Na Spilce

Na Spilce is the restaurant and pub on the grounds of the Pilsner Urquell Brewery, and it is the best place in the world to drink Pilsner Urquell. The vast hall — it seats over 700 people — was built in 1929 in a Functionalist style and was the fermentation cellar (hence the name: "spilka" means fermenting cellar). It has been a restaurant since the 1970s.

The beer here is served from tanks, unfiltered and unpasteurised, which makes it noticeably different from the version you buy in a bottle or can: creamier, slightly yeasty, with a fuller hop character. Alongside the standard Czech menu — schnitzel, roast pork, goulash, svíčková — there are usually a few seasonal dishes. Prices are reasonable for a tourist-facing operation, and the service is efficient even when the hall is full. You don't need to be on a brewery tour to eat here; the restaurant is open daily from lunch. Reservations are worth making in summer.
