Plzeň


The Pilsner Urquell Brewery tour often ends with a meal (and several more beers, naturally) at this pub, situated within the confines of the brewery itself. The traditional Czech cooking, such as venison stew flavoured with red wine, is reasonably priced and well above average, and the beer is fresh from tanks next door.
