Pivovarská Brána

I found this restaurant by surprise, whe i was looking for a warm place, a warm meal and a cold craft beer. It's a rusty place, where the chef is standing with his friends smoking oustside the restaurant. Although it was not on the menu, i got a vegetarian meal (fried cheese, a classic), what was very tasty. There were 7 czech an one belgian craft beers on tap, which were unknown by me -and all of them were fresh and for a fair price. It's not so cool, but very cosy and the beer is really great.

Swietne miejsce w samym centrum. Genialny piwny gulasz z chlebem wlasnego wypieku. Kilka kranów z piwami z calych Czech. Do tego dwa firmowe piwa. Polecam!

Klasyczna ciemna czeska piwnica; prawie klasyczna, bowiem na kranach wiekszosc stanowia ale. Obsluga jest zyczliwa, najlatwiej dogadac sie po polsku. :) Najwieksze wrazenie zrobily na mnie jednak oferowane potrawy - swiezutkie, pachnace, ladnie podane i duze porcje; czeka sie na nie dosc dlugo, ale zdecydowanie warto.

A very pleasant place, very traditional inside with dark wooden paneling on the walls, vaulted ceilings and more dark wood furniture. There is also an outside deck area if the sun is shining. The atmosphere is pretty cool and friendly. They have 8 taps serving various specialties from small Czech breweries from a centraly located bar. The beer prices very good. The service is friendly and knowlagable. There is a modest food selection, at average prices. A Non-smoking place like most in Czechia now. It is very popular in the evening, so it is hard to get seat as a rule, all are reserved. I would definatly recommend!

Ten taps with craft brews. No food on my friday. Had a completely unknown tmave. I like such challenges. Gocár Tmavy Lezak wtf? Brevnovský Benedict Tmavý Ležák is the real name.

Baaardzo przyjemne miejsce - klimat jak z typowej czeskiej piwiarni plus 8 kranów - zarówno pilsnery jak i różne specjalności z małych browarów (podczas moich odwiedzin tylko czeskich). Ceny piw wyższe niż w normalnych knajpach tamtego kraju, ale ogólnie trochę niższe niż w Polsce - Czesi mniej zdzierają na piwnej modzie. Sympatyczna obsługa. Wybór jedzenia skromny, ceny średnie. Lokal dla niepalących. Bardzo popularny, więc wieczorem trudno o wolne miejsce, z reguły wszystkie są zarezerwowane. Czasem zdarzy się coś wolnego przy samym barze. Polecam!

Zawsze kiedy mam okazję odwiedzam Bramę. Kilka kranów z lokalnym craftem+ ciekawostki (USA - w zależności od wizyty) Znakomite jedzenie - pivny gulasz.

Really nice place in the center of Hradec Kralove. Very good and cheap czech cuisine. Helpful and friendly service. When I was there the beer selection wasn’’t too impressive (mostly typical czech styles like tmave or svetly lezak), but the beers I had were decent. Bartender said they normally have more interesting selection - beers from Kocour, Matuska etc.

Cracking boozer in Hradec. With thanks to Carl for leading us there. We went through to Hradec for the Sunday game and stopped here before hand. Traditional Czech interior. Very welcoming and with surprisingly offbeat beers on tap. Schneiders Porter Weisse and a host of Czech micros. At one point, one of us spilled nearly a whole pint over the table. Once the initial trauma had subsided, the barman cheerily replace the pint. Integrity move. After the game, we received a police escort from the stadium back up the hill to the boozer. When we asked the police why, they said it was because they didn’t trust the home fans to leave us alone. Lovely town, lovely boozer. Well worth a visit.
