PIVOVAR NÁRODNÍ
Our craft beer Český Lev | Czech Lion and delicious cuisine
We opened the brewery in 2015 in the premises of the 17th century Voršil monastery. chair. on Národní třída in the centre of Prague. The menu in the form of Beers includes classics, but also veal shank or grilled steaks served on preheated stone slabs.
Inside, in addition to the taproom and the beautifully restored original brewing facilities, there is a large open grill where various delicacies are prepared in front of the guests. The summer beer garden is definitely worth mentioning. Sitting in the quiet garden you can make your stay more pleasant by roasting marshmallows over an open fire, which is relatively rare in the centre of Prague.
