| U Fleku is a huge sprawling beer hall and microbrewery located in the New Town. Of all the traditional Czech pubs in Prague, is it architecturally unrivalled. The U Fleku building dates from 1499 and is a complex of rooms laid out in true European beer hall style, each with its own design. There is the Ancient Czech Hall, Academy Hall, Cabaret Hall, Large Lounge, Travelling-Case, Sausage, and Vaclav's Room. In the warmer months, a beer garden opens at the rear, called the Hop-garden, which is decent enough for outdoor drinking with a bit of ambience. U Fleku brews its own beer on the premises, which they call lager. For visitors expecting a light beer, be aware this is a strong, robust dark ale. Alternatively, guests can order basic red and white Czech wines, plus spirits, and soft drinks. Service is as straight forward as it gets. Drinks are delivered to your table quickly enough, but to foreign sensitivities waiters can appear a bit grumpy - don't let this concern you, this is normal service for a truly traditional Czech pub. U Fleku remains popular all year round because it offers an experience of typical Czech beer and entertainment, and some might say, service! An accordionist plays all day and evening, making his way around the various halls, which adds to the beer hall atmosphere. Brewery Museum
