U Salzmannů
Pilsen's oldest pub, dating back to 1637, serving tank-poured unpasteurized Pilsner and affordable home-style Czech cooking.
The official tourism website describes it as Pilsen's oldest pub, first opened in 1637, with guest rooms upstairs. The interior has been restored in the style of an early 20th-century townhouse pub, and in summer the quiet garden courtyard with about 60 seats opens up. The beer is unpasteurized Pilsner poured straight from the tank. The kitchen serves traditional Czech dishes, with a daily set menu on weekdays. Soup costs about 58 CZK and main courses about 180–210 CZK, including rabbit leg in cream sauce with bread dumplings and goulash, offering good value. Viktoria Plzeň fans often stop in for a drink before matches. Located on Pražská Street, about a 2-minute walk from Republic Square.
