I had beef neck sous-vide with a lager. The beef was accompanied by a poached egg, bread dumplings, and a dill sauce. I was expecting something heavy, but it wasn't. It was really excellent.

TLDR: there are better options for food and beer. I came here because the reviews were excellent,…read morehowever, I wasn't the biggest fan. We ordered the beef cheeks, which were served cold (likely as intended but not what I was expecting). Flavor was fine but not great. The burger was also just okay. For something so standard, it was passable but not likely to order again. Our favorite dishes were 1) the duck and 2) potato and vegetable patties. Duck was crispy, hot, and had pretty good flavor! The vegetable patties were also crispy and balanced, slightly sweet. The beer list was limited but we liked what we ordered. Hate to be a broken record but we've had better while in the city. Wouldn't recommend this place to a friend since it was just average.

There was a restaurant to the right and also brewery to the right. We made the left turn and noticed two huge copper kettle welcoming. The lady told us to sit at the two seater desk right next to a person coughing real bad and that really made us comfortable. Ordered DIPA. Soup and salad. Pilsner arrived first by mistake which I didn't touch. Turned out to be for the guy coughing real bad. Soon, mine arrived. It was one of the best tasting DIPA. I had to compliment the bartender. Apparently, this one is brewed here also. Very nice ambience especially with two copper kettles at the front. Monks stopped brewing beers for awhile. No ales.

This one…read morereally stands out, telling you the story of the brewery effectively through a couple short videos and taking you into some rather unique areas like the old brewhouse and cellars, where of course you get an outstanding glass straight from the barrel. You see the current production & bottling areas as well, it doesn't Disneyify the brewing process like some of the other high-volume European brewers do.

No it is not fancy, no white table cloths, no silver knife and fork. This place is just pure. Wooden tables and chairs, simple table cloths and an entourage that is for the locals. That is just what makes this place that comfortable. The menu is only available in Czech. How about the food? Well just perfect! Honest and good. A real pearl food wise. Honestly it is a real good place to eat and to enjoy good food and beer. But be aware one of the group will hate this place. Because he is not allowed to drink as dedicated driver.

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!

At first we were thrilled with our server's recommendations and excellent attention, as well as with the cocktails, food, and gorgeous ambiance. The problem occurred toward the end of the evening. Our server cleared our dishes and asked if we were interested in dessert. We said we would be happy to consider the choices. He left us and got busy with another party, which we understood, so waited for about 20 minutes. One of his colleagues passed by and we mentioned that we were waiting. We saw her tell our server, who still did not make time to check in with us. After waiting even longer, one member of our party--originally from England, which becomes important later--got up, found the server, and asked if we could get the dessert menu. Finally he came to our table. He did not apologize for the wait (all he needed to say was that he had gotten swamped, and we would have been fine with that small explanation). Instead, he said, "The hardest part is waiting," mentioned there is no actual dessert menu, then left and came back with a board showing us some of the desserts, explaining what they were. He was obviously irritated with us and so we opted to end the evening and asked for the check. He brought it quickly and pointedly explained that we could tip him. We were uninterested in rewarding his rudeness and did not tip him. Then he insultingly said to our English friend, who was paying: "I didn't think you had an American accent." This was so unprofessional. We go out of our way to be gracious when we travel, not wanting to be seen as "ugly Americans." We tip almost everyone and generously. Your server's increasing rudeness and growing irritation with us was completely uncalled for, and we are so disappointed to have this memory of an otherwise wonderful few days in your beautiful city.
