This is a real local Czech pub. A lot of locals, enjoying a pint and a shot. It has a lively and…read morefriendly atmosphere, but don't expect a lot of English to be spoken here. The decor is traditional Central European pub: wooden tables, chairs, and benches along the walls. There is a nice outdoor garden out front with ample seating during nice weather, even a small play area for children. Overall: nothing fancy, but a decent and jolly place if you find yourself on this side of Zlín.

This is a high popular spot for locals and maybe tourists. Zlin is not a highly sought out place…read morefor tourists, so this restaurant is more frequented by the people who know how good Pilsner Urquell is. This restaurant is by the same owners as the Pilsner Urquell Original Restaurant (PUOR Zlin) just a couple blocks away. Budvarka is an attempt at a more elevated menu and atmosphere as compared to the bar/pub model at PUOR. The food is good though always changing which is great for a new restaurant in development. The service is about the same as in PUOR but you're more focused on your food and drink anyway so just tip well if you're so inclined and enjoy your stay. Classics such as fried cheese and schnitzel were good and comforting. Beers are great and give a nice taste of variety as compared to the taps at PUOR. Dining area is absolutely beautiful with light hardwoods and a huge open viewing area of the beer room. Noise level can get a bit high as popularity grows but it's something you'd expect at a place like this. Businesses like this are sprouting up around Zlin to meet the needs and demands of the growing younger population who are learning that there is more out there to try, so I imagine Budvarka will continue to evolve over the coming months/years and I am curious to see the changes every time I fly in.

This is an AMAZING cocktail bar! Such high quality, notable for a Czech provincial city. They…read morereally do a great job here with cocktails, and are very knowledgeable and professional. Ask them, and you shall receive - I ordered a Bourbon Manhattan, and it was completely up to snuff. It's also (deservedly) a trendy hot spot, especially for those locals and visitors who are not looking for the traditional Czech pub. Why drink beer here, after all?!?
