Welcome to the Restaurant U Pinkasu!

Did Jakub Pinkas know in April 1843 that he was founding the most famous Czech "pub" U Pinkasu with the most renowned beer, a place where the history of this nation would be made?

Just as Prague Castle or the Vltava River is an essential part of Prague, the Czech enthusiasm for good beer and cosy pubs can be considered a national heritage. Just a few steps away from Wenceslas Square you will find the traditional "U Pinkasu" Restaurant, where Pilsner Urquell was first tapped in Prague in 1843.

  • Today we offer perfectly treated and traditionally tapped beer from stainless steel tanks on three floors, with each of these spaces appealing to guests with a unique and specific atmosphere.
  • And that is what people like to come here for - excellent Pilsner beer, tapped in the traditional way, authentic Czech cuisine and friendly ambiance.

We look forward to your visit!

Beer garden in Prague

The Gothic Garden U Pinkasů is open for the new season from May! Come, we invite you to enjoy our famous specialties or traditional Pilsner Urquell beer in one of the most peaceful and beautiful gardens in the centre of Prague.

The original building project of the adjacent Church of Our Lady of the Snows included, in addition to the church itself, the completion of the north aisle and the construction of the coronation cathedral next to the church, which fell victim to fire at the beginning of the Hussite storms. Only a part of the outer wall and the open space between the church and the present-day restaurant U Pinkasů remain today.

This open space now serves as a summer seating area, one of the most peaceful and beautiful gardens the centre of Prague has to offer. This seasonal part of our restaurant provides an exceptional "genius loci" experience with a garden grill and smokehouse.
