Hospoda Na Louži

Český Krumlov


Nothing's changed in this wood-panelled pivo (beer) parlour for almost a century. Locals and tourists pack Na Louži for huge plates of Czech staples such as chicken schnitzels or roast pork and dumplings, as well as dark (and light) beer from the local Eggenberg brewery. Get the fruit dumplings for dessert if you see them on the menu.
