U Bansethů Prague

Historical restaurant and brewery

Thiago from Prague

"U Bansethů is a mix of a classic pub, brewery, bakery, and café. Come hungry, thirsty, and ready to meet Gustik, their noisy bird mascot!"

I still remember when I moved to Prague in early 2019, I didn’t know many places, mostly some beaten paths exhaustedly recommended by uninteresting YouTubers. Living in Nusle neighborhood was a full plate to discover local bars and shops in the Czech capital. U Bansethů is still, for sure, one of the greatest traditional restaurants I have come across in the whole of Prague.

This legendary 100+ years old bar and restaurant, which even appears in some classic Czech novels is a neighborhood complex that comprehends not only the traditional restaurant, but also a down-to-earth bakery, a brewery and a coffee shop (located in the Bratří Synků square, just one block away from its long-standing location).

The first restaurant door is the traditional bar where Pilsner Urquell rules, but the second door is neighborhood brewery (Sousedský pivovar Bašta) where 5 different beer types wait for you, and also their mascot Gustik, a lovely and loud bird. Besides their fresh beer, the U Bansethů specialises in (but does not serve only) duck and goose dishes, so feel free to indulge yourself in these traditional Czech dishes. Recently they started to take cards, but I suggest you to bring some cash just to be on the safe side.

One tip: come hungry and thirsty.

Prague Spotter Thiago

Hi, my name is Thiago. I'm originally from Brazil, but I have been calling Prague "home" since 2019. I'm a graphic designer who loves cinema, talking to people, collecting vinyls, walking around, and people watching while having a cup of coffee or a nice beer. Why Prague? I like to say that I didn't choose Prague, but Prague choose me. My girlfriend got a job here, and since I was working as a freelancer we decided to come together for a year... and then 6 years have passed. As Kafka once said, this city has claws that won't let you go, and I'm glad for that =)
