The project reached Prague. The unsurpassed beer from Pilsen has found its second home here, in the capital city. From the very beginning the idea for the Kolkovna restaurant was to create a unique environment with an inspiring and original atmosphere that would link the best of the Czech brewing tradition and Czech cuisine adapted to the requirements of a modern day lifestyle. This has been achieved thanks to the liaison of the Kolkovna Group and Pilsner Urquell Original Restaurants. The idea of the project is to offer a unique, uni- form and harmonised interior style and food, not to mention the excellent quality of Pilsner Urquell beer. This first restau- rant is famous because of its location in the building of a for- mer ‘fee stamping’ office where Govt. securities and stamps were pressed. The interior of the Kolkovna Restaurant was designed by Jiří Hanzlík, an architect. The interior is deco- rated with historical photos, advertisement notices, historical tools used for beer production and other artefacts illustrating the rich tradition of Pilsen Urquell and beer brewing. Guests are made welcome in a comfortable atmosphere, echoing the beginning of the last century. The Kolkovna Restaurant is not only a tourist attraction, but also a lively meeting place for modern people who respect history and tradition, and at the same time require originality. The guests´ taste buds will appreciate not only the golden lager Pilsner Urquell but also good quality food. Apart from the traditional Czech food and beer specialities, international cuisine and culinary specia- lities are available. For example, a roast duck served in a roasting pan is worth a mention. The Restaurant can seat 150 guests inside, 90 guests in the cellar premises and 50 in the front beer garden that is open in summer till 22:00. One can enjoy the atmosphere of this historical place and Pilsner Urquell lager every day between 11:00 and 24:00. Reviews:
Been There: Kolkovna
Guardian Unlimited, 2006-03-30 A beautiful art nouveau bar with traditional, hearty, Czech food. Try the moravsky hrabec, a dish of diced pork and onions, which comes with both bread and potato dumplings and red and white sauerkraut. Of course all this wonderful Bohemian fair needs washing down, this bar is owned by the Pilsner Urquell brewery and sells beer by the litre.
Kolkovna Revisited
Prague.tv, 2006-08-29 When it first opened, Kolkovna was a breath of fresh air. The food was way above pub average, combining Czech classics with more modern fare, and, for the Old Town, all priced within reason. The beer, Pilsner Urquell, was from the tank - un-pasteurized and never kegged, with no carbon dioxide - and also affordable by the standards of the center.
Phoning it in
The Prague Post, 2006-08-02 The quintessential Czech beer hall still pulls in adoring crowds. When expats treat visiting relatives to a dose of local flavor, they often choose this Old Town corner spot. But many in-the-know types are quick to suggest that Kolkovna just isn't what it used to be. There are some really good places for Czech food in Prague and many (but not all) have decent service. Kolkovna is not one of them. Because of its location (spot on the tourist path) there is no real attractive atmosphere but more of a in 'n out kinda feeling. There are better options (like Celnici or Bredovsky Dvur) where they are more than used to non Czech speaking guests and have a better menu and service. The food is at best lack luster but the service is abyssmal. Just don't go there, it will be a test and you don't want that. Petr - 13 Jan 2010 Beside having great beer on tap, their onionrings are highly recommended. NielsP - 13 Oct 2009
