terrible. We had a reservation and upon arrival we were sat outside where it was crowded and confusing. After ordering the drinks before dinner upon being served rather rudely by the waitress, we were told it was cash only. I went back inside and asked the guy who directed us outside and he said while he did not know about the patio, inside they accepted credit cards. While they are the same restaurant apparently two different billing systems. So I asked to eat inside and we paid cash for the drinks and went inside and ordered from the same menu and were able to pay by credit card. The waiter was as rude as the patio waitress and seemed annoyed we were there despite only three tables inside having guests. They don't want your business so go elsewhere. First we were read more

Pilsner Urquell! This is the first bar in Czech Republic to ever serve Pilsner Urquell! They've been open since 1843. Since they've been pouring Pilsner Urquell for so long, they know what they're doing- how to pour it, how to make you feel comfortable. I came in to a busy bar, standing room only, and got the house beer- Urquell, served in heavy glasses with handles. The bartender wasn't exactly friendly, but I got a cold one in no time. This place just looks historic! I like the restrooms, where you have to hike down a steep staircase, where there's a single table for 2 set up in the staircase. Weird. The other cool thing is that someone mints coins for this place, where you can forever commemorate your visit numismatically! The beer was cheap- this is not really a place for tourists, it seems. But the people were nice and friendly! I had a great time here. It's great to see a bar that made it because of the best beer in the country! read more

My local Czech friend recommended this place. Turns out it was the place where the first Pilsner Urquell was poured back in 1843. Nothing fancy, just an old school beer pub with simple food and great beer. read more

I was told by a local to come here for authentic Czech/Bohemia food that was well priced. It is in Prague 1 which in itself is very touristy so if you want to avoid the crowds then good luck. I was here on a Friday evening and the it had more locals than it did tourist. It is worth a visit and the food here is rest. I had the deer goulash, cabbage salad with fresh horse radish, bread dumplings and Pilsner Urquell. I am one that is open to trying new things and found that I just don't care much for eating Bambi but if deer is your thing than do it. I should have had the beef goulash instead but at any rate the cabbage salad was amazing and the dumplings were so so good! Oh plus they brought out a basket of bread as well. So all this cost me a total of $11 USD. Cheapest meal in Europe yet!!!! What I liked about this place is not only do they have an expansive menu in several languages and that the employees here are sweet I love that there is a NON-SMOKING AREA! YES!!!!!! Something that I have found a problem with in Eastern Europe is that everyone smokes in bars and sometimes restaurants which me having asthma makes it uncomfortable and then you walk out smelling like an ashtray. It's disgusting so Kudos to these people for accommodating folks like myself. It's also good for families as well! If you are up to a little walk and would like a crafted cocktail then look up Hemingway Bar... Apparently the crafted cocktail scene is just now hitting Europe and more and more spots are coming up with some crafty ideas to making cocktails. I can say that I have had a better Sazerac, Old Fashion and a classic Whisky Sour in Prague than I have at some of my favorite bars back in the states. read more

Very heavy, traditional Czech meal. Pretty good, but only ate around half because everything was just so dense. Waiter was quite rude and refused to give us a receipt or split the bill. I would not come here again. read more

This place, though the average traditional Czech cuisine, is a must-visit for tourists. Pilsner is served from a traditntal draft, yielding the full Czech experience. I had the chicken with veggies because I was dealing with some jet-lag stomach, but it went down easy with a brew. The atmosphere is great for big gatherings, and the service is kind and efficient. You really don't want to miss out on this renowned pub. read more

My worse experience in Praha!!The waiters here were very wicked and will ignore you on purpose with a biting motion!Even though they served an extra dish and never admit. While you need a to-go box,they will never bring it until you come up and ask for it. At last before you leave,they will never nothing. read more

The food here is fantastic - had the goulash, spicy sausage, and the free flowing beer. The spicy sausage was absolutely fantastic. The goulash was well cooked and of good quality. Even the bread was really good. We enjoyed the open air atmosphere in the outside. That said, the food was five star and the service was two star at best. It took forever for refills and when we asked for a split check they refused our cards and made us pay cash. They were quite snippy about it, which was disappointing. It turned a four star review into a three star review. Good food if you're willing to put up with the service. read more

Cash Only! The Beef and Bread Pudding was awful. Overcooked meat and inedible with salty sauce. This dish tasted the same no matter what restaurant I had it. I would try it once and AVOID if it's not for you. The pork knee however was the best in Prague. After spending $50 on the wood grilled salty ham and sauerkraut potatoes next to the clock tower this pork knee was a bargain. The skin was nice a juicy, no hair, fat nicely rendered out, and meat was moist and delectable. This is a MUST EAT while in Prague! read more

If being a little hard to find is a bad thing then yes, that is my only complaint. We had the pickled cheese, beef with dumplings, and the smoked pork neck with potato pancakes. The pickled cheese was amazing!!! The pork neck is worth coming back for and the rest is simply fantastic. The service is quick and very polite, they seem to have enough room at any time of day. Needless to say we will be back again, and I recommend you do the same. read more

This place is quite famous but for me as a local it is not very often that I would choose to come here. It's more for tourists who are looking for a rather cheap place where they can taste local meals in the centre. The atmosphere is quite authentic and so are the meals but I do not really like the rather unfriendly service. For me there are much better choices in the area. read more

Very close to the popular Wenceslas square area but slightly off the main street. The items we ordered have hits and missed. Duck & beef do not have much flavor. But the beef soup and another beef item are tasty. BTW, price is relatively low. Our group of 4 only spent less than 1,000 czk (about USD42). read more

Old world charm at this quaint Czech restaurant with a beautiful upstairs dining room. The food and beer were quite delicious even though portions were rather small so order extra sides. Service was a but cold and prices a bit higher than expected but the food was great and worth it. Book a reservation ahead of time on their website because it does fill up quick. read more

Very authentic, but also very full of tourists- however, having said that, it actually adds to the vibe here. I am quite surprised just how happy our waitress was, it really added to the great experience. The beer is awesome, the food traditional and filling, and very inexpensive. There are many places to eat Czech food in Prague, and this one will give you a good experience at a fair price. read more

The food was very good. The staff wasn't as friendly but I think this was because they are very busy. It was hard to get their attention. But once we ordered, the food came out quickly. The beer seemed a bit watery, the dark beer was good. read more

Made me feel unwelcome. Me and two friends walked in at around 21.30, the restaurant was over half empty but the manager didn't allow us to sit saying it was entirely booked. On the way out, puzzled, we asked the waiter if we could sit. When he was just about to give us the menu, he was stopped by the manager in Czech and changed the story saying it was entirely booked. read more

Great service. Straight and accurate :-) meal was perfect for me. Chicken with vegetable salad and potatoes salad. And of course great Pilsen beer. Try inner garden if it's open. read more

We did not eat, so I can't say anything about the food. We sat in the bar section (where smoking is allowed). Perfect bar if you like a place that's rustic, authentic and not so extremely anxious about service. We found most bars in Prague to be either very annoying with falling over drunk tourists, or suffer from very slow and anxious table service. This has neither. Just cheap beer on tap, nice relaxed atmosphere, and some kind of czech punk in the background. The bartender delivers beers swiftly and keeps them coming, so you can actually get drunk (whilst not, hopefully, falling over) and not have to wait around forever for service. If you're just looking to drink Pilsner Urquell and talk, this is the place to go. Don't expect american type service nor anything fancy. read more

One of the worst restaurants ever. It has some positives like good meals, location and nice garden. But beer is kind an average and what´s the worst is the service. Staff is rude, arogant and it seems that they just don´t like the work with people (which is bad in this business). If there would be a book called "How not to treat your clients - restaurant edition" and all those deterrent examples would turn alive, that exactly how staff from U Pinkasů would appear in this world.......oh wait. read more

Had the Tatarak which was delicious! I would reccomend those who have never tried raw meat to try this dish. Rub the garlic on the bread to enhance the taste. Worth every dollar spent here. The only downside was that our waitress couldnt speak much english which was perfectly okay. read more

Good czech food, svickova super tasty :) reasonable prices. Very stuffy and smoke filled restaurant, my jacket smelled like hell when I left. read more

This place is worth a stop! Lovely outdoor seating courtyard. Fast service and great food. We had the beef tartar - yum! Nicely seasoned and served with toast and garlic cloves - rub the cloves on the bread, spread the tartare like pate and enjoy! Also had the fried cheese to go with it. You can't go wrong with fried cheese! read more

Pretty cool Czech restaurant located in a few minutes from Vaclavske namesti. With average prices and tasty (and as usual heavy, except of salads) Czech food. The service is standard, the food and drinks are served rather fast; however, waiters don't bother to look friendly or smile. The atmosphere is nevertheless nice and loud, it is a typical Czech pub with many famous Czech dishes to try. The place is big, there are several floors and they also have tables outside, often full both with the locals and tourists. read more

Never felt so unwelcome in my life. They treat tourist like "we don't need you", menu isn't attractive anyway.

This restaurant was introduced to me during a brief tour guide of Prague on my second day there. The lady had mentioned that it's one of the oldest restaurant in Prague with also one of the best beers and authentic Czech dish, so naturally I had to try it. I came here on a rainy afternoon and it was kind of tricky once inside. There's a restaurant on the first floor and top floor and this one is one the top floor. Definitely a cozy atmosphere but not a bad vibe. I got a window seating by the cute flower boxes :-) my boyfriend and I ordered the quarter duck that comes with dumplings and two types of cabbages, for starters I got the spicy sausage and he got tripe soup which we both really enjoyed. Beware that quarter duck felt like a half duck and will fill you up quick! I wasn't a big fan of the cabbage here compared to other places, it was a bit too mushy for my taste and very very sweet tasting. The servers were attentive and quite friendly as well compared to other places so that was a plus. All in all definitely try the place out for yourself when in Prague read more
