Prague’s Municipal House (Obecní dům) has seen it all and still stands triumphant on Náměstí Republiky.

Since 1912, historical and cultural events have taken place inside and the tradition continues as the House keeps hosting events such as catering, exhibitions, banqueting, cocktail refreshments, and coffee breaks.

In 2022, the Pilsner Urquell Beer Hall got all dolled up with a little help from Vyšehrad 2000, a local catering company known for its culinary creativity that offered the place a chance to live a second youth.

A new bar (výčep) has been added, much to the delight of guests who can now enjoy freshly poured Pilsner Urquell right next to their tables.

The menu is built around Czech classics, starting with appetizers like beef tartar and moving on to hearty mains such as Pilsner beef goulash and svíčková. All ingredients are fresh and locally sourced. Guests can also enjoy a traditional soup and finish with a homemade dessert.

Vegetarians aren’t left out — dishes like fried cheese (smažák) are not just an afterthought here but are treated with real care, earning their spot among the highlights.

Meat eaters are well treated as the quality sausages and smoked meats are sourced from Bio Farma Dráb. Guests loyalty is valued and can be rewarded as the house offers a membership with a 15% discount on everything.

The dining experience is elevated by the elegant setting, surrounded by Czech Art Nouveau design that echoes through the entire Municipal House. The interiors, shaped by artists such as Alfons Mucha, Jan Preisler, and Ladislav Šaloun, create a unique atmosphere.

The building itself is full of history and detail, making a guided tour well worth it. Offered in multiple languages and suitable for all ages, the tours explore the house’s richly decorated halls and salons. Private and customized visits are also available.

Most tours begin at Smetana Hall — the cultural centerpiece of the building.

Named after composer Bedřich Smetana, the hall seats 1,200 and remains a key venue for concerts and events.
