Kolkovna V Kolkovne Czech Pub

Kolkovna's interior walls are decorated with artifacts from the early days of Pilsner Urquell brewing. Historical photos and advertisements hang alongside old tools and implements used in beer brewing, illustrating the heritage of Czechia's foremost beer.

The clientele at Kolkovna is a healthy mix of Prague locals and tourists. It is not a place for a riotous night out, merely somewhere with a convivial atmosphere to stop off at for a few fresh beers, and if the mood takes, a bite to eat.

The food is of a good standard and dishes are well presented. There is a choice of typical Czech fare, including goulash, venison, baked ribs, and a delicious roast duck served in a roasting pan. Main courses are served with side dishes of dumplings and red or white cabbage, as well as the more modern mashed potatoes and French fries.

The menu also includes food of a more international nature, such as lamb shank, beef steaks, chicken, salmon, various pasta dishes, and salad.

Kolkovna is one of a growing number of pubs and restaurants in the city to sell tank beer; the beer is delivered from the brewery unpasteurised in temperature controlled airtight tanks, which seal in the freshness. The taste is superb.

There are also several kegged beers, both light and dark, and wines, Champagne and cocktails.

In the summer, Kolkovna sets out tables on the pavement outside, creating an ideal spot for people watching in this nice Old Town location.

If you are seeking a taste of Old Prague and traditional Czech fare, but with high modern standards, Kolkovna V Kolkovne is a good option in the Old Town.
