Lovely place for some mead and meat. The ambiance on the lower floor absolutely screams piles of meat and dark brews while finding shelter from the cold outside. It delivers on most of these fairly well. However, it was surprising how poorly stocked the place seemed to be. From all the brews they had on the menu they only had 2 of them properly supplied, most other requests were met with "we may just have one laying around". This was the case for the Weizener and most blonde beers and pilseners (as well as having ran out of Red Bull). The quality of the meat was alright but lacked overall seasoning. The ribs were the polar opposite of the chicken and most other meats we had assorted; magnificently tender and juicy. I found most other options on the dry side of the spectrum. A final point is the absolutely ridiculously bad service they provide. It's borderline rude and continuously making you feel like a burden because you want to order more drinks/food etc. (this is the treatment while speaking the native language, so that's worrisome for...
Read moreNaprosto příšerná zkušenost s touto dříve slavnou hospodou/restaurací. Sice je znovu otevřená, ale doporučuji aby ji radši zavřeli a zamysleli se.
Dole napíši tuto recenzi i v angličtině, protože si fakt turista nezaslouží přijít do hospody, jako je tato.
První zkušenost máte takovou, že když si tam dáte sraz s přáteli, tak to v místě adresy 10 minut hledáte, protože to sídlí v prostorách, kde byla jiná restaurace a stále to nese její jméno. Pak si všimnete křídou napsaného vzkazu v češtině. Skvělé a intuitivní zejména pro cizince.
Když tam vejdete, máte pocit že jste ve sklepě nějakého domu. Historický charakter hospody mají napovědět něco jako ovčí kůže na lavicích, jinak nic. Je to sklep. Chladnej, zatuchlej. Reálně tam sedíte v bundě. Historický charakter nenavodí ani elektronická techno hudba hrající z repráků.
Pokud máte v plánu jít na wc, například jen na malou, tak se pravděpodobně i poblijete, protože neodtékal záchod a nebyl tam toaleťák.
Servírka co vypadá, že si odskočila od tatéra pinglovat a práce ji očividně nebaví vám sdělí, že mají místo 8 druhů piv na čepu jen 2. Jídlo jsme radši nezkoušeli, ale z doslechu víme, že se tam dlouho čeká a reprezentativní také není. Nesoudím, neměl sem.
Vlastně je mi líto, že dříve dobrá hospoda takto klesla. Absolutely terrible experience with this once-famous pub/restaurant. Yes, it has reopened, but I’d honestly recommend shutting it down again and rethinking everything.
I’m writing this review in English as well because no tourist deserves to walk into a place like this.
Your first experience is wandering around for 10 minutes trying to find it, even with the correct address. It’s located in a space that previously housed a different restaurant, and it still carries that old name. Then, you finally spot a message written in chalk—in Czech, of course. Very helpful and intuitive, especially for foreigners.
When you step inside, it feels like you’ve just walked into someone’s basement. They’ve tried to hint at a historical atmosphere by throwing some sheepskins on the benches, but other than that—nothing. It’s just a basement. Cold and musty. You’ll probably end up sitting there in your jacket. The so-called historical ambiance is further ruined by electronic techno music blasting from the speakers.
If you plan on using the toilet, even just for a quick visit, be prepared—you might actually throw up. The toilet didn’t flush, and there was no toilet paper.
The waitress, who looks like she just stepped away from a tattoo session to do a shift and clearly hates her job, will inform you that instead of the advertised eight beers on tap, they only have two. We didn’t even dare try the food, but we heard from others that the wait is long and the quality isn’t great. I won’t judge, since I didn’t have any.
Honestly, it’s just sad to see a once-great pub...
Read moreMixed feelings right at the entry were triggered by a funny look from the guy behind the bar. I've ordered a meal costing as much as an average cost of lunch menu in Brno, something that later turned out to be one piece of dry, stale, briefly microwaved pancake, rolled into cigar sized roll stuffed with plum jam and dusted with icing sugar... (?!!) It said comes with goose fat, maybe the goose just brushed it's tired feather pass by it, I'm afraid. It was hard and practically inedible. I wanted to cancel the order originally, literally few second after ordering as I've realized I run of time to have the meal. The waiter told me it's not possible because "he has already printed the receipt and it's my fault". So remember, it will be your fault if you ignore this review and order your meal there. You've...
