U Kunštátů

U Kunštátů – Craft Beer in Old Town is a distinctive craft beer bar hidden inside the historic Palace U Kunštátů in Prague’s Old Town. Rather than a conventional nightlife venue, it combines Czech craft beer culture with an unusually historic setting, including a peaceful courtyard beer garden, a Gothic hall, and a Romanesque underground cellar dating from the 12th century. The official website highlights a selection of more than 100 Czech craft beers, alongside beer tasting sets and traditional Czech beer specialties and tapas.

The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, with the courtyard providing a quieter escape from the busy streets of central Prague. The historic surroundings give the venue much of its character: the palace is associated with King George of Poděbrady, who lived here before becoming King of Bohemia in 1458.

Beer is unquestionably the focus. Visitors can choose individual craft beers or tasting sets designed to introduce different styles from Czech breweries. The official tasting experience includes 10 local craft-beer samples and traditional savory Czech beer delicacies, with tastings available by prior reservation.

U Kunštátů does not present itself as a DJ-driven nightclub, and there is no verified evidence from the supplied official sources of resident DJs, international DJs, dance shows, or regular live performances. Its entertainment appeal instead comes from beer discovery, tasting experiences, and the historic architecture.

The venue is particularly attractive to travelers who want to combine sightseeing with Prague’s modern craft-beer scene. Its location on Řetězová puts it within easy walking distance of Old Town Square and Charles Bridge. Tripadvisor currently lists U Kunštátů among its Travelers’ Choice properties, while the venue’s strongest differentiator remains the combination of a large Czech craft-beer selection and a medieval architectural setting.
